Chch Wednesday Maintenance Evenings

[phoenixgtr]

Well some of us still want to go to the Twisted Hop but others aren't keen so we seem to keep ending up at the Bealey Speights Ale House. Personally I'd like to try a few different places rather than go to the same pub every week

[laRIKin]

I think or thought that this week we were going to a fish and chip bar in town

I have forgotten the name of the place.

But WOFmans has jacked up cheaper meals and drinks for us as they want a regular group of people to turn up every week to fill in their quite night mid week.
And I think they have a room up stairs we can use.

CALLING WOFMAN, COME IN WOFMAN

Darn..

Cant make it tonight after all. Got to check out High school for my oldest.
Will look at popping in next week after training thou.

7.30 - 8 is usually about when everyone gives up and heads to the pub. In saying that last week it was 8.30, huh Shrek

& here's me thinking it was a maintenance evening

it may well be my last one for awhile as I'm heading sth to try out this new job

cheers to all

Ah good luck. It was nice to meet you before you go. Btw I like your nickname, it's very... fitting.

Thanks everyone for tonight, free food and all. It was very nice to finally meet some Chch Kiwi Bikers (about time!). Everyone's very cool!
Gosh I better get a bigger bike soon. Tonight's chat about this ride, that ride, here and there was very teasing.

Nice to meet you too EJ. What's the expected down-time before your bike gets back on the street again?

[phoenixgtr]

Well that was a busy evening helping McWild change his oil and his tyre.

Thanks to Wayne and his daughter for organising the fish n chip shop. That was pretty cool.

Nice to meet you too EJ

[KiwiPhoenix]

Good to meet you EJ! Glad you made it along.

Shrek, good luck with the job!

Great night last night, so many people, so many things being done! Was great to meet a few more faces as well.

Wonder what we'll be up too next week!?

We have the opportunity to hold basic maintenance evenings in a fully equiped workshop. We ran these for the first time last year and they we're well received. This is a good chance to learn a bit about the mechanics of bikes and the maintenance of them. If you have something specific that you need done on your bike, but don't want to tackle it yourself then bring it along. If you post up on here beforehand we can be prepared on the night.

These really are just an excuse for us to get together and have few beers (or bourbons), so we usually head to the pub afterwards.

Where: Gloucester Motor Company
Cnr Gloucester Street & Fitzgerald Avenue

When: From 6pm each Wednesday (we usually give up and head to the pub (either The Twisted Hop, Poplar Lane or the Speights Ale House, Bealey Ave) around 8pm).

A huge thanks to Wayne (Wofman) for letting us use his workshop for these!!

What a fantastic Idea - shame I am so far away.... (not that I have problems, but good learning time)

[EJK]

Nice to meet you too EJ. What's the expected down-time before your bike gets back on the street again?

prob around 2 to 3 weeks



2 to 3 years for a bigger bike maybe...

[McWild]

Cheers everyone for everything last night. All much appreciated. Cool to meet you EJ.

I wouldn't worry about that. There's plenty of roads around Chch than can be enjoyed on any bike...

[Mr Triple]

Yeah.. like the others said good to meet you last night EJK
Look forward to seeing you out there sometime

That place where we went after was very good.. didn't even know it existed. Have to get out into town more!!

See you all next week if not before..

Haha yea well I plan to tour around NZ sometime. Surely it'll be "challenge" on my current 125!
