Hiya,
I did a "wee" mistake putting my rear wheel back into the Guzzi after getting a new tyre put on.
Unfortunately this involved the rear caliper plate spinning around, locking the rear wheel up and tearing off the brake hose !!!
Luckily I was doing all of 10km/h.
I managed to get the bike home and dismantled the rear wheel and removed the hose.
Then panic set in: I needed this bike fuctional for my trip to ChCh tomorrow !!!
Went down to Wellington Motorcycles and Pete (Crasherfromwayback) and Mike helped me out by making a new brake hose up for me within an hour !!
They saved my bacon !!
SO, BIGGGGG THANKS TO WMCC !!!!!!!!!!!
All I have to do is reassemble the rear wheel (correctly) tonight, re-bleed and I'm happy. Bring on Roger Waters !!
Oh yes, lesson learned - always check everything after reassembly.
