Bad luck once again! However nice photo there.

Shit, I had no idea, feel for ya Rob. I am going to the AA site right now as my subscription is due.....overdue!
Hope things work out for you and the yellow monster really owes you big time! Post the diagnosis won't you when it is received, and a look at the bill too....

(kiddin)

Best of luck. I remember the story you were telling me the night before too of your Gentle Annie excursion.....

Geez, talk about a bad run mate...

He's one of the few people I can think of who doesn't deserve any bad luck, at all, ever.

...and my, how I laughed when you called me last night

(twice)

One word bro....BUELL!!!!!!!!

None of this fancy pants, computer controlled, anti-lock braking, systems diagnostic, auto-arse scrubbing...just turn it on and GO!!

P.S. Will it be fixed by the time the Cold Kiwi rolls around, or do I need to order that pillion kit?

**Taz** · 27th July 2009, 18:55

You do know I had a trailer and tie downs at clints don't ya??

**Pumba** · 27th July 2009, 19:16

I know its wrong Rob but that gave me the best laugh I have had all day.

Shit mate I hope its not the same as last time and you are back on the road quick start.

From what all are hypothesising (fuck, that's a big word after a bottle of vino) The fix will be quick, once they get the really expensive part. (a German super computer.)

Still, the ride was good eh!!!?????

I can't help but be a bit skeptical, a buell with no mechanical problems?

But seriously, good to hear that the AA guy looked after you Rob, it's a bit hit-and-miss with them if they don't 'get' motorcycles. Have you been able to diagnose Max's illness yet?

**xgnr** · 27th July 2009, 19:44

you are giving Beemers a bad name...See you at the Cold Kiwi :-)

**Squiggles** · 27th July 2009, 19:53

What about a used "super computer"?

**EJK** · 27th July 2009, 20:05

BMW = Bummer! More Walking!!

**Bladeslapper109** · 27th July 2009, 20:41

I would be extremely pissed off at the AA for not sending someone straight away... I would rip their balls off for not using common sense and knowing you where in the middle of no where with no reception. surely after the third call straight to answer phone you would realize and your mate having to ring for you to explain the situation...

Fuck! 9 hrs on the side of the road! You poor bastard. If I had'a known that was going to happen I would have sent John off with a few sandwiches as well as that moro bar & can of V. Double bummer that we had 2 vehicles with trailers back at my place & could have easily mounted our own rescue mission. I guess one lesson is that when calling the AA to rescue someone out in the wops, demand a call back to confirm that they have actually despatched someone.

Personally I gave up on the AA after I had twice fixed my own vehicle on the side of the road before the breakdown contractor arrived on the scene.

Best of luck with the repair, fingers crossed it's something cheap.

Cheers
Clint

I would quite happily have come and picked you up and brought you back to Auckland.... Still all sorted now and you got to spend a quiet afternoon in the countryside
