Might pull it out this afternoon and take it in to SKF.

Prob leave 9ishish if that is a vague enough bit of info.

Carry on

Would love to go, one problem, I have a sick DRZ. Sent off for a new Stator off flee bay, it is just a waiting game from here

Ot available for patriarch either.

Pretty much all the swingarm and suspension bearings are shot dammit.

No riding for me tomorrow

However I will be installing new sprockets and a chain on the DR

Hopefully meeting up with EddieB in Picton Sunday evening for a tank swap...

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to change your hand bag?

Just sing out if you want the rest of B/Bad, I'll chuck it on a stick and drop it off

and I might even leave the book that was in my bag last night which I forgot to leave behind

doesn't matter how big your TV is, none of those hills look nearly as steep as they really are on Nordies vids...

Going to head over to Pelorus for an ice cream later.

**NordieBoy** · 11th February 2013, 07:46

Didn't make it to Pelorus.

Cruised the road to the dam (20mins as opposed to 50min the other day) and played on the side tracks to the Maungatapu summit, clearing branches and trimming stuff on the way.

Quite a lot of good sized loose rocks on the surface to keep you on your toes.

All the side tracks on the way up are easily navigable.

Was just entering the Corkscrew on the way back down when Padders and 2 mates rode past, so I had to turn around and go back up again. Rude not to really.

A good ride. Nice and cruisy.
