  1. Monday 14th : Nice day for a ride, don't mind if I do!

    Well, this day finds me early at school to sort out the detritus from this years student body. The robust representation of their work is all boxed up, bagged and thrown into a dark, dusty corner.

    Oh, if only it was Hogwarts, then I could toss the students to Cerebus the three headed hell dog.

    After completing my rounds, I chirpled home to change into my usual red camo ninja pajamas and refueled the beasty. All roads beckoned, the day plentiful in vast dollops of splendid ...
  2. Sunday 13th : Taking some chewfiddies around the block

    Well, today, I find myself in the earstwhile company of some fellow motorcycling stalwarts. Some new, some old to our fine lifestyle.

    I had watched a thread on KB with growing interest, a group of learners/250cc riders wished to improve their skills, associate in like-minded company and to do so, in relative safety (as safe as motorcycling gets).

    This morning, I pre-rode the roads towards the BP Botany, which has been the gathering spot for many a memorable ride. As ...
  3. Saturday 12th : gijoe1313 has a pillion held to ransom

    Well this Saturday just past my fine purveyor of online blogs and ASCII translations of thoughts, I had agreed previously to help a young lady to sort out a new ride that would suit her eminently vertically challenged stature.

    Now, as we all know, it does not take much of an excuse to make one perve longingly and with wondrous examinations of a delicate curve, the rounded form, promising much and with trembling member, we are transfixed in our winsome lusts and desire ... and explore ...
  4. The holiday blog ... or to wit : Where did gijoe1313 go today?

    Well as I find myself unwinding from the stresses of another teaching year, I noticed my milage has alarmingly decreased from what I am wont to do! Now, this just won't do gentle reader. No, it just won't do at all.

    I shall put this to rights by making my usual (dis)concerted efforts into exploring the high ways, the by ways, the low ways and any ways of our fair lands. Suffice to say, I shall ride as much as I can frikk'n do!

    So, I shall catalogue, reference, mark, ...

    Winter in Wanaka.

    As I have mentioned, I was given an opportunity to speak in Wanaka at a week long veterinary educational conference which meant a nearly all expense paid week in Wanaka including skiing.

  6. 2009 Capital 1000Km Cruise

    What an awsome day! Great weather, great route, great bike and great mates!

    After Grub’s tragedy on this ride last year and the problems encountered with nearly half the field not completing, we had to go back to the drawing board to address our route setting along with other improvements to make the day easier to run. Fortunately there are a few groups out there organising events like this and they had some pretty good ideas for us to borrow.

  7. Cape Reinga...or bust!

    Great ride out at the weekend all the way to the Cape and back, the 749 was great on the fast sweepers and twisties but hopeless on gravel roads....no surprise there eh?!!
  8. CHRISTCHURCH lookin for a couple of ppl to ride with

    Hi guys and gals! I am a newbie at all this so hopefully it gets read! lol I have recently bought my first bike bigger than 250cc, a 2004 Suzuki GSF1200S Bandit! - my pride and joy! I live in Christchurch and I'm looking for a few people who are keen on goin for rides here and there, especially after work during the weekday. We are coming into daylight savings and is a perfect time to make the most of those late sun sets. Not keen on BIG groups so want to keep it small.
