Freck It!!!

I'm going for a ride too now!

Won't make BB's ride though, It's 9.50 and I ain't kitted up yet. I might go a play around the inlet & Paekak hill road.

Watch out on the inlet. Jonny Snake has been patrolling Paramatta Rd lately.

Oh how envious I am! I was working all day blimmin painting toxic stinky paint onto a drydocked boat.
But I parked my Apocalypse bike nearby on the footpath and people were stopping all day and going WOW and suchlike. Heh, I'm such a showoff.

Straight to the twin bridges then back to the top for coffee, met Honda CBR [Doug] he wasn't aware of the kiwibiker site so gave him a heads up.

The neck nut....


Did 80km over the Rimutaka Hill and back this morning, the neck nut proved very very satisfactory. On the V-Strom I have a pretty upright riding position and the helmet sat nice on top of the neck nut collar giving plenty of support and a reasonably relaxed, not much muscle tension in the neck. Could actually feel the comfort with slight head tilt back and side to side, when you can then notice the support provided.

Heads Up and Enjoy
