Manawatu Rant n Rave

[NZsarge]

I just got a box full of Prolan (lanolin) products today and I'm going to try it out as a chain lube. Apparently it works real well and lasts for quite some time. We'll see I guess, but it's certainly cheaper than anything in an aerosol.

Hmmm, have to check that out..

[Mom]

i had heard it was something like 1K to get. sounds good in theory but im ment to be a pro driver, and the nice law enforcement folk went to the bother of letting my employer know that "one of there drivers wont be doing much driving for the next 3 months" so i dont think ill get away with it.

i gave the Citizens Advice Bureau a call but they wernt much use, the just told me to use google.
so i tried the free lawer service and they just gave me the phone number of a regular lawer.

i was planing on skipping the country in about 3 months anyway so i might as well sell my bike now, use the money to keep my job and remove the temptation of riding it. any takers???

There is a thread on here spelling out how to apply for a work licence. You will have to wait 28 days before you can get it though. Would not be too much of a deterrant if you simply got one issued the day you lost it in the first place.

my licence is gone for 3 months, this is bad, very bad. they just came and took it off me on the spot. no letter or any heads up of any kind. i didnt even know i had gone over my demerits. thought i was in the clear. anyone know about getting a "limited licence"?

Talk to the courts, from what I understand you can apply yourself thru the courts, but one off only. No need for a lawyer, but if it is declined you have to use a lawyer to reapply.
There is no stand-down time, you can apply now.

There is no stand-down when its for Demerit points, you only have a 28day stand-down when its for a disqualification thru the courts.

True? Well then, best not to get demerits to the stage that you walk then. I learned something.

Should I throw the boat + Rover on TardMe in $1 reserve auctions? I wouldn't mind scraping s few thousand together and going silly in a bike shop...I'm sick of a bikeless garage.

If I get enough coin, chances are I'll grab the firts single seat GB400TT I see. I want another bros650, but, I am not willing to pay the silly rego costs.
A new set of riding gear will be needed too.

just get a 400 and engine swap it, the frames the same iirc. Then I can sell you all my old parts!

The frames are essentially the same, but, belive me, the 400 has smaller crappier forks [Hard to believe as the 650 has freaking shit forks]
It would be a death trap.
What do you mean your old parts? Have you broken yours?

Got the V8 on trade me along with the boat now.
Wish me luck Ladles and gentle spoons

Heh....choice!!!!!!


I shall look at 599cc and less, must be fun and good looking. Fast is not a major [typical Honda owner....] 400cc 4cyls would be heaps quick enough for the time being. GB400 single seat is top of the list, followed by honda CB-1/CB400 and a GSX400.
The the usual, FZR400 [The pretty one], zxr400, GSXR400 [Maybe...if the price is good....]
and I dream of NC29 CBR400RR and NC30 Viffers...

Well I could sell you some 650 forks for one! (in a few months that is) haven't broken parts, just finding/making better ones
