Anyone allergic to free pizza?

Depends on the topping

[Mr Triple]

I couldn't say no to pizza

[stevewederell]

Sweet, I'll get something sorted.

Down side for me is looks like I'll be bringing the cage tonight. Wanted to check actual volume of tank so ran her down to what I thought was near empty. Was 5L left, tipped the rest out, but the kicker I think, is that to get it all out I shook it. Reckons this may be reason that...she won't go.

Went to crank her up this morning (that was 2nd mistake, should have tested last night!!), she went but not happy - Fuel turned off, slap upside the head and turned back on - still running poorly - went inside to get helmet - no go. Tried several times but sounds like she's starved.

When I get home I'mm try starting from reserve incase main line is blocked somehow.

So, If you seem me tonight without her, then I won't be happy, but should still have pizzas.

[stevewederell]

Yay, much happier now.

Was a very simple problem after all, didn't seem that way first thing in the morning though. Both fuel line had become kinked when I put the tank back on. A few then push the go go button and all was well again.

We're friends again now!

[JMemonic]

Well folks that was all she wrote, as I saw it tonight was a great social gathering with everyone champing at the bit for next week and getting back into the weekly rides.

I would sincerely like to thank Wayne for providing the workshop, tools and knowledge but also everyone who has turned up over the last few months and either put up a bike for maintenance or offered advise and assistance to those in need.

Hopefully these can be restarted next year and I am aware that there is the possibility of some maintenance events in the upcoming year.

See you all next week

CHeers Steve for the Pizza!

Just to reiterate what JM said! Thanks for all the help with the bikes and for putting the shop up wayne. URE AWESOME!

[wofman]

[stevewederell]

Big thanks from me to Wayne for use of all his stuff and to everyone else that's helped me keep Connie upright and moving forward.

It's been a huge help and much appreciated.

Hope to get along to a few of those rides too, I'll be hanging around the back for a while I reckon!

[Mr Triple]

Well this all comes to an end now and maybe we can start again next winter. Although I've personally not done a lot apart from holding the odd spanner, talked some crap and drunk beer afterwards, its been great to meet new faces and to keep in touch with the others throughout the winter. A real big thanks to Wayne for the use of his garage as this would not of happened without his help.
Oh and thanks for the pizzas Steve, they went down very well when you didn't have any tea!!
