    The job is pretty good, but ive only actually been AT work for 6 days in the last 3 weeks. Ive had this whole week off work sick, went into work twice this week but they told me to go home. I feel really bad for having so much time off work when ive just started the job. Here's hoping that I get sick pay!!!

    It broke off at the toe bit with the rubber on it, I thought I'd try drilling a hole through the lever then replacing the broken bit with a bolt, put the rubber sleeve over it and locktite it into the hole, then grind down the head of the bolt so it doesn't destroy my boot. Sound a little pie in the sky?

    Yup! Thats the plan. Use a bolt with a longer threaded portion and put a nut each side of the lever and tighten it up against each other. make sure you have clearance inside so it does not foul on the frame etc.

    Use a bit of rubber hose or some rubber tape to soften the thing up.

    Good luck (and chuck a spare bolt / nut in ya pocket just in case)

    Easier to take the lever off first - less chance of slipping and sending the drill through a case...

    Meeting up with Elle33f at Rimutex at 9.45 if anyone else is coming from that way.

    Their plan is to leave the Sandbar at 11am and as I don't know anyone, didn't want to get there TOO early! LOL
    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

    Sure. Some of us from the Kapiti Coast Coast are coming down to the Sandbar Pub at Mana earlier to beat the rush at the sign up. Then we can have a coffee and watch everyone arrive. Look for a big dark blue Triumph Tiger with a topbox that has a KB sticker on the seat side. I will be wearing a light grey jacket, I will see if I can find a KB sticker to put on it. Come and join us -Sphinx, Jude, elle, anybody!

    I will be there earlyish too. What time you planning to get there Sels? Im planning around 9.15-9.30am. I will be taking a pillion for the 1st time on this bike. My 10 yr old daughter promised her I would taker her on the next Toy run I went on.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Hi guys oh no just saw your replies!!! I spoke at 8am to another KB member as I thought we catch up and drive together to the KB meeting point but he said its a bit of a faster riding and probably not the best first convoy ride for a learner
    No I am angry with myself that I didnt give it a go. BUGGER!
    Oh well I hope you guys have a great ride and I def come tomorrow to the castle point ride
    Who else is coming tomorrow as we are having a great weather
    you all take care and hopefully see you tomorrow!!
    Would love to catch up will all of you folks
