I'm helping out at AMPS open day and want to have a burn on the super dukie - but not in the wet aye!

On that note... being a complete an utter novice, I went in there yesterday and Lou spent more than a little time explaining the various attributes of different types of gear. Extremely patient dude! I sort of figured a lot of these places would look at you and think "damn... another L-oser". I was pretty glad to be proven wrong!

Anyway, that's an awesome sale!!! I walked away with $950 worth of gear for $580. :banana: $650 Teknic Sprint jacket down to $410, and $300 Teknic Sprint pants down to $180.

Hmm... Now to get the bike :ride:

:shit: With prices like that, I might have to pop in tomorrow, and see if there is anything I want (wait, I meant to say afford... want would make a millionaire bankrupt)

The correct answer - no chance of it blowing over. It half past ten and persisting down.

Weather forecast for ChCh is rain, drizzel and rain, and the sun is out, the sky is bright etc etc

NZ weather forecasts are crap - period. Thankfully.

As I recall last year's AMPS open day was a bit damp, too. Might need to change the date, Lou, for a time when the weather's a bit more settled. Like September. Er... no. How about November...? Or December, perhaps...
Or...

But I hope that didn't stop some of you guys........ a bike like the duke must be super stable on the motorways so I hope you'll all enjoyed it.
