Chch Weds Maintenance Evenings 2010

[bikee chick]

To all you WNRers who are interested, Flip and I are looking at running a ride on Saturdays, weather permitting. It will follow the tried and trusted WNR format.

We are looking at a 10am start, from BK Moorehouse, and pottering off somewhere for lunch in the WNR fashion.

All those who wish to join us will be very welcome, newer riders most welcome.


Any queries please phone me 366 5593.

See you Saturday. Garry

Oh that sounds wonderful, I am in when I can, always looking to do as much riding as i can on the weekend. let me know when you are starting these.

If you're keen to be on the Ducati again I don't mind riding it and you can pillion.

I'm such a good friend that all you'll have to pay is petrol.

How about that!

...and I thought I only had one teenage boy that could get away with that spiel???

[Peeteey]

If we don't see you on Saturday Pete we will stop outside your place and have a mass revup as your wakeup call!!!!

You know what Garry, that'd be a nice way to wake up
Maybe that's a good plan. If you think you'd be coming this way I could join you from here.
Or you could all stop in for a coffee ...

I was going to offer my services if the Ducati needed some 'exercise' too, but at least I'd have the decency to pay for my own gas

Great idea!
Wouldn't it be better to do this at say 1PM~ though?
That way:

-The roads have warmed up and are ice-free going forward.
-People get to sleep in after their Friday night / Week at work.
-Those working morning shifts on Saturdays (aka. People that work at bike shops!) would be able to join.
-People don't have to have lunch out!

Sorry to butt-in!

Ja, I agree, would suit me better and that's the most important thing!

Got the engine out of the Kat on Wednesday night. A huge thanks to all who helped (with advice and lifting). I couldnt have done it without your help

So what's really happening - 10am, 10:30, 1pm?... Just trying to work out if I can get the oil leak fixed by 10 or not... Peetey, if you want a ride you can always come help sort out all those electronics bits...!

Max

[Flip]

1000 at BK for a 1030 depature.

GP and myself wanted to do this ride with lunch some where nice, just for social reasons.

Going to Akaroa might try the fish and chips there on the beach.

Ah, I completely forgot. Yep, would love to! What sort of time are you thinking? I'll try to be awake early enough to at least go say g'day to the Sat morning riders then, once they go, come help out.
My home number is on my profile page, my cell doesn't work out here but is fine once I'm in town. Maybe give me a yell just before 9.30 and we'll take it from there. I'll check back here before I go just in case.

Coolio,

Pete

I'll probably not join as:
A) It's probably too early for me for a big ride
B) I went for a great ride out that way with Transalper today
and C) I'll be helping Max with electronic bits, unless he wants to go for a ride too in which case I may join you all if I get a good nights sleep.
Am still wound up after gig ...

Thanks for the invite however.

-Sam.

Has anybody done fiberglass and resin fixes on their bike before? Someone I know is letting me use their supplies but I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Should I buy sandpaper and primer or something as well?

[maxf]

Should I buy sandpaper and primer or something as well?

I'd guess yes on the sandpaper and probably some disposable gloves too! Primer - probably afterwards, get a disposable dust mask or two as well (goggles probably good too for later sanding stages - all assumes you're sanding back the FG to paint, but maybe not if it's all hidden?)

Also - haven't done any FG but would guess it's like normal body-bog when it comes down to it - it's a glue, if you put glue over an unstable/weak layer (the paint!) with nothing to "key" to then eventually they'll separate. Would also guess that epoxy on some plastics will never be strong; you might be up for checking if wiring (drill holes & recessing channels into **outside** of the panel, spanning the crack, so you can run wires to lace-up the crack - tight on the dressy side, so they can go in under the bog/filler, loose on the back so the epoxy can have something to set around) ... all depends on the panel in question!! (And you could end up making it too strong and getting stress elsewhere, who knows).

Might have some generic info on it, are you along on Weds?
