eek Weirdos Woke up 6am on Sunday morning to find My Madas 125 and my flatties Gsx laying on thier sides exactly a semi circle from where they were (between a car and a fence, both with steering locks on) No damage to either bike (IGN/locks etc) and they we're laid over VERY carefully on our gravel driveway\parking area. So carefully that there wasn't a single knick, scrape or dib from the gravel. Wtf Cmon you half arsed crims. ...
Who ever wrote the song about sunny Spain had never travelled their Atlantic coast in late May. I have had virtually all four seasons . This is not a whinge about the weather , just an observation. I stayed in Pamplona two days and on my last night I witnessed the most fantastic electrical storm I had seen in decades. Huge sheets of lightning, illuminating the backdrop of the Pyrenees. Then darkness as a huge rain front approached. I double pegged my tent and ran extra ...
Leading into winter this week, I have a smile on my face....just purchased a mint Suzuki GSR600. Won't be riding much at all through this winter, still playing golf (go figure??) But really looking forward to next spring. And this song came to mind - Willie Nelson singing... On the road again - Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road ...
What a great day for a ride, so it’s not surprising that we had 30 bikes turn up for the Uly ride to the Martinborough Wind Farm. I’d checked the tyres yesterday and put a little in the rear, so this morning I just needed to stow my gear on the bike and leave, pootling to Rimutaka to fill-up before meeting at Brown Owl. The temp did dip to 5º so I pulled the glove liners out when I got to Brown Owl, checked the right ear plug as the sounds didn’t seem to be working too well, took ...
I write this from Pamplona, Spain having travelled 3500 km since I picked up the V strom 650 on May 9. If I can be a little emotional: the bike is sweet- nimble with good mid torque range and frugal at 24/25km per litre. So far I would say it is smoother than the V Strom 1000 I ride in New Zealand Two days later I headed north to the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham. I arrived in the middle of the new Honda Crossfire launch and with the only parking available in the middle ...
So I finally got my ass into gear a couple of weeks ago and booked my 6F. The waiting game started and today I turned up to sit it! Like most tests, I was extremely nervous and the weather wasn't making it any easier! Woke up this morning, looked out the window, it was wet. No rain at that point, I could cope with that. So after dropping of the daughter at preschool, I jumped on the bike and headed to the test centre. That's when the nerves really kicked in. ...
You're going to have to see the attached pictures to figure out how that magic in the title happened Last weekend was crating time. After some rather frantic work to get the bike ready (see previous blog), with tyres, service and electrical issues, I knocked off work on Friday a little earlier around 7pm. The evening was consumed with planning what gear I would be taking to the USA, and therefore, what needed to travel with the bike now, and what I would take in July, via plane. ...
