Well, 2300 and do you think i can sleep? Not a chance matey boy, just a big bundle of nerves, just spent an hour waxing everything leather -boots, gloves my new 2piece spidi power-ranger suit. Cleaned the visor too, sundays blat in the wirarapa made a dent in the local bug population (yeah right!) Black Betty (Betty for short) is just freshly serviced (cheers welly mcs) 45000fun filled ks under the belt, and about another 3k to go on over the next ten days.
Booked for the 0300 sailing on bluebridge, so its sun up and a clear road ahead to meet friends in Chch for coffee/breakfast/smoko/lunch, then out on Yaldhurst straight towards mu much loved Southern Alps. man I've missed seeing them. Timaru by evening to do the family catch up, been a while.. :hug: couple of days then the real fun begins, lap of the Island time.
Watch this space, ride report/gratuitous ranting to follow. hope to meet some Southern KBers along my travels, i guess im still a mainlander at heart :Pokey: cant wait for those stunning Southern roads. (hey Brent, cheers for all your help on this one mate, i owe ya!) :2thumbsup:
