    I was so pissed off - coming around the corner as the first guy, swerving around the car and then just thinking "Nothing I can do to let the others know what they're coming up to!" Glad to see that everyone managed to get out of that ok!

    And yeah, the Watershed is not exactly cheap(it is nice though). We might wanna have a look around for a cheaper bar.

    Glad you all made it around the idiot! There always seems to be some plonker in the wrong place around those hills.


    The Sandbar in Ferrymead on ferry rd /settlers cres corner will be cheaper than the Watershed. Car park off settlers - It has nice food there too!

    Not a worry - you only asked for that one I wasn't trying to be pedantic...

    That's worth keeping in mind.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Me I always cruise. Mind you last piece was up and coming. Yep the bar was a bit stiff. Over the road might be the answer.

    Glad to hear you guys had a great ride last night.

    I was unfortunatly working and couldnt make it anyway.

    As for myself and my Katana we wont be doing any more Wednesday night rides untill my Stator coil is fixed.

    It shat its pants between Omaru and Invercargill and as such my battery is not charging and I can only run the headlight for about 30 minutes before I get stranded (as I unfortunaly found out in Queenstown )

    Such is life though. If anyone knows anyone that is fimilar with a GSX750 engine that can point me in the right direction to getting it fixed please let me know (the stator is shorting to earth).

    Cheers Guys.

    Yes it lasted the trip... and no I didn't glue it in place!

    But rest assured, single cylinder bikes doing what they do best (vibrate a lot), it's bound to shake itself loose again at some point. Ah well!

    Yes I was told that "cruizy" left at Haswell (JWalker adn Tacoman may have had something to do with that!)

    Upon asking Phoenix what sort of speed he was doing the reply was "I didnt look"..... not a good sign!

    Oh well, will be along next week just to be the anchor in the group!

    The windings should be standard between the Kat and a std 750 so obtaining a set should be easy, try the bloke on Tuam street. If you are handy with a spanner then you will have no worries fitting it, if not well one of us will be able to help you out
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Sweet.

    I was going to check out KN Engineering as last time that was where I got a coil from for my old GS250. I had a manual for the GS though.

    With the GSX750, the manual I have skips right over the Stator coil and only says that its on the left side of the motor. Hence why I asked if anyone had any experience with one before.

    Id rather avoid the bloke on Tuam street. I havnt delt with him before but only because Ive only heard that he's a bit of a rip off merchant (were talking about Japanese motorcycle spares here arnt we?)

    Otherwise I'll just have to ride the pushie around at night. Wouldnt keep up with you guys though on a Wednesday night.

    Worth a try he was able to provide me a spring I needed once, it does not matter where it comes from if you can get one.

    As I said should be the same as a GSX one about the same years perhaps that manual if you can get references from that.

    Yeah but as to a rip off well I just paid $300 for a speedo for my old beast from Auckland yet it would have cost me about half if he had one at the time .
