Not since January or December or something.
Been a bit busy up and down the countryside.

Make sure you turn the auto-pilot off so you don`t trundle off down the Motorway - again...

Going to miss the people tracks and racing, but not the travel. We all get a rest for a while now. Of course you could arrange something for Edgecumbe in July or August, loved that little track last time we were there and it's grippy enough, with hot pools just up the road so the weather doesn't really matter.

Yeah, grumpy fucker he was. We won't be going there again. Pools at Awakeri is just one big communal sucker, with, I think a no booze policy. Conveniently the camp ground the pool is in has a more liberal attitude for the rest of the facility, the cabins aren't bad either.

Pub in Whakatane does a decent steak meal as well.

Who gets the job of beating Ken into organising this?

And then the rain stayed away until beer o'clock.
The threat of crap weather seemed to have an influence on the numbers though. Quietest meeting I can remember.
Next round 11 and 12 May.

Awesome day at the track. Son's bike running sweet and Gary doin' OK on Dave's bike with my motor. The brakes were working OK with the new pads evidently and the new shock, complete with WP sticker, was getting better and better. We only got a very light misty rain for only a few minutes. Not enough to even think about wets. Hope the girls are still talking to each other.
