Tauranga Rant and Rave

**DingDong** · 29th August 2006, 17:13

My bike's in good shape... I only dropped it after I bounced off the car and only minor scratches to the pipe (not the can), broke the mirror (but Ive already fixed it), undar the blinker (you cant see it) and the bent clutch lever that can stay bent... I'm ready and rearing to go... but I still need a new rear tyre... it's all cracked up (cooked it, another reasonable excuse I can use

)

My ankle is alot better today... so where we going?

Glad you're OK. You're meant to use the front brake BTW

Sounds like it could be a good one this week. Hopefully see you all there.

Bloody woman, offering your services again without my permission! Time for some discipline me thinks

I was using the front break and trailing the rear, the rear came up under breaks and skipped then went out as I leaned... I let it go but the v2's engine breaking sent the rear out for some more... all over rover.

I't may have devine intervention or just blind luck but considering the event I dont think the outcome could have been better

The lever on the left operates the clutch BTW.

Ok, I'm just baiting :-) Seriously, glad you're OK and the damage aint too bad. We all make %uckups and the ones you can hobble away from can be put down to experience.
