  1. Army Training Area Ride

    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ure-Ride/page8

    Words can't really describe it...the pictures and videos kind of can...but you really had to be there. Awesome weekend with good company. Pushing bikes and people to the limit...well in a low key, adventure bike kinda way. But fair to say it tested some of us, myself included, both in riding skills, stamina and decision making. Videos to follow.

    Since I didn't have the little sticker in my hand at that point I had the sarcastic conversation in my head...

  3. Raaaagggge!!

    Well normally I get on pretty well with other motorists. Actually pausing for a second I do actually have a very low threshold for fuckwits and idiots...so that might explain my reactions.

    I was trundling along heading out to Wellingtown aeroport this morning and was heading along Aotea Quay, through the lights, down by BP and Te Papa with a car in front of me and cars behind, left and right of me.

    Now we all know how when the adrenalin kicks in time slows down and ...

  5. Home Sweet Home

    Well, it sure is good to be back. I got a final bit of work out of the way on the bike (with the help of my two boys who were just as keen to start it up as I was...

    Bit of an anti climax though as the battery was pretty tuckered before I parked it up for two months, so was totally tuckered when I went to start it...boys thought it was pretty to jump start off the Surf though.

    So here's a couple of pics from my ride up Altimarlock (Awatere Valley, Marlborough) two hour ...

  6. So why do I need to blog?

    I guess I'll find out soon enough, so like a few things I've done in life, I'll charge right in and see where it gets me...not that I'm expecting it to get me anywhere. Kinda like a dear diary I s'pose...mixed with a loudhailer...to anybody willing to listen. Kinda queer I reckon.

    Been stuck in Oz for the last 6 weeks in Puckapunyal, about an hour and a half north of Melbourne. Army course. I won't bore you with all the details but suffice to say I'm hanging out to get home to the ...
