I had a lot on my mind, including queues, besides taking pictures of the chickies. You should have been there instead
I'm very jealous. Nice scenery.
So when will you be posting some video footage of the good stuff you bastich!
Some terrific shots there, good to hear about the usual shenanigans you get up to. I hope you didn't destroy too much of the local flora with your bike (remember South Island?) Seems you are exhausting your vocabulary and in need of some new synonyms and similes to conjure up the majesty of the vistas unfolding before you!
Oh how I chortle at the early starts, it still shouldn't be a surprise that many others do get up early unlike you! And I did think you did a dangerous thing and enter a sweet shop - not much change from two twenties again I take it?
About time you slacker, anyhow seems like you are finally riding in the parts of USA you really wanted to see. Seems you are starting to creep back into your bad habits of late starts (pity, after all the early ones you were doing!) I must say, overseas travel seems to have changed you ... cleaning your bike? And again, gorgeous booth babes, but no piccies Keep up the reporting sirrah!
Good job John

John, and Andrew, well done and congratulations for bringing forth the very basic and fundamental things of why we ride bikes. There is never a day that goes by that we cannot learn something, no matter how old we are. May your initiative John continue, and may you solicit (in the nicest possible way) the co-operative endeavours of Andrew Templeton - from Road Safe, and the Lower Hutt City Council. I look forward to your continued good work in the promotion of these types of events, inclusive or exclusive of the motorcycle riding club you are attached to. I would like to think that Ulysses New Zealand and BRONZ together can take a forefront and effective lead in the promotion of motorcycle skills awareness and development through the 2011/2012 summer and daylight saving period.
did andrew have a go on his ST?
man love those extra lights on the front. cant wait to see in person how bright they are.
