HI! Im not gonna go back and read all your useless ramblings from the past 10 days... so in short: what ya been up to?

you all must be enjoying not having a gixer following you all around the country! I've been having a few short rides but not like when i was in auckland... sad thing is: might be leaving my bike in the naki and bringing my car up... have bought too much crap to be able to bring it all back on the gixer! haha

have a good christmas guys!

Day.1 Gave me fear of unpractical sidestand and not to kick start in downhill without front brake....

Day.2 Gave me blisters on right hand due to stiff as ancient door knob.
(photo will be uploaded soon lol)
Also she doesn't like city riding too...

Day.3 Gave me storms and wet draggin jeans and underpant just because she can't get cable lube from any hardware store...

This one is kinda epic one. At Gijoes was using cable lube to solve the stiffness of throttle and it was starting to become better. But I had to go so about 50% fixed throttle I left his place.
Next day went to ride for the search of Cable Lube to Super Cheap Auto in Mt. Wellington. They didn't have it so I just bought the 2stroke oil that Gijoe told me to get (have to be the same kind, otherwise she will be unhappy)
No rain and continued to Repco. Store persons had no clue what is the thing is so left the store.
On the way back to my place it started to rain badly and I was on the motorway.
I had rain gear but it was 10mins to my place so I just continued and the I got soaked....

Got back, get change and did lube the cable with WD40 then the rain stopped again.
Decided to go Bunnings warehouse thinking maybe they might have some then went to Botany but no luck there too...

I had my rain gear on but just as when I walk out from the store it started pissing again...

Gah she's like a little girl who couldn't get what she want during last minute Xmas shopping...

But it's great fun tho, owning Boy racers is great fun

How could you live without a bike! Just get someone else to bring up the stuff, or just post it up.

I got up early and rode around my pootling areas and so few cars I had the road to myself ... in the day ... 'twas amazing and I had fun!

But once done, back home to prepare for the season of excess and overeating!

But you are all filthy biker scum!

Yes I did notice you parked on the side sipping your soy-de-caff lattes

Anyway, you could have been pyschotic mass murderers for all I knew ... and I had to look after the Korean Mafia Princess with her Saffer Bodyguard!

Most excellent ... welcome to the Swarm ... remember to watch out you don't get the modding bug ... but it's too late, it's what Hornet owners do!

Spot you on a swarm!

Ok so in Xmas day she must have been in her happy mood so the weather was great but on the way to Xmas lunch I was trying to race against Audi RS4 or 6 at victoria park market light.

Accerelation was awsome in one second I had at least 2 car length advantage but when I try to change to 2nd gear some strange noise were heard and it doesnt go anymore...

Had to pull over in front of victoria park market and I try figure out whats wrong and had look around and found out the chain has came off!!!

I put it back but it's very loose so gotta do tightening again...

Ah, I waved to you guys from the back seat of Hornet

**gijoe1313** · 25th December 2008, 21:58

I dunno with you uni smc guys ... twice I lend Daisy out and both times members have dropped her! Heck, the clip-ons are bent and the tank scuffed, broken lever - which I had to replace!

(Dagnabbit PirateJafa, when ya gonna do right by her huh?

) ... she was never tidy as pristine new, but I always looked after her

And the chain coming off with them? I've ridden her for tens of thousands of klicks and voila, she gets the pip. That's Daisy for you, she loves to be ridden, but you got to know how to treat a girl!

She's tempestuous, impertinent, hard to control, changeable and fickle in her moods.

I think from now on, Daisy will not be lent out so I cannot get these poor poor things happening to her!

PirateJafa and Banzai ... guilty as charged!

Donor always has a disapproving cast to his eye when he hears I've lent her out to the hoi-polloi!
