General Bike Ravings

Well, it sure is good to be back. I got a final bit of work out of the way on the bike (with the help of my two boys who were just as keen to start it up as I was...

Bit of an anti climax though as the battery was pretty tuckered before I parked it up for two months, so was totally tuckered when I went to start it...boys thought it was pretty to jump start off the Surf though.

So here's a couple of pics from my ride up Altimarlock (Awatere Valley, Marlborough) two hour ...

Purchased my Boots & trousers on Saturday from Cycletreads ($340 boots $210 trousers) along with my VIP discount - always handy.

Great tip
When getting on your bike turn the wheel away from you - tis easier to get on (I must've looked like a right novice)


Ok my first go on the motorway (Got on at Highbrook & off at Ellerslie) this weekend and with thanks to Paul on his 1200 Bandit for helping boost my confidence. It was a simple task ...

Day 1 – Prague to Alpbach Austria

First Ride went without a hitch (oh unless one stall is a hitch). Pottered around the streets in the Eastern Burbs on Sunday morning - (Doesn't Time fly when you is having fun), went out around 11.15 after the showers & did a few stops n' starts then I thought I must see how much fuel I have so went to the Shell Station to fill up & zero the clock, this is where the stall took place when I stopped at the pump furthest away from anyone who may spot that this is the first time he's used a ...

It had been quite a stressful week. I had been checking the Metservice weather reports regularly, hoping for some good news in the 7 and 3 day forecasts – hoping that somehow, the weather reports were wrong. By Friday, I had resigned myself to a wet weekend hoping that we would get a few breaks in the weather when we really needed it.

As we woke on Saturday morning the day promised a lot and we hoped for the best. We met at the Caltex at Fanshawe Street and huddled under the canopy ...

The rain here in Wellington is not easing up and while my current riding gear keeps me warm and dry I feel the need to keep that way.

The sad thing was that I needed a 3XL and now one in Wellington had them in my petite size

Looked on line everywhere and by the time I paid postage etc it was cheaper to buy direct from TSS. Great bunch of guys in their ...
