Shout out to balou

Post by mickkk »

For all the etec bashers out there, I had to get my broken arse Yamaha towed back to the ramp by balou, with his mighty etec.
As bad as it was being towed by his etec, it was a lot better than limping home with the electric motor flat out and about a 15 knot head wind. I only needed to go 4 kms, but would have taken about 2.5 hours if my batteries lasted.
I offered the usual Amber payment, but even refused this. So I though a little shout out was in order (and a fishing trip, but I reckon I will get more out of that than him)
Cheers mate.

Your welcome mate. You never know when you need help on the water . Just hope more people would stop and offer help.

Nice rig btw so get your motor sorted and you can take me on a run in it.

I hoping my etec blows up so I can buy a younger brother to my Suzi 175. bl..dy thing won't die and Mrs. won't let me buy one until it does. Maybe she has to go :D
