    Big thanks to Wellington Motorcycles !!

    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.

    Thanks Bytor.
    The thought that I was just about to go onto the Motorway and have that rear-wheel lock-up gives me the shudders

    I must say all the years I've been dealing with WMCC they have always been exemplary.
    Superdukes. Serving up shame to sportsbikes since ages ago.

    Mate from what I've seen and heard from you, I'd have to be at school to be dealing with you.

    Using a company computer for personal use is a punishable offense. Where's my beer McFly?

    Hey Nudez look out for my daughter at Roger Waters, she's a good looking red head.
