Merry Christmas Ellen and Andi!
Did you know Santa rides a KTM too?

Merry Christmas you Kiwi's.

Two Moto Kiwis · 12-24-2012, 09:26 PM

Thanks guys

Merry Christmas to you all.

Already been and gone in New Zealand .... now it is our turn.

Christmas day for me will be praying to the KTM doing a Voltage Reg relocation, tank etc back on and a little extra work we didn't count on.

Anyway, all the best to you fullas, fullesses and families.

Love to all

Andi & Ellen

Hey you two,
A very safe, happy and enjoyable Christmas to you both.

I sure hope Maya stomps up to the challenge and provides you with trouble free riding for the rest of your trip into 2013. You certainly deserve it, and after a good clean I am sure she will look beautiful.
Stonking hot here in Wanaka with 30ºC and moderate westerlies but all in all a beautiful day.

32 deg in Nelson...

Just terrible.

Pity half the forest is closed 'cause of the fire danger

35.2 degrees in Alexandra yesterday, and Wanaka wasn't far behind. Enjoy that cooler northern hemisphere christmas.

Have a great christmas both of you.

Well, I will come clean.

Maya arrived with a guts ache and covered in shit, we started her up when we picked her up to find a bad rattle, I took her straight to Zen motorcycle, we ended up having the waterpump replaced and other work.

I contacted the previous owner the moment we startred her up, I have emailed him and phoned him and he has gone to ground, he left us with a big bill and some pretty bad taste in our mouth as the ad was advertising something substantially better than what we received

Nice guy!!!

Why are you cleaning out a sewer system? Does the bike come with an on the go toilet?

dryden_rider_54 · 12-29-2012, 08:06 PM

Wow that sucks. If not for bad luck........
Hopefully it will now turn around for you

Do you feel it will be a trusted steed once the current problems are dealt with?

You would think so wouldn't you, I wanted to keep it below the deck and deal with the previous owner but he will not respond to any emails of phone calls.

Not going to be too long before I hang the dirty laundry out on him.

Sent with bad waterpump, fooked shitty oil, stuffed oil filter and shit all through the motor .... bit disappointing really.

Yeah feel a bit robbed, selling a few more goodies off her JUST to pay for repairs to bring her back up to standard.

The rear CJ Designs tank was leaking fuel from a crack too, no mention of that in the sales pitch

Trust ... not there yet, the battery appears to be half poked as well, another $180.00!!!!!

So please feel free to visit the Flea market so I can turn the cool parts into normal necessary replacements of fooked stuff!!!!

Bike wasn't such a great buy and I am starting to regret it, days of repairs and blowing extra money wasn't in the scheme of things.

Cal · 12-29-2012, 08:36 PM

If the seller was a Advrider..... post his name up here for all to see, that is just plain Bull shit!!

Can you use an AGM battery? they are very good and can be had for less than 80.00
