16:44:00 <Glenn> Trying to stay out of trouble.
16:44:00 <scooter> just wanted to let you know bethy is orgainizing a get together in geelong on the 15th if you're interested
16:45:00 <scooter> said i'd let you know if i saw ya
16:45:00 <Glenn> That's a Monday!!!!!
16:45:00 <scooter> not sure of all the details but i think it's pub lunch russel morris is playing
16:45:00 <scooter> sure they said 15th
16:46:00 <scooter> hrmmm maybe they got their long w/e's
16:46:00 <scooter> mixed up
16:46:00 <Glenn> According to my calendar, that's definityely a monday.
16:46:00 <scooter> agreed
16:46:00 <scooter> and i think something in the evening as well
16:47:00 <scooter> i was thinking of riding down if the qweather is good
16:47:00 <scooter> anyways if you're intered ping bethy or dolphina
16:47:00 <Glenn> I'd probably do the same... though not much chance of a balmy warm late Autumn day at that time of year!
16:47:00 <scooter> yeppers
16:48:00 <scooter> been upto anything interesting?
16:49:00 <Glenn> Finished rebuild a second hovercraft... repaired a friend's Yamaha 250 scooter (1997 model)
16:49:00 <scooter> cool
16:49:00 <scooter> my wife might be interested in getting a scoot
16:49:00 <scooter> that's really scarey
16:50:00 <scooter> and the 15 y/old is thinking next year he can get his L's and a scoot/bike would make him more independant that a car
16:50:00 <scooter> lucky he doesn't have the money to buy one
16:50:00 <Glenn> There's definitely no comparison between the Yamaha and the Burgamn
16:50:00 <scooter> oi wash your mouth
16:51:00 <scooter> i still have the maj
16:51:00 <scooter> but i wouldn;t mind something bigger
16:51:00 <Glenn> ...ah huh... :)
16:51:00 <scooter> fuoco 500cc mpp3 looks interesting
16:52:00 <scooter> and there are 3 or 4 new 800cc+ scoots being introduced in the next 12 months
16:52:00 <Glenn> Yeah... looks too complicated though...
16:52:00 <scooter> but the fuoco has gotta be the hummer of scoots
16:53:00 <Glenn> The Burgman is fine... but was thinking of fitting the fleecy lined apron to it.
16:53:00 <scooter> to keep your bum warm?
16:54:00 <Glenn> The legs and feets...
16:55:00 <scooter> ever thought of gluing some ugg boots to the scoot
16:56:00 <Glenn> No... the apron is waterprrof too!
16:56:00 <scooter> :) snow boots then
16:57:00 <Glenn> Just a pain to fit 'cos the mirrors have to be removed first... :(
16:58:00 <scooter> mate of mine is riding back from nth qld on his berger at the moment
16:58:00 <scooter> his 2nd trip up there this year
16:59:00 <Glenn> Not bad... must liek his Burger...
16:59:00 <scooter> sure does
16:59:00 <scooter> wore his maj 250 out at 60k a last year
17:00:00 <Glenn> eeerrrrkkk... my Maj in China has 48k on it...
17:01:00 <scooter> in one year?
17:01:00 <Glenn> ...and is on its third clutch, second top end (piston, cylinder, head, rings etc)
17:01:00 <Glenn> Two years
17:01:00 <scooter> yikes
17:02:00 <Glenn> I have the engine serviced every 1,000k's... the transmission every 3,000.
17:03:00 <scooter> and it still fell apart
17:03:00 <Glenn> That's what kept it going that long!!!!!!
17:03:00 <scooter> yikes
17:03:00 <scooter> i better take mine in for it's 10k service
17:04:00 <Glenn> The engine was badly set up from day #1, and there's no warranty over there for motorcycles. Once you leave, you pay for any further problems. I wasn't to know that there were head problems, that the scoot had been paqcked in a box for three years...
17:05:00 <scooter> good olde china
17:05:00 <Glenn> I have the Burgman serviced every 6,000
17:06:00 <scooter> the dealer tells me i should do it at every 6k but the owners manual says every 10k
17:09:00 <Glenn> I had a fluid leak in the radiator of the Burgamn a few weeks ago... as near as the radiator place could tell, when it was last serviced by the local Suzuki dealer (two services ago and I don't go there any more 'cos the mechanics have too many leftovers!), some numbnuts poked a long bladed screwdriver through the core from the REAR of the radiator when trying to undo the top hose!
17:09:00 <scooter> good one
17:10:00 <Glenn> Was an all day job, armed with the service manual to dismantle the whole front of the Burgman to get the radiator out... get it repaired and put the friginition back together again.
17:12:00 <Glenn> Have to go... I'll catch up with Bethy about the details for the meet. Take care!!!!!!!
