Went there last Tuesday afternoon, it was open then. Finish work by 3pm and one of the other guys from work had his bike so went Halswell, Gebbies, Wheatsheaf and round the bays to Sumner. By Govenors Bay Transport there is new seal blooding real bad and me poor bike got covered in the shit. Good job I've got a black motor

Hopefully I'll be there next Wednesday night, may have all the tar off by then

Hi folks I've spoken to the Wheatsheaf and they will stay open if they know we are coming. What about a ride on the summit road, via port with the Wheatsheaf as destination?????? Please get back if interested

This is pretty much our standard ride. If noone can decide where to go, this is it. It takes less than an hour to get from A to B.

Good spots for regrouping:
1. In Sumner, just before Evans Pass
2. Just past Lyttleton. Theres a bay on the left after the tunnel roundabout
3. In Teddington, across the road from the Wheatsheaf

Should be there all going well.

Bikes broke... gearbox or something.
Unlikely to be back for a while.
In a word.... bugger!

U werent doing the dusty butt when that happened were you?

**Transalper** · 4th January 2009, 17:27

Yep, had about a 6 hour wait in the middle of the Rainbow while cooneyr and motoradical went for a trailer towing 4x4.
El scooto had a coolant leak when he stopped to see what I was doing so he parked up with me.
Lucky it happened next to the hut at the lake Sedgemore turn off so we were comfortable, if a little board.

That's a bugger, waiting for 6 hours not much fun.
Hope your not out for too long.

As some of you already know, my bike has thrown another little tantrum recently and has decided not to go anymore. I'm planning on taking it to a therapist (Duane's bikes and skis) when they open this coming Monday, but as it isn't going I'll need a bit of a hand getting there.

Thought I'd send out a general plea for help rather than pm anyone, so anyone who could give the bike a lift over to Waterloo Rd from my place in St Martins via trailer, van, or whatever please pm me!
Reward of cash or beer or whatever if the virtuous soul likes, though charity is by all means accepted

Better yet, if anyone knows if the shop has a transport option for lost causes like myself just let me know. That way we can forget this ever happened!

Have fun on Wednesday everyone, weather is looking fairly tip top. May turn up for BK on the scooter for those wanting a laugh....
