americanism dawg. thought that shit would be right up your.... errr. alley.
Born to be mild
I have just completed a work project that we started scoping 26 months ago and it has just gone live today. Hooray. Now I may be able to sleep at night again!

Few nice IPA's at the Sprig and Fern tonight in Petone and won the Quiz Night. First time ever left a pub with more than I arrived with.
Reading NME and Commando comics paid off.
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

Be careful of that Sprig and Fern beer. It sneaks up on ya. Fortunately I live only a couple of minutes stagger away.Few nice IPA's at the Sprig and Fern tonight in Petone and won the Quiz Night. First time ever left a pub with more than I arrived with.

I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

...my little quiz team has won ours twice this season...no mean feat...it does feel good to take the bottles of wine and return the 150 buck cheque to the 'fundraising pot', whilst grinning at the nerd team that takes it out around 70% of the time...
Weekend cruiser
Last couple of weeks have been frustrating, with work and extra days biting into my bike maintenance time. One bike needed warrant and rego, the other had a serious swingarm problem so I took a day off today to make a start..
Took the suzi 600 in to VTNZ for a warrant, which a little bit to my surprise it flew through, and then slapped a rego on it, all legal beagle again whew.
Went home to make a start on the Big Bandit swingarm, which I had been advised by a couple mechanics would take them 6-8 hours $400 to $600 labour, bearings and bushes costing an arm and a leg too at $160. Being of part Scottish descent I decided rain or not, gravel driveway be damned, it was getting pulled out today and here is the part to be thankful for:
Upon inspection there was a hairline fracture in the tubular housing for the bearings, which obviouslt over many years had allowed water ingress, rusting all to hell and gone. It was a goner as far as a quick and dirty bearing job.
The good part is the potential cost of an arm and a leg was alleviated by Wayne at BikeBusters parcelling up a replacement swingarm with all good internals to bolt on for the princely sum of $90. So easy to do business with him I spent my last few dollars until payday (thanks VTNZ and LTSA)
Thankful I found the crack, thankful it wasn't already committed to a mechanic to do the work, and thankful Wayne at Bike Busters enjoys his job so much.
Cheerful that it will all be back on the road this weekend again. The 600 is fun, but I have missed the big bike.

Hummmm, what year bandy is she?
Nice to find real people out there and good on you for telling someone about him.

Its a Mk1 1996. 61K on odo. Picked it up a few weeks ago and knew steering head and swingarm needed attention when I inspected it. I missed the crack, so did the WOF tester, but to be fair last owner must have bought it like that, and its hidden on the side facing the engine so you cannot see it. Nuts around the suspension linkages were virgin never touched or marked by spanners or sockets, till today. Someone's been doing wheelies and stoppies by the condition of the notched head bearings when I pulled them out.
Another thing to be cheerful about was the glorious Kwaka 900 that pulled into VTNZ behind me. Needed a clean but absolutely original unmodified and lovely condition, even the paintwork. It was another highlight of my day chatting to that fellow, he allowed me to paw over it with a fine tooth comb, it was just as magnificent as I remember them.......
And if anyone hasn't heard about them, ......Bikebusters motorcycle wreckers, Ngaruawahia.

It's cardboard at best, Canada and North America have seen through it and done them big time, just real hard to get rresults here, back home. Well deserved it would be too.

What would be deserved would be making good the cost of replacing the product with the alternate of the owner's choice.
In most cases that'd be roughly the cost of a ground-up rebuild.
Plus damages.
And costs.
It's way more than they're worth, so why wouldn't you just tell the lawyers to stay home and divvy up the net worth of the company between the affected owners.
It's the sort of thing I expect the commerce commission to do, as opposed to fining that Orks builder for daring to import Gib at less than half the price Winstone Wallboards were selling their native product.
Arse backwards shit that is.

I'm cheerful because I'm back in New Zealand ...
But I'm not pleased that I still have to monitor this godforsaken place called Kiwi Biker. How depressingly boring, and nothing has changed.
