Its good to see Stroud in the hunt this year.
My vote is for him one great guy.

Big shame KiwiBiker isn't a "club" -- we could have got ourselves nominated and cleaned up an award...

Perhaps it should be.

What a start to the week. My partners cage packs it in for the last time (she managed to cross town and coast up our street with NO clutch), i thought that was a bummer.

Then, i find out i missed out on Road Rider of the Year, and my Bike isn't nominated for Bike of the Year? You gotta be fricken joking. I taught that Stroud fella everything he knows. And that Anstey joker was a bit of a no hoper till i pointed out the flaws in his style.

What'll it be next? George Bush not nominated for President of the Year? Get real....
