As some know I binned my scoot a couple of weeks ago and have been out of commission for the most part.
I ordered a new fairing from the States but when Nodrog went to fit it we worked out that it was for a different model ZX
Now as I'd never been to Paeroa's BOTS and the fact that I had a house full of bikers staying over I was pretty freck'n determined to get/ride there somehow,some way...so out came the duct tape,Kneed It and glue!
Ok...so after the above was applied with a healthy dose of WareHouse approved gloss black paint we had a goer....except for the fact I can't bend my left knee.
Ok...at this stage bourbon number 5 or 6 had made its way into the system and the brain/marble juices started to flow...what to do?
So I grabbed the broom,cut the end off,jammed it in the left Oggy Knob,Nodrog wrapped in some foam and cables ties and bob's ya aunty.
Oh...one more problem. Changing gears...add 1x 1/2" ring spanner and a piece of bamboo...place said spanner over gear shifter,tape bamboo to spanner and voila,we have a gear shifter!
Well yes I did make it to Paeroa and yes it was well worth the efforts myself but mostly Nodrog put into it,but the look on peoples faces as I passed them was Priceless!
Moral of the story? Ya can NEVER keep a determined true biker down
