"Fix it" arvo/evening this Sat, 12 April

[Timati]

when's the next one?

Definitely up the the next one.

oh, and timati: cheers for the coronas... all 5 of them

lol, they can be easy drink. Usually go through them like water.

Am going to try and edit the video on the disassembly and assembly of the brake pads and upload it.

Fork oil change is next priority on my list so I'm so glad i saw how you guys let me see how its done

[gijoe1313]

Blardy hell, been a whiles since I done a right spannering like that with mates!

Fun and games and the usual brain fades occurring as petrol, oil and other intoxicants from mechanical things wafted into the night ...

Plenty of off coloured jokes, innuendo and the witty repartee that accompanies filthy biker scum!

Cheers to Stephen for running a great spanner evening, reminds me that I need to get back into those again for South Siders!

Note to EJ : Find a carb, install ... then you can decide what to do with the little FXR afterwards and not before!

We've talked about it! I'm hearing that 5 times now! (or more)

It was nice to meet some new peoples

The guy on RS250, CB400 (It's got a loud engine!), VTR250 Black, CBR250R MC19 etc etc...

All good guys

not that it makes much difference...


pretty hard to sell a bike you don't actually have in your possession

Once more time EJ, it seems you don't get with the game plan!

Locate Carb suitable for purpose (oh wait, Xerxes!), attach, test ...

I think everyone needs to say it so you can hear the message over and over! :slap:

I think its time to hide the FXR at another location ... seems people are trying to track it down

What a load of poppycock!

Now, if you'd be so kind as to lean forward toward me, ignore that silly flower in my lapel shaped like a microphone, yes that's it... and now just speak up in a BIG voice and tell me in COMPLETE confidentiality where the FXR is... there's a fellow

:

I'm a northern rider but i'll be glad and honoured to do the 50k or so trip to south aucks just to participate and learn new bike tinkering stuff. very keen. name the time and place and i'll be there.

"You must spread some reputation around before giving it to gijoe1313 again" o well

Yeah cheers Stephen for the great night haha good to see all you guys, I hope I helped with some entertainment for the night too

Did the clear coats yesterday and right now my bike is ready to be picked up but I have no way of getting to Stephen's to grab it! Anyone near Herne Bay wanna drop me at Stephens today sometime haha?!

Haha i wonder what colour did you paint it? red black?

It was a fantastic night and look forward more in the future.

Got my throttle cable sorted in the end but took a good 2 hours.

Props to Stephen, Andrew and Justin for getting that damm fuel tank on and off.

It took 4 of us including me getting it back on as we didn't have any hose clamps, one to hold the tank, one to hold on to the pressurized hose, one to hold on to the overflow hose and one to attach all everything together.

*snip*

the westie screwdriver and hammer soon replaced the honda tool for altering rear shock spring preload. those cuts on my finger came back to haunt me every time i came into contact with petrol/carby cleaner
*snip*

Uh, yeah, sorry ANdrew! I owe you a beer - you had "the touch" with the honda tool (wouldn't work for me!) but the westie screwdriver won the day

Suspension is great BTW! Got thrashed through my home twisties on the way back - was waaaay better round bumpy corners - no disturbing wallowing or bottoming out - yay!

Great night all - sorry I had to leave early (I wasn't even in trubs when I got home!)

Roll on next spanner night!
