Manawatu weekend rides

[GSVR]

Bright and early tomorrow morning, departure 8:30 I recall, coming for a part ride mate?

Hmmmm. I would but my front tyres bald.

[oscarnz]

what time you heading up that way...

We are going to try and get away between 7 - 8am, as soon as I get Pauly and Thommo (a good friend of ours) out of bed and in the car.
As this woman doesnt like being late!!!!

Just remember to take some duct tape. Just in case..........................

Friggin prophetic words there mate,you don't know how close to the truth this post is.

[ynot slow]

Is duct tape strong enough to hold panniers on?

Nope but tie downs will work pretty good Ithink.

The Gods of a dumb ass biker have spoken Just when the week couldn't have got any worse, it did.

Stopped to take pics of the beautiful new luggage system, parked in a STUPID place, cut grass everywhere, got off bike, bike all good, I slipped down bank, knocked bike. I landed at the bottom and watched in slow motion horror as my baby followed me down

Huge thanks to Tony and Janine the passerbys, and to Kerry. Long chat, talked me through the procedure for restarting a bike that's been almost upside down for 20 minutes.

Broken clutch lever, indicator, pannier system, and scratched tank.

Going to the shed now to repair. She will go to the ball.

Oh no Al!

Have fun up north you guys, still very bummed I'm not coming too. Looks like a great weekend, so please try not to enjoy the ride too much.

As for my bike, it's now ensconced in my mate's garage, got the service manual, looks like HD are coming to the party on supplying a new belt under warranty, so should be pulling things apart and making a mess fairly soon now.

We gonna miss you Horse, bummed your not coming

Panniers and Top box fitting Won't be long til I need a reversing light. May have time for a clean as well, I won't recognise it then

Is that the wild blue yon? Speaking of which, wild blue panniers going on right now. Mmmmm

You know i,m gonna get the tape out

Should be right thanks Sarge...

Now, I've been working all day and haven't packed as yet but reckon I possibly won't even need my topbox...so am I bringing it? Also, have checked out my tent and it hasn't rotted away to nothing so is all good - do I need it (3 man dome jobby)?

Just remember to take some duct tape. Just in case..........................

Probably wont need your tent Chris is setting his big one up for us and ill do my snoring inside in comfort



OMG Al I am shell shocked, Yell if you need a hand and hope to see you in the morning
