vtnz on tremaine, the kat sailed thru hers yesterday too, even the fijiian dude seems to have become human since my last wof.

Fijiian Indian chap? Must have had a bad day. Generally he's quite cheerfull. Certified m/c mechanic by all accounts.

There's a VTNZ in Malden Street too. Only do trucks on the weekend though.

this sat looking at test riding a couple of bikes in wangas .. but on the way there is halcombe, turakina valley road & on the way home its the fordell road (yes the crash corner) to hunterville & vinegar hill back home

plan to met at bp rangatiki st 9ish & head out 9.15 halcombe road out to marton & turakina valley road .. then to wangas & met sugi & head out towards para para or west wangas to get to some twistie bits to try the bikes on ..

then depends if ppl want to do food for lunch & fordell road out to hunterville & vinegar hill for the trip home ..

back to palmy to end with cafe stop at the usual haunt ..

[ynot slow]

Sounds cool bugger working,hope ya enjoy the test rides and weather is ok.

[yod]

yep...but i spoke too soon

indicator mount is sorted now....no more lopsided blinker on the right

but, dash light issues now...hoping to sort that tonight

oh the infinite wisdom of motorised vehicle manufacturers never cease to amaze and astound

my dash lights have blown

not sure why

Suzuki came up with a stroke of genius and designed the RF with TWO DIFFERENT SIZED BULBS

one is a ridiculously common dash bulb - two in the speedo, one in the temp gauge

the other isn't - two of these in the tacho

not a huge drama, they're being couriered overnight and they're only a few bucks each but wtf?? why in the name of all things logical and pragmatic would you use 2 different bulbs to do exactly the same job ??

busy heading north with cowboyz (probably) this weekend otherwise i'd definitely join you

sounds like a good ride and there's a machine in wangavegas i wanted to have a nosey at....

have a good one anyway...

[yod]

yeah...a bit annoying....it means the bike is still completely naked since the gauges are just about the first bit to go back on...everything else has to wait

no biggie really...tomorrow night it wil finally be back to its full glory, AND the indicator will no longer have that annoying droop

bring on the one-liners
