Good samaritans Kiwicowboy and Fjrider helped out with getting bike onto trailer and off to Kiwcowboys shed, cos he had tools. Dismantled bike to get plugs out wet and fouled up so cleaned and tried , no go. Stayed the night with Kiwi and his lady, with plugs on top of fireplace. No go, so off to Alex for new plugs. She started first attempt. Left 3pm on the monday to Cromwell. Faark it gets cold there. Tues off to Wanaka beaut weather, just sightseeing etc. Wed off to Haast 30km from Wanaka couldn't find a gear pull over and had lost all the drive chain components on the rear wheel . Found the two largest parts but unable to find the Jesus nut and one spacer. Back to Wanaka get recovery and storage . Now bitch on the back, overnighting at Haast heading up Westcoast. Faark its cold on the back without hotgrips. Now sailing sat. Still having great time tho. After all its only money. We are attempting to spend out way out of this recession.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH SHITand here i was thinking you were sorted

how mutch bad luck can one person have.
Good thing gobblin's got a onda

Harden up!

Another Monkey done, for me anyway. It's not over for Doc until he gets his bike home. Yes kiwi cowboy...really glad I have an old 'onda!

Was cool to catch up with Quenthany, Shrek, xknuts, Winston001 and FJRider and to meet the salty ole dog and the lovely Rosie, 98tls, and a couple of others whose names escape me atm. Had a blast at the rally with you lot! Watching Shrek jousting was a crack up. No one wanted to play after he rammed them into next week.

Have to say a huge thanks to kiwi cowboy and lovely Lisa for putting up with us for the night and feeding us. Really wanted to stay for the roast too. Also FJRider for kindly offering to help us out. He was last to leave the site.

Was an interesting trip home 2 up from Wanaka...and the bitch on the back never complained once!

Looking foward to the Do in December then the 30th Monkey.
