Tauranga Rant and Rave

[one-speed]

[MotoGirl]

Personally, I thought the Drivers bar was a bit small for the size of our group. Comfort is important, especially if you're outdoors...

Fucking Karma....
Well, after everything looking to go smoothly for tomorrow, my fucking bike catches fire outside of dicksmith on 11th. Regulator rectifier is completly fucked now and the bike only runs for aslong as the charge in the battery lasts.

Didn't even get a chance to scrub in the new tyre. Mark and Rick will be laughing their asses off reading this, the shit I've given them while off thier bikes.

So for those that were gonna be riding up with me from Summit BP for the Westpac run, I wont be there. Wont even be able to ride till I get a new reg/rec and god only knows when that is gonna be.

Funny thing, pushing the bike along the causeway twords bay park (where I was when the battery went flat, just after the bridge then the uphill where it opens to two lanes) A guy on a BMW K100 going the other way turned around and came back to see what was up then went home to get his trailer and while waiting for him a guy on a silver and grey R1 (also going the other way) also came back to see what was up. But the 4 cruisers that went past heading the same way as me just road on past without so much as a wave.



But on a possitve note, the new tyre has a bit more profile to the tread so I don't have to worry about running off the edge of it as often.

Mate that is the worst luck didn't you just get that part replaced not that long ago?
Big thumbs up to the guys who did stop and offer help
So did that guy come back with the trailer?

Well looks like I might be going it alone tomorrow then - PM me some details on who we where going to meet in Kopu and ill go that way.

If I was at home I wouldn't be allowed to watch the footy, so work has its benefits.

At least yours gave you warning. Mine died without warning so I carried on riding and the @#$ng thing cut out at night in the gorge between Waihi and Paeroa. If your reg/rect gets too hot like my viffer one you might want to fit a small PC cooling fan or a big heatsink to the replacement. It's a piece of p!$$ to do. Seems to have stopped my new one melting.

Alternatively I've heard good things about these guys who make "better" replacement ones. http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/
