w00t. have ceffy. in brissy. can drive places.

fuck you mr bus driver man for your shitty service and unreliable times. fuck you public transport. fuck you by my middel finger.

id just like to say, i fell very very very lucky

i broke my front brake lever (at speed) when a car pulled out in front of me

i dodged the car by crossing into the on coming lane (with no brake of course)

then had to nail it to get back into my lane in time so i didnt hit an on coming car

then i had to brake again cause i was going very very fast by now and with no front brake i only had the rear (on the bike of course)

i nailed it and down geared when i hit a patch of gravel left in the middle of the road to which the bike started to go low side

some how i managed to pull her back up with a bit of throttle flicking rocks everywhere and then slowlly pull the bike up to a stop at a red light

so now i am faced with having to ride the rest of the way home with just the rear brake (which is ok as i can just take it easy)

and i ride nice and casual and slow home giving heaps of distance from the cars in front, guess what

the cars in front of me have a pile up do to a run away dog and I had so much space i could come to a halt easily

if i were to be riding as per usuall that might have been a close call..

someone was watching over me :bunny:

thats one way to look at it

i ordered the part that failed, the little bolt that goes through the handle and hold the lever on...

bloody $11

what a rip off for a little bolt... :down:

It's a rip off til the $5 bolt you bought instead breaks.

:)

yeah i was not going to accept second hand or even a bolt that fits...

i wanted genuine kawasaki parts, as this is one of the most important parts on he entire bike...

$11 is not much, thats like 3 chai latte's :ermm:

just called the bike shop, damn part is still not there yet... I wanta go for a ride damn it... :D

ps. hey nice shrek/kung fu panda Dan

damn you, why taunt me like that :)
Haha sorry, couldn't resist :D

Nah I feel your pain, I was without my bike for a while (a long while...) and every time I saw one ride past I'd get that "damn you..." feeling lol

im getting my bike license sick of getting the bus into the city every day
Yeah it rocks. I save a stack of time getting to work each day I ride in, if nothing else being able to use the T3 lane (Lutwyche Rd) helps a lot! And there's always parking spots :D
