Brief return to maintenance. Looking at changing front sprocket and maybe need new front brake pads. Being new and doesn't look the best ride tomorrow, if ok will come along to see what the story is

Hey there welcome.

Come along and I'm sure someone will sort you out, friendly and very helpful crew. Just don't be afraid to jump up and ask for help. Otherwise we may just stand around and talk before heading to pub

Reminds me of this one time, in Wanaka. We we're doing a tour of the south island in the middle of summer. In Wanaka it was unbearably hot (esp. in leathers). We pulled up and I put my bike on it's sidestand and jumped off. The stand literally started sinking into the road and the bike started to topple over. Luckily I was still standing next to it so I dived under it. Hardly a scratch on it, but it was close!!

By the way, the guys at Pitlane fixed my puncture for $20 so no new tyre for me. Cheers guys
