Post by: Williamson on October 31, 2020, 10:18:45 AM

Which bike?

No bike!

Busted bike?  Know how you feel, had my ST in bits (doing some minor maintenance), felt a bit despondent with COVID restrictions, bit the bullet a coupla weekends back, slowly got it back together, new tyres yesterday, and now she's ride ready.

Anyways, for a ride, lunch and a ride we have:
Of course, this is all predicated on COVID retrictions being relaxed.  So may be subject to change, or cancellation at Dan's noticed.
 
Also, don't know there'll be a cap on numbers at venue, may not know that for a week or so, but we'll deal with that if / when needed.

Glad you got your bike sorted, Michael...  :thumbs

Wish I could say the same...

Only just got around to fitting the airhorn that I bought early this year and doing a few other jobs like swapping out parking lights for led's.

In the process now of swapping the trickle charging plug to the other side of the bike which has created more stuffing around than I anticipated.

Thinking also that I should replace the coolant while I've got the fairing off but not overly confident about doing that myself.

Then there's the brake pads that I ordered the other day which I probably should install...  :fp

Then I'll have to work out what bolts and fasteners are what after accidently stepping back on the plastic container they were sorted in and sending them flying across the floor...  :fp :||||

Soooo....not overly confident I'll have all that done before the RTE, especially at the speed I do things... :whistle

Some more feedback from our hosts at the Five Flags Hotel they are okay for 70 outside and 30 inside.  Unless there are some pretty significant changes to COVID restrictions, this one is a goer.

Well, it's looking less & less likely for Sue & I to be putting in an appearance, assuming this RTE goes ahead...

Sue's been flat out doing driving lessons and with the current demand she's been working Saturdays...and of course she's booked lessons on the 14th.  :||||

Maybe I can escape on my own???  :think1

If Sue is working, you'll be lonely at home, the cure is to take the car for a long run.

Then again, if it's bucketing down rain I might have to drag out my car...it's barely been used during Covid!  :fp

If anyone else is interested, Im planning to meet Martin at BP Calder Park (outbound) around 9:00am, have a coffee, a chin wag, and head off around 9:30am (that'll make sure that we are on the road by 10:00am).  The above route is just under two hours, so we should be at the Five Flags on time.

Post a reply, or just be there (on time) if you wanna join us.

Need to keep 'em on their toes.   If I say 10:00am, some people take it as 10:30am, and then we have to ride via the Freeway, rather the scenic route, (mostly) B and C roads.

At 10 confirmed ST's, this might be the biggest group of ST's since Port Sorell.

If Nigel, Rusty and Garry all show on ST's, an even better outcome.

I'm on track to go....assuming everything works once the mighty ST is back together!
Gave it an oil change earlier today so that's about it as far as maintenance goes... :think1

I'm now in the process of fitting the fairing back in place and working out what bolt/screw/fastener goes where after spreading them all across the floor the other day.

Hopefully I don't have too many bits left over when I finish!  :whistle

Oh, I even managed a bit of fishing today... :grin

I dropped one of the side cover bolts and, Murphy's Kev's Law kicked in and sent the bolt bouncing across the driveway and down through the steel grate covering the stormwater drain which is in the middle of our driveway.
Using a torch, I could just make out the bolt laying in the water around 4ft below. :cuss
After much swearing I found some fishing line and a magnet and, low and behold, I managed to snare the bolt first attempt!

Maybe my luck is changing...I'd better go buy a tattslotto ticket!  :runyay

Mmmm ... I have the opposite problem, ie. I'm short a few bits and pieces after resassembling the ST and re-fitting the fairings.  A coupla (or more) plastic push rivets have given up after a few times of being removed and replaced.  I currently have a few lengths of black cable ties strategically inserted, tightened and trimmed holding some bits in place - until replacement push rivets arrive.  I've been waiting for a few weeks now, a couple more want matter, but if you bring any leftovers, it'd be helpful.

This is a bit embarassing Russ, so don't tell anyone.

It's okay though, they were sitting on the bench... :||||

Geez, I just might nearly finish tonight, fingers crossed...and LOOK, it's gonna be sunny tomorrow...Test ride coming up, me thinks!  :runyay

I'm short a few bits and pieces after resassembling the ST and re-fitting the fairings.  A coupla (or more) plastic push rivets have given up after a few times of being removed and replaced.  I currently have a few lengths of black cable ties strategically inserted, tightened and trimmed holding some bits in place - until replacement push rivets arrive.  I've been waiting for a few weeks now, a couple more want matter, but if you bring any leftovers, it'd be helpful.

This is a bit embarassing Russ, so don't tell anyone.

I also ran into similar problems on few car repairs. Try your local Auto store, they are available in various sizes. :Christmas_smilie1:

Which ones are you in need of, Michael?
The chunky ones with a knob or the thin ones with the pin?

Latest list of attendees (and bikes):

At 12 confirmed ST's, this might will be the biggest group of ST's since Port Sorell.  Can any State challenge that?

No, didn't miss it, just didn't want to take any push rivets away from anyone's bike.  I have some on order, and the cable ties will do for now.

Thanks Kev, but wadabout Campbells Creek, and Ballarat - if you go that way.  At least a coupla reasons to avoid Ballarat, it's always snowing there, and you might get lost - again.

Only a couple of days away now, any extras decided to come to lunch?
(Just in case I need to grab some more strawberry jam) :grin

No extras, just some dropping out, see below.

Oh yeah, a jar of strawberry jam for Helen & me, and if there's any leftover, it'd be a shame to return it to Portland.

See ya all Saturdee.

If anyone else is interested, Im planning to meet Martin, Doug & maybe Luke at BP Calder Park (outbound) around 9:30am, have a coffee, a chin wag, and head off around 10:00am. 

... head off at 10:00am ...

Yep.  Just on a 2 hour ride via this route, which should get us to Campbells Creek in time for lunch.

If you're there early, booking is in my name.

Bit far to go pick them, Kev!
To be honest there's plenty closer...South Gippsland in fact...lol.

That reminds me, I ended up in the middle of some when my old Suzuki TS185 & I failed to make it up a steep hill and I couldn't stop it sliding backwards.   :rofl
