Had a bit of an oopsies this morning. The "Bush mechanics" got me going again, but I'm feeling a bit sore and sorry for myself. Good news is the bike isn't too bad! Handlebar, gear shift lever and a few minor scratches that should buff out. Hope the rest of the ride went well.

The heated grips were on all day long.
Title: Re: Belated Weekend Coffee Ride and Afternoon Tea, NSW Post by: Betty on May 18, 2013, 11:50:34 PM Sorry to hear of your little incident Wayne.
Important thing is you walked away (always good to have some help in times like this too) ... even better you could still ride ... and a bit of bruising is enough to remind you of consequences. Hope you (and the bike) heal quickly. Glad the rest of you had a good day too. Title: Re: Belated Weekend Coffee Ride and Afternoon Tea, NSW Post by: WayneR on May 19, 2013, 03:54:59 AM and a bit of bruising is enough to remind you of consequences. Sure does. Not to mention the ribbing I'm getting from mates who have suggested I need some training wheels...not sure which hurts more. ;) Title: Re: Belated Weekend Coffee Ride and Afternoon Tea, NSW Post by: rendang on May 20, 2013, 01:22:25 AM Any pics Rob ?

Quote The red on that bike with the black stripe looks a bit off. [clap]Yes the Tangerine does make the red without the black stripe look kind of ordinary, even slightly dull one could say. Then if I actually washed it, WOW ! Lookout. Title: Re: Belated Weekend Coffee Ride and Afternoon Tea, NSW Post by: FIFO on May 21, 2013, 04:18:59 AM Any pics Rob ?

Ride Day was Sunday the 19th. Saturday the 18th, my phone rings. "Brian, is that you ? Rob here, just popping over to MCAS for a few things, thought i'd call in and see what you are up to there" Enter Wobbart that day, leaving him alone in my garage while I go and make coffee........ BIG mistake....... Sunday morning my bike won't start, blat fattery........! charger was connected but "someone" has disconnected the extension lead from the charger. I wonder who that could have been.......? No naming names of course [roll] (http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac55/braando54/018-2-1.jpg) Title: Re: Belated Weekend Coffee Ride and Afternoon Tea, NSW Post by: Wells on May 21, 2013, 11:13:18 PM Sunday morning my bike won't start, blat fattery........! charger was connected but "someone" has disconnected the extension lead from the charger. Ride Bike. No need for charger.
