Wellington Rideouts - Where next?

You will find that the fuel injected GS mirrors have a clever sacrificial connector (clamp) between the handbar fitting and stem. Unless you broke the glass, this is the bit that needs replacing, not the entire mirroe assembly. I used to keep a spare connector in my tool kit!

Michael,

Thanks for the heads up on this - we live and learn. Unfortunately I also smashed the plastic housing behind the actual mirror ( if you are going to something you may as well do it proper, I was always told!!!!)

I just picked up a cheapo replacement - have not had a chance to see if it will fit yet. Will look out for a proper GS replacement in due course.

Tuesday is always easiest for me

[Eddieb]

So the 6th or 13th?

The 20th is my next xray and hopefully getting the cast off, I may not be much good for anything that night.

6th sounds good to me
but I should be able to do either

Either.

The 13th would be better from a notice perspective, & we would then have done the WAR ride & can fill you in on who misbehaved.

Righto, that sounds like a good reason for the 13th for me.

So, Welly Adventure riders, beer at mine on the 13th of December. All adventure riders welcome. If you don't know the address pm me.

Usual format is we all chip in for some pizzas and drink a few beers while everyone tells lies about why their make/ model of bike is better than everyone else's, though you are allowed to eat first and just turn up for the drinking and lying.

Speaking of eating, I wasn't blown away by the Hell pizza last time.

13th it is then

BTW when I talk about how superior the KLR is - I'm not lying

Hows that coolant fan going?

[Woodman]

At least is thas one.

Hows that coolant fan going?

actual it was a loose water pump impeller
and I suspect I didn't tighten the securing bolt up tight enough when I pulled the side cover off the engine about 25k km ago

so its a little unfair to blame the bike

the only other breakdown was caused by the original owner not fitting an exhaust plug properly so both breakdowns in 36k km were owner caused - not bike

Yadda yadda yadda.

So what you're really trying to say is, that if you looked after your bike as meticuliously as Bart looks after his DR, you'd never break down.
