    Tomorrow arvo is good for me now, if its not raining. BTW I have your clutch cable breathery thing in my car. Was over in Blenheim getting Pete to do some work on the Benelli piston and he gave it to me to drop off on the way home, but I forgot.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Tomm is looking pretty bleak as well - I wouldn't mind but I damage myself enough in the bloody dry- shall we see what it's like tomm & decide? Thanks for picking up the breather but not for forgetting to drop it off. I'll save up some gas money, get my passport & bribes ready & come over & pick it up sometime.

    Sad to see the 350 go Jatz. Are you riding ahem... properly yet?

    Now this guy I like. Big FO race car & a winning smile - NZ needs more of people like this

    define "properly"

    While I'm here... does any one have a functioning lathe ? I'd like to take a bit off the spacers in the 650 forks, just 15mm or so, it doesn't feel right

    What Pete said, but I have a lathe at home. if you wanna drop the spacers off at work I can do it for ya if ya want . You will have to drop em off Monday so i can do them monday night cos I got a funeral in chch on wednesday/thursday and then outta town on friday again.

    It's easier to make spacers to the new size and then when you find the new ones are too short, you can put the old ones back in.

    I've got plenty of high pressure hydro tubing to make some out of. What length are you after?

    With the amount of rain we've had, I think Sharlands would be a bit too dodgy today.
