Well, we did not expect a bright sunny day. Everyone must be still out taking advantage of the rainless day. Went for a ride today. AK - Papakura - Clevedon - Miranda - Pokeno - Tuakau - Pukekohe (some cars were using the track) - Auckland Kart Club for a looksee. XCLent.

NOW :beer:

I so wanted to ride today. :argh:

I'm still trying to beat this awful flu. As I've been missing work I didn't feel right about going riding today but I almost did!:D

I sure hope it lasts.:cool:

Another brilliant Auckland day. Almost made up for the dismal week.
Did a Ride Right course at Whenuapai today. By lunchtime I was drenched in sweat. Don't know whether it was the hot sun or fear of being made to look a fool. The emergency braking exercise was fun, though!:p

As long as the Sundays are like today, you can almost put up with the crap weekly weather.

Went on the WIMA linen run then out to Clevedon - Maraitai - Kumeu . All good stuff apart from almost headon-ing a car when I forgot to double check before pulling out to pass and EEK! .....And in front of KiwiDan as well :o:o No emergency braking - but amazing how fast you can pull back into your lane when you have to!

Was a fantastic day out there for sure, couldn't get my ass out of bed to do the linen run but had the chance to swap bikes with my mate and had a blat on a Moto Guzzi YEHA I like it, wouldn't go trading in the gixxer but was great for a change!! :D

It certainly would have been cheaper if I'd gone out for a ride yesterday! :eek:

I was just contemplating getting into my leathers & heading towards Tauranga & the Coromandel when the phone rung. 'Twas Mum wondering if I wanted to go shopping & have a coffee.




4 hours later ....... :gob:



But I've got Wednesday & Thursday off this week, and last nights weather forecast looked promising. :D

When I win Lotto. :gob:

Or in about 3 years (ie after debts paid off & IoM 2004 attended) sigh

And if I had enough money to upgrade my bike, I'd probably be taking a T595 or 995 out for a test ride first. :D
