Finsihed night shift this morning,only to be told I could stay on overtime to do a computer course(Wow how exciting-.NOT)

A quick look out the window lovely blue sky, :sunny: don't know were all this rain is, So do I ride or do I sit down with some geek and try and learn about computers :bash: on OT rates ?, thats easy RIDE.


So home feed the dog, and back on the bike few txs, found only one other keen to ride, so while he does a bit of work, I do the Ramarama, Ararimu, Hunua, Clevedon, Kawakawa, Miranda and back to Maretai, contact me mate, and arrange to meet at Autobahn.

Being a bit late in the day we do 22 down to Naragwhia, quick coffee, and back along SHW 1, off at Rangariri over the bridge and up the glen murray back to 22, quick blat back to puke , at pukekawa we get the first rain of the day, two mins later thats over, into Pukekohe and split up..

Only incidents of the day, some mad fuc#*% bird decided to fly into the front of my bike at a great rate of knots, minor damage to bike, stop at the gagage to wash stomach contents(the birds)off bike and away again, One less bird flying around Ramarama.

And half way around the ride I rememeber that I was supposed to take Mrs F/F out to dinner, in my hurry to ride forgot to book restaraunt, shit 'haven't got the number, no problem ring my second home the local bike shop, being used to odd requests, they are only to happy to ring and book a table for 2 , what great service !!

Thanks for your company Paco. a :sunny: great day, thanks to the met service for fuc#@^% up the forecast, we had a great day.

Broke plastic screw thingy, on screen thing, dented plastic fairing whatsit, will come right with a bit of heat I hope, good thing mirrors are flexable, was more concerned with acid in stomach contents eating away at the paint.So washed off asap.

Yep, I've missed a few big birds by a feet or two at 200kmph+ at least once before. :shit:

Don't want to think about a sheep strolling accross my path!

yep- perfect day! :niceone: Dave!

Roads were good- except for a portion which is being resealed- Ran into a few raindrops- didn't last long! otherwise enjoyable!

Yeah just saw this thing bounce off Dave- wasn't sure if it hit the visor or his shoulder- and went for a six! It landed in the bush on the other side of the road! left half its feathers where Dave hit it. man that could have been a roast tonight... Next time!

Catch up on the next mate! :2thumbsup

BTW- definitely need earplugs! not much wind noise but exhaust was a little too loud...

Paco man, did you get a race pipe?

Oh and FF hasn't heard of a thing called sleeping. He's too fit for that!

Try 012's next - not a bad tyre. Or go one better and get Rennsports or SuperCorsas

Why is that Dan ?, remember I am only an average rider, Is there likely to be any advantage to me with those tyres ?as I putt putt around the country side.

012 has been superceeded already by the 014.

seems Bridgestone just can't make up their minds. Any sports compound tyre is more than adequate for the majority of road riders.

Unless you ride like Jimbo or Cycosis :2thumbsup Those boys are stars!

Thank you DeanOh, you are the first to bite, given the amount of selfprofessed computer geeks on this site, I am suprised that my computer has not already been invaded with colds or flus or whatever it is that you guys send to Fu#% other peoples computers.
