Thought I had fixed my puncture ("nail" looked like part of a bicycle spoke). Got away about 7:30 at a fair clip. The repair lasted until about 2 kms after Millers road exit, then things went wobbly. Hauled up, tyre was soft and hot. Some bikes stopped after a bit and turns out they had joined up with WNR at the Wheatsheaf. Think sammcj was one of them. If so thanks mate and pass on my thanks to the other two. I owe you some CO2 bottles. Anyway, another repair and slow trip back to Halswell for air and home....

After 5 or 6 months with next to no riding - bloody hell I was rusty, didn't get into the bends nearly enough, oh well, I'm sure it'll come right with a bit of daily riding.

Twas' bloody windy and some of those roads we're pretty munted.
I turned back just before Akaroa hoping to miss those dark clouds... which never actually amounted to anything

No worries! - Glad to hear you got home alright, hopefully the shop can repair the bugger (properly)!

Good to see you last night, have to say though, I was drooling over your bike!

I'm in need of a part for my Zeal, are there any wreckers in Chch I can go to, or are they all up North these days?

Chur

I used these guys about 10 years ago. Back when I was hooning around on a Kawasaki GA2A.

I may be wrong, but I think these guys no longer exist?

**Gibbo89** · 20th January 2011, 17:28

I saw a Zeal being wrecked on TM, I'll ask that fella first.

Nice to meet you, I was the fella with the ratty BMW you parked next to in the car park.

Nice to see you again Sam! I'd go mad if I took time off riding.

Having said that, I am amazed I lasted 15 years with no riding, bloody hell it's nice being back on a bike good and proper ...
