Hiya all,
Been a while since I posted last. Been packing as I've sold the house and moving out next weekend to a rental for awhile till I build. Been so busy haven't been out on the bike for three weeks which is a record so managed to pull black beauty out of the garage and go for a spin on some of my favourite roads.
Man, it was awesome. Bumped into a young fellow called Rob on a 250 hornet. He had really good lines and could punt that thing along. Had a good chat with him and got on my way.
First time I ever saw a cop on the rpad from Kaiua to Mangatangi. Front brake got a good workout.
Man I loved being out on the bike. Gave it some herbs and had a ball. Then I got to thinking about my mate Gary. I used to ride with him a lot and shit I miss him heaps. Weird that he's gone, doesn't seem right.... I can't remember when I went on a group ride last and even when I rode with someone else. A good thing? Perhaps but I miss riding with other people, it's been a long long time since all the peeps I know on KB had a decent ride together.
Maybe it will never happen again seeing we have to be so careful about repurcussions and possible kickbacks from the law if all goes wrong.
I like riding and will always ride but I miss riding with all my old buddies and the groups we used to kick around the Coro with.
Things change I know but for the better? Dunno. It' s all different and so many are gone for good or have given up road riding. 53 in this coming week and I like to think I'll be riding when I'm an old bugger :)
Where to now? I'm up in the air. Things have changed a lot. Used to have 70+ peeps on a ride, now there's nothing. Maybe safer but a lot less fun for sure.
