Now please I ask for your forbearance and patience in regards to my musings for Monday, in hindsight, which is always perfect and wonderful, I would have done things scantly different. As those who know me, I have a predilection for being able to use any pretext, no matter how flimsy as an excuse to go ride my bike. I am reminded of an old samurai/ronin apocryphal story where a lone samurai (I shall dispense with the ronin appellation since samurai evokes a much more epic sentiment) ...

Paul came around today and showed a keen interest, perseverance and enthusiasm. He finished the day with test riding Ikasu. After he started to get his head around riding a 2-stroke he started to do some 1/2 decent starts. Be interesting to watch him After fitting most of the required sliders I took my newly named bucket, "Zensen" (Japanese for fight the good fight) out for a spin and starting toying with the idea of starting in second. Seems to make the take off faster. I belong ...
Well dear reader, I do so hope today finds you hale and hearty and with all your faculties in reasonable shape from the festivities of a new(ish) year now.

I awoke with the morning chorus of the aviary crew that inhabits our trees and the ...

Well, my most valued and esteemed reader, this marking of chronological units has resulted in yours truly, abandoning his most valued and trusted mechanical steed! The run up to New Year resulted in my family all departing to northern climes, through the hills, dales, valleys, undulations and other thoroughfares to ensconce in the lap of Omapere. My brother had rented a lovely bach by the sea from where we could recline and recluse and generally be in the holiday spirit. Feel my frustration ...
