Phaaarrk, and how I spent my Sunday

[Eddieb]

Sunday I went for a little Tiki-tour and tried out a few different modes of transport.

First it was a view of Wellington from above in a pencil with wings.
While up there I spotted a Shipwreck in a river
And lots of Vineyards

When I got out of the scary pencil with wings I had lunch with some fellow kb'ers

[Eddieb]

After lunch I took in some sights around the area, before taking in a lovely smooth sailing back across the water.

[warewolf]

Geez what a dodgy-looking couple of KBers :Pokey:

Nice folks though :apint:

[glegge]

cool, what river? that looks like something to explore..

[Padmei]

Geez what a dodgy-looking couple of KBers :Pokey:

Nice folks though :apint:

No they're not



Well shes ok cos shes got a good bike.

[Eddieb]

cool, what river? that looks like something to explore..

No idea, you'll have to ask one of the yokels from down that way. Somewhere roughly between Blenheim and the coast.

[Eddieb]

She's Dodgy

In between those 2 events I managed to prise the keys to this out of Mrs Jatz's fingers, though it took a crow bar and a fair bit of persuasion.

It goes like Phaaarrrrkkk!!!!!!!

And the smile says it all, she really didn't want to let me have it.

is that your new toy or Mrs Jatz's new toy?

[Eddieb]

is that your new toy or Mrs Jatz's new toy?

If I told you it was mine would you hate me?

[marks]

If I told you it was mine would you hate me?

no more than I already do

[Woody2]

cool, what river? that looks like something to explore..

Opawa river, runs right up to the centre of Blenheim. Rather shallow - I took my little flat bottomed speed boat up and down it a couple of years ago. Comes out at the Wairau bar.I'm pretty sure the wreck only has walking access to it, walked it years ago, goes right past the sewage ponds :shit:

[junkmanjoe]

SO mr eddieb.

you went to the south island in a pencil with wings...meet up with to fellow KBrs for lunch..then walked back to the floaty thing and came home......

Wow mrs jatz new bike is sweet..was nice of you to go down and have a look at it, she looks so happy...:clap:
its lucky she is tall to see over that high screen.
hope i can ride with her one day..

be no good for you, your a short arse.


JMJ

[Eddieb]

Yep, it's tall all right.

Big thanks to Jatz and especially Mrs Jatz who rode it the most, for picking it up and delivering it to Picton for me.

I hadn't told Jatz was he was collecting, I'm told his chin almost hit the floor when he saw it. I think he was a happy boy too.

[junkmanjoe]

cool so you got a new toy as well...now maybe some one can keep up with me now..

looks good eddie...
when we going to play..:niceone:

JMJ

[dino3310]

that black is super :cool:coool eddie, better looking than the other ones :shake:

[tinlizzie]

i was wondering how long it was going to take to see some pictures.

going for a ride this evening?

[JATZ]

its lucky she is tall to see over that high screen.
hope i can ride with her one day..

be no good for you, your a short arse.


JMJ

You should try it..... reeealy works and seemed to keep the rain offish too, I only found it annoying on a couple of real tight corners coming back from Kaiterie with MrsJatz on the back

She only rode it more "cause the Trumpy doesn't agree with her. Wrong ergonomics ! and shes a :baby:

Neither did I, would've been nice to ride it on some gravel, ah well just have to get my own for that.
She's still grinning :rolleyes: even after I tried to get rid of it on the way home

Cheers bro! My buyers cash should be in my account overnight tonite, so I will probably be trying to sort a bike for pick up this weekend as I'm not on kiddie duty (although i should be Xmas shopping... yuk!).

[cooneyr]

Ah so the penny drops. Saw the Jatz's heading back into two up on the Trumpy on Sunday (least I think it was Sunday) at Atawhai heading back into town. Then this morning I get a request for a KTM 950 tail plate for a BMW rider and when I politely enquire as to why as BMW rider wants a KTM 950 tail plate I get a "that would be telling..."

Well done Eddie!!! You managed to stop smiling yet :msn-wink:

Cheers R

[Woodman]

Nice Eddie.

jatz and mrs jatz you coulda passed it round the nelson guys so we could see if it was suited to eddie. We wouldn't have minded, honest.

[JATZ]

Nice Eddie.

jatz and mrs jatz you coulda passed it round the nelson guys so we could see if it was suited to eddie. We wouldn't have minded, honest.

