    Our weekend started early, Wednesday to be exact with a ride through to Wairoa in the Hawkes Bay to spend Xmas with family. Pissed down the whole way except for about an hour, luckily from Napier to Lake Tutira, the best bit of the trip!

    Spent Xmas in Wairoa then rode through to Gisborne on

    Thanks to Skunk putting a new tail piece and seat on his AX he had a spare tail piece like Pammy's that got trashed when we hit the track, along with his flash as seat and two side covers.
    Pammy always only had one "real" side cover as Skunk orginally purchased Pamela for her right hand side cover for his bucket, so we'd fabricated several side covers which kept breaking, but now she has a real one,.... very smart! The new seat is also a bit lower

I had also replaced both fork seals as one was leaking, but when I'd replaced the leaky one discovered that there was only a few mils

  7. Pamela's Last Points Race

    So I didn't really have high hopes for placing well in the final

    First points race of the day, clockwise circuit, B grade was fraught with carnage today, especially for anyone who came in contact with a silly little shit on a motard (or should that be anyone who he contacted as he attempted to carver people up and ride motard styles among the buckets!)... anyway, I regress...
    So anyway, heading into the far corner when next thing I know I'm on the deck and see someone has come
