I have to clean the filth off my bike before I can go anywhere. The Maungaraki interchange is going to be brilliant when it is done, but I may have to send the contractors a bill for cleaning products and depreciation.

Managed to get a bit of a ride in yesterday lol went down to my local shop and scoffed a few free sausies, checked out the sale they had for the day (some good discounts) but the only thing we really need is boots for H and they didn't have pigmy sizes in stock ! So paid them my life savings, procured my 955 and went for a bit of a squirt !
Just aint the same no more though :oi-grr: the 1050 is soooo much the better bike and it's got the radar detector fitted lol (funny how ya seem to check yaself after 3 months disqual.)

Not as bad as it sounds where i am on the coast, ya can leave here in a t shirt and head to welly or palmy and regret not wearing more ! Nothing like the bay though, if i had 2 choices where to live, they'd be nelson or HB
