Anyone else had a great weekend?

[3L4NS1R]

So. Went for a pootle on Saturday morning. Got back just in time to receive a text from a girl who's gn250 won't start. Get to her place and had it running in 15 minutes (fouled spark plug + drained battery). That night we go to a 1920's themed birthday party, fast forward few hours later and I'm walking down Ponsonby Rd with her on my back, when who do we bump into? Psycho ex from yesteryear who gave me grief beyond belief whilst dating.

Grief repaid? I hope so.

Woke up on Sunday with only vague ideas as to what part of Auckland I was in, until I spotted the GN outside.

Now I just have to find A) my wallet, and B) my cell phone, and I don't think the weekend could have gone any better.

Anyone else have a good weekend? Stories required.

[naphazoline]

Yeah....Mine was F@#king GREAT!

I had to work.:crybaby:

[MIXONE]

My weekend improved outta sight when my mother-in-law and sister-in-law flew back home on Sunday avo!

[Devil]

Unfortunately I was freezing my tits off in wellington, but at least they have bike shops and cinemas so I got to enjoy Terminator 4 at the Embassy and find a new toy. Although I called the dealer this morning and some fucker has already put a holding deposit on it. I can only pray he can't find the rest of the money!

FYI, the 883 Sportster in the window of Motorad is alarmed. Even if the salesman says go sit on it, dont until he's already retreived the keys from the back of the shop. DAMHIK.

I had a good weekend. My sister called on Friday to say she had been admitted to Waikato Hospital due to complications resulting from her pregnancy. (That is the not-good part.)

The good news is she normally lives north of Kaitaia (Houhora) and just happened to be visiting Mum in Hamilton when it all happened, so I hopped on the Volty and rode straight down there (the journey would have taken at least twice as long if she had been in Kaitaia hospital).

So then I took over caring for her 9 month old baby while she was having tests & being medicated. That was good because
a) I felt useful and was glad I could help and
b) I got to spend quality time with my nephew.

It was also a good excuuse for a big (for a Volty) ride on a sunny day.

On Saturday I rode home and had a nice hot shower and a nap, and when I woke up I discovered my partner had lubed & adjusted Volty's chain and checked her oil, just in case I need to rush off again. What a sweetie! :hug:

On Sunday it was my bro-in-law's birthday party. He & my partner went off for a ride in the morning while I helped set up surprises in the house - like a big poster of Valentino Rossi winning the MotoGP... with a photo of bro-in-law's helmet glued on over Rossi's. :2thumbsup

Then we spent the evening watching a slideshow of all B-I-L's motorcycle adventures over the past 35 years, including pics of all his bikes and stories from his riding buddies about their (mis)adventures. Inevitably there were photos of my partner as a skinny teenager with an appalling haircut and disasterous bell-bottom jeans. There's nothing more fun than laughing at someone else's fashion disasters!

So yes, I had a good weekend. Thanks for asking.

I got engaged.

Congrats!

But you can't just leave it at that - we need the STORY! :banana:

What did you say?
What did she say?
Where were you?
Did you get down on one knee?
Did you give her a ring? (If so, we will also need pics...)

So many questions! :calm:

Thank you.

I said "Will you marry me?"
She said "yes"
I was right next to her.
Yes I did.
Why ring someone who's right next to you?

Typical bloke answer. :oi-grr:

[peasea]

Typical bloke answer. :oi-grr:

I could say "typical girlie questions" but I'm too polite. (I'm a real catch ya know! :yes:)

We were up in the hills, cloudless night with a practically full moon, bottle of French bubbly, venison on the barbie, outdoor bubble bath etc. We were facing east, so we saw the moon come up over the horizon, twaz brilliant.

We're looking at rings together, no point in getting something you have to take back and change eh?

Did quite a bit of riding which was good, although I wish I had more layers on!

Late Sunday night drove past a cop parked on the side of the road.
I don't usually speed, but sometimes get excited and go a few 10's of km/h over the limit...

The cop flashed his blue and reds on, I slowed down to 50 immediately, Cop didn't chase me down :2thumbsup

I actually have nothing but good things to say about the Police. This is about the fifth/sixth time I've been warned by them without receiving a ticket. I guess the secret is to slow down immediately, if they pull you over say sorry right away etc.

I decided to take the fun bus up the local mountain to check out the ski fields,I wasn't sure how far up we'd get in a rear wheel drive bus but the road was nice and clear.... until we reached the car park.

We journeyed on over hard packed snow in a small line of traffic and all was going well till the fella in front decided he'd had enough and stopped dead. That was me buggered lost all my momentum and all my traction, twas like a fat bastard on ice, 234 point turn later and I've cleared the road but got stuck in a great stuckiness.

I got out to assess the situation like an adult and to get away from the shrieking Bride who was convinced we were all going to die, when I noticed a tiny asian guy laughing at me, or my situation, not sure which.

I hadn't yet reached Mr angry stage so I just ignored him until he said "you want push?" I kindly accepted his offer even though he only weighed about 30kgs and mounted the bus once more. The Bride's still in (don't panic Mr Mainwering ) mode but she calmed a little when I explained that that tiny gentleman over there (oh fuck, he's gone) was going to push a 2 tonne bus backwards uphill in the snow for us.

I was just about to mouth the words ,where the fugg has he gone, when he re appeared from behind a small clump of grass...and so did his little mate and his little mate and on and on, they just kept coming. I lost count at thirteen but the bride reckoned there were nearly twenty, hardly any of them taller than the front bumper. an ocean of tiny hands covered every available space on the front of the bus and backwards uphill in the snow we went,sweet as, me the bride and the bloody great bus.

I thanked them all profusely and they all waved and smiled in a (haven't got a clue what your saying) kind of way and we sheepishly headed out of the car park and off down the mountain.

I have no idea where my little Asian buddies came from nor where they have gone too but between them and the humorous stranded Hungarians we gave a lift to on the way down (paying it forward) we had a great and exciting day out this weekend, thanks for asking :lol:

I knew as soon as I submitted that post that someone would say something like that, but I thought "I won't edit it, see what comes up" and you're the first. Have a beer mate!

:lol: There is no way a man of your word twisting abilities could write that post and not realise the potential in it for word mischief and the fact that you left it rather than edited it out could only mean you were waiting for such a response.

In other words, I wrote that exact response because I knew you would be expecting it and I knew you would acknowledge that you were expecting it, how facking weirdly wonderful is that?

Have a beer back me old mate,I've fair spooked meself out now.

He's a pom you'll have to buy em.:girlfight:

Grrrrrrrrr :lol:


,not sure about East Egmont.

Nah it is a bit of an ugly sister compared to the other two innit, which is a shame cause it's just up the road from me but hey, what a wonderful playground right on my doorstep.

P.s. we've just bought an old 4x4 to prevent any such future embarrassment;)