It was tempting :devil2:....... Topo, Nordie and Padmei all live pretty close to our route to Picton on Sunday, but it was top secret,(Padmei prolly heard it go past his place) hell I didn't even know what I was picking up till the guy in Westport opened his garage door on Saturday, could've been a purple 50cc ghey scooter

is that the best you can come up with?

BTW I have them posters in me office, spose i should stick one on the window.

Nice lookin' bike, Eddie!

[Padmei]

Good stuff Eddie
You still keeping the kak coloured ooops mean the Desert Corps brown GS? Wouldn't they fight if you left them alone together in the garage?

[Aslan]

Now I understand why you were keen to pass on those BMWOR magazines so quickly :clap: Enjoy your new mount - I'm envious of all of you Katoom owners

[BMWST?]

Bike transporter has been in touch today; looks like the black beastie will be headed north to her new home very shortly! :bye:

Now what to buy next?????
:ride:

red white PD?

[Eddieb]

She only rode it more "cause the Trumpy doesn't agree with her. Wrong ergonomics ! and shes a :baby:

......She's still grinning :rolleyes: even after I tried to get rid of it on the way home


That was just her excuse to ride it more, and you bought it.

[bart]

Nice one Eddie. Looks good in black.

One of you guys will have to give me a ride on one of these KTM things so I can see what all the fuss is about. :devil2:

[junkmanjoe]

Ummmmm.......eddie can..:msn-wink:
let bart take your bike through the makiro mate..

JMJ

[Eddieb]

You'd need a full sized ladder not just the step ladder. It's taller than a tall thing and dwarfs the PD.

gonna sell the pd?

[marks]

fuck off
its hard enough keeping you even remotely in sight on your blandmobile

if you get on one of those things we'll only ever see you at the start of a ride.

[BMWST?]

or the next fuel stop

[James Deuce]

Does this mean I can borrow the PD for the Capital Coast then?

[JATZ]

Nah.... you'll catch im @ the first corner, picking himself up out of the ditch :D

[LBD]

Was going to compliment you on your choice of bevies but on closer inspection with the top of a second bottle showing, I dont think thats a Speights Old Dark in the glass....looks a little pale....

You had fun however...

[marks]

Nah.... you'll catch im @ the first corner, picking himself up out of the ditch :D

so, after riding the beast for a bit, what did you and Mrs Jatz think?

Would you own one - or do you have more character than that?

Don't spare Eddies feelings

[Padmei]

Any of you guys notice that Eddie's a bit reticent about the PD?

I wonder if he's feeling guilty about swapping codes...

[NordieBoy]

if you get on one of those things we'll only ever see you at the start of a ride.

Jatz is on to it :D

You'll catch up at the ditches/culverts.

[Waihou Thumper]

Any of you guys notice that Eddie's a bit reticent about the PD?

I wonder if he's feeling guilty about swapping codes...

He has the perfect commutor, the perfect Quasi Off Road machine and probably a new set of step ladders to get on the KTM...
Oh, he can use the PD to ride to the saddle of the Katoom...:) :woohoo:

[bart]

Nah.... you'll catch im @ the first corner, picking himself up out of the ditch :D

Haha. It'd take a bit to drag out of a ditch too. And a wee bit much plastic for my riding style. :pinch:

[JATZ]

so, after riding the beast for a bit, what did you and Mrs Jatz think?

Would you own one - or do you have more character than that?

Don't spare Eddies feelings

In a heartbeat...... but......it would have to be black.
I'd still like to try a Tiger and a GS before I make up my mind,(any body want 1 delivered ? free of charge in the S.I.) but I think the KTM would take some beating.
Could do with more fuel range, but thats been covered elsewhere and it's not really an issue in N.Z.
Not tiring to ride and it inspired confidence, very smooth too.

[James Deuce]

And a little boy waits.

[Dakar]

Jeez im of KB for a couple of days, and everyone goes off and gets new bikes!!
i want one now:angry2:...........

nah nice one Eddie

[Ally67]

so, after riding the beast for a bit, what did you and Mrs Jatz think?

Would you own one - or do you have more character than that?

Don't spare Eddies feelings

Very nice to ride,buuuuut I don't think I would own one (well not yet anyway)
I hope Eddie enjoys his new toy very much.:2thumbsup
