Good on ya for dealing to it so quickly, wish I had those skills. Must learn them soon

The RF is all up and running again....Very rideable but could be better... After the wedding she gets some goodies.. Ie filter, exhaust, jets and maybe even an ignition timing advance...Well, if the wife then will let me lol

We should do that coffee on the zukis eh! Great to have the gixxer up and running again

Bring on the wedding then lol. The Riffer should be a class act after that little overhaul

Yeah man, will have to sort that one out....I guess the other flavour of bikes could come along too......

Yeah it will be good to get it out of the way.. So much organising and wallet emptying.... Rather stressful but will be a bloody good night..

I reckon that would be a goer, just deal to the carbies and you'll never have to see them again.
Anyway, thats how I spent my evening, how did the rest of you manawatu buggers spend yours????????
