Christchurch maintenance evening(s)

[KingJackaL]

You'll just have to go for a ride instead

Got my Across back yesterday after over a month out of action, so I did a couple hours last night and another couple hours tonight. Couldn't resist .

Fuel economy's about doubled back to where it should be (17-18 km/L), and performance is a whole lot better in the low and mid range. Top speed's even up about 10-15 km/h, not that I'd know .

See you all next week!

[Mr Triple]

I'm on evening shift again Wayne!!!

Hey on that note, what time do the activities actually start? I went a few weeks ago and nothing much got underway until about 7:30 I think. Not complaining - just easier for me to work out what I'm doing if I know when people are showing up as compared to when people are starting work on a bike. Every second week I'm available to come, but I teach in the evening after work until about 7pm on that 2nd week wednesday.

Picking up the bike in an hour.. Whooo hooo.. 3 weeks without the v4 is like a kick in the nuts.

Sorry guys, I wont be there this week.

I blame work.

Does anyone know of a 9-5 job that pays a decent wage (ie above minimum wage)? I really want a new job at the moment.

[The Lone Rider]

There are about 4 jobs going at my place, but it aint 9 to 5

And... quite a bit better than minimal wage.

So long as I have Saturday off to go to archery I'll be happy.

What are the hours, whats the job?

[stevewederell]

Is this still at the GMC at 332 Gloucester St? 6pm?

I don't have any skills to add but keen for some help or tips with my chain and brake pads. Otherwise I'll just try to absorb to the other info...

Some work on Saturdays, but it's usually training stuff and weekend work is either x1.5 pay or x2 pay

Depending on what job you apply for, you could be either on a rotating shift going from 7am til 3pm one week and rotating to 3pm til 11pm next week - rotates every week. That would be as a process technician - what I do.

I believe there will also be a job in the stock yard as a logistics/forklift operator

And a tooling technician job going shortly

Tooling tech you work to get the machinery ready and together, process tech you work with machinery to get it to produce to specification, logistics/fork you work on schedule for in and out products and production materials.

This bit sounds fun, is it a challenging job with bugger all down time during the day? Im used to working on my feet for 9 hours at a time with 30 minutes to sit down, the rest is about 40% stress and 70% hard sweaty farking work.

[The Lone Rider]

Depends on the day and your experience level.

[The Lone Rider]

I'm bringing along some custom grips to have fitted, if anyone wants to assist/teach me to do it.

Not sure if they will fit - my other bike took standard harley grips but without the harley sleeve and the grips I had on it had a sleeve that was slip in. The grips I have for the v4 have the cable points (sleeve) as part of the actual grip.

I will bring along anyway. Should make it as I have taken the day off work
