[Blakamin]

SHit man... sorry to hear about the bin.... wasnt a lack of rear brakes was it??

hope you get it back together soon

[Quasievil]

Oh Bruce bruce bruce, ya silly bastard.Just picked up on the thread, I guess you binned after lunch. I must say mate you were giving it a serious nudge with that camera on board to accelerate yourself that bit more so you must have been to close to the edge on the last run.

Im fucken glad youre okay though mate, not good to have the TL out of action, I hope it gets on the road again real soon.
Did Chris and Matt head of first, were you playing catch up?
Did all those Cops hanging around turn up ?
You could have rung mate I would have brought a trailer over to take you back mate.

Anyway chin up and look forward to seeing you on the road soon

[Drunken Monkey]

I lay low for a couple of weeks and this is what I come back too...

Bugger!

That reminds me, I should see WTF is happening with my bike...

[Coldkiwi]

bummer bruce. Glad to hear you're ok. I agree with frosty on his theory... my new paint only lasted 2 weeks before it found the gravel. Hope you get it back up and running soon

[loosebruce]

Hey cheers heaps guys, i can see that if someone was bummed about a bin, you guys would make them feel a whole shitload better, not that i'm too bummed or anything just the way it is, the bikes still rideable, jsut don't look too flash, much like me in the morning

Velox - You'd think parts are easy to find but they're in hot demand, i wonder why

Jazbug5 - ain't got no brusing to heal, i'm completely fine (not in the head though, some problems up there ) And yes i will be at tokannu

DM - Yea shit mate where's your bike at, tell em to hurry up aye!

Quasi - Yea they took off when i stopped to sort the camera so i was playing catch up, I'm already back on the road mate No cops showed up i didn't hang round for long, picked the bike up, kicked a few things straight and carried on with it, as you do. Cheers for the offer on the trailer though mate, have a good trip overseas, if you want someone to look after your 6 while you're away, i know a loving caring rider without a complete bike at the moment

[erik]

Aw man, sorry to hear that.

Glad you're ok and goodluck with getting your bike fixed up.

[DEATH_INC.]

Someone forgot to mention to me it was a "calm" ride today, so there i was on my fav bit of road waihi to whangamata playing catch up on matt and chris when it all went pear shaped, those who have ridden the road know its tight, but yeah i don't know exactly what i did wrong, came out of a tight left brush on the brakes, tip into the right and lost the front at about 90 - 95kph and proceeded to check out some of our beautiful native plants on the side of the road. Still trying to figure out what i did wrong, only thing i can think of is up until recently my brakes were shit, you could pull the lever to the handlebar like a clutch kinda shit, now after a service they're great, i think i may of just stabbed the brake to hard and got way more force than what i used to, meh i don't know.

I myself am totally fine not a scratch on me, thank you to my trusty leathers, boots, gloves and helmet, the bike well, the right hand front fairing is smashed to bits, lost the intake peice, mirror busted as well as the indicator. The killer was the broken foot peg bracket which meant riding home without a foot peg, sucky! The muffler has seen much better days too. Behold the brake lever stayed intact though, which was great wouldv'e been a crap ride home without it, coz the rear brake lever was munted.

Anyone out there got some spare bits for a TL "S" let me know.

The best thing about it all is i got it all on video camera, funny how shit always happens when a camera's involved init!!!!

Good ride up until then though, meet chris at BP waterveiw then meet matt at Ellerslie and we left the crap weather that was auckland at the time, to hit the coromandel, weather was average until hikiau (sp) then it was the fine for the rest of the day, we meet quasi halfway through to waihi on the first run through, but he had to shoot off to work later in the arvo.

Ride safe guys and if you don't ride safe make a sure you gotta gooda gear on alright.

Fuck mate sorry to hear about that. Only one thing for it, buy a new gixxer.
