AMI insured?

I don't know, are you?

Today, I nearly fell asleep at work.

Today, after a terrible night's sleep, I nearly fell asleep when I got up in the morning for work. Work and coffee has kept me awake.

[Spork]

So, I decided to start riding into work from now on, and today after work I decided to go for a trial ride to see how long it will take me to ride.

I made it half way down my drive way and the chain slipped about ten times.

(USHFIUPSHF

God damn it.

[Pyromanik]

tighten it you crazy fool.

Move your rear wheel further back in it's sockets. Make sure it's aligned central (as central as it can be, slipping is a sign of age, age means it's probably buckled as shit).

Also make sure your front derailier isn't misaligned. If it's too far to the out or inside it'll guide the chain straight off the crank. Two screws on the top? side (they're all a bit different IIRC) of it will adjust the travel either side. Make sure there's no slack in the cable first though.

You could also adjust the rear derailier, but it's less likely at fault.

And for fucks sakes... oil everything! (And make sure the cables aren't frazzled, and your brakes are good)

makes it easier not to take teh car into the city these days. Now they have the onehunga train station, it only takes 15 mins to get in to town! win~

[Menial]

I caught that train today for the first time.

I caught that train today for the first time.

Is this one of those clever Menial euphemisms?

Today, I nearly fell asleep at work.

I've been doing that a lot lately :| No energy at all for like the past two weeks.

[Nyan]

FOREVER ALONE

[Spork]

@Pyro, yea well I had heard before that derailers can be a problem, so I had a loot at the rear one, but after a few pokes I concluded that I had no idea wtf I was doing.

I'll wake up early tomorrow, give my dad a call and hopefully learn something from him while he fixes it.

EDIT: But yea, my chain is a bit (read; very) rusty, so I think that may be my main culprit.

weird thing is, my dad took my bike about 3 months ago to this place where he has friends who fix up bikes.

Yet it is exactly the same as it was before.. =I

[Who_ate_my_rice]

lol what would have happened, is that your dad and his friend would have started to talk. had such a good time that they forgot about your bike

[Spork]

They had my bike for about two months. >.>

[Who_ate_my_rice]

ouchies.

tyre pressure.. check
handle bars.. check
seat.. check
chain.. she'll be right mate
bell.. check

[Spork]

Handle bars are a bit questionable, the grips are fucked.

Seat could do with replacing, but I'm a real man, so I can bear with that.

[420fairy]

Wait till you see how they go with us before signing up with them. They been good so far, but cheque writing time is fast approaching

Yeah will do then :>

to be fair they do have far more pressing things to do down here atm



like build woohoos house

Yeah and that's fine but it can't really be that hard just to take the quote I had done and apply it to me, let me start giving them money etc.

Hahaha they told me to fuck off when I mentioned the gtb

me too babe only company happy to take my money is NAC

http://www.nac.co.nz/

[Codex]

Yeah I already have a quote with nac, was curious to see if they would take me now that I have my full so I could keep it under one payment and policy

With nac it's 90 a month for full cover up to 8k

[Growler]

That's what you get with buying a GTB, as much as I wanted one, it was just easier to get a outback.

[Growler]

I REALLY wanted to get a Volvo 850 T5-r but was goona cost to much insurance

[Codex]

At least it's not like the UK lol

I was expecting higher for the gtb so im not too worried, 1k excess though, which is less then my current car LOL

For my 92 rolla glx it's 1500 excess

[Growler]
