Leak? More like a torrent! I'll have you know that was 21L used from BP Autobahn Papakura to Ramarama/Ararimu/Mangatawhiri/Mangatangi, then back to BP Bombay via SH2.

(all because some muppet reassembling the carbs at dusk after they'd been stripped to clean the water out didn't notice he'd pinched the o-ring on the #4 float bowl, but we'll keep that little bit of embarrassing information nice and quiet...)

At least you are still here to talk about it , it was bit scary( first time for me) to see petrol going over engine and evaporating as it goes on muffler .How dangers was that rile and how close was petrol to ignite. Thinking back I will not ride bike like that (muppet)

That was definitely their last run! A nice little ride............although the sprinkler spraying on the road was a trap for young players! Imagine the pile up if that happened on that OTHER thursday night ride!

Ahh poopers missed out on this week, started riding around 7pm so I rode most of the routes around to see if I can see you guys!

Did Kaiaua, out to Mercer, through the hunuas, down around the back of SH22, scooted through the hunuas again and back down the gorge! Only saw 1 biker and 2 more at the end of the gorge at night!

Still, any excuse for a ride I say!

Sounds like you guys had fun!
