Daughter crashed my little AZ50 the other day she was ok bar a broken collar bone. The bike looked not bad and was able to ride it the bike shop to have a look see. Wow front struts twisted and frame bent. The guy said a possible write off but its up to the insurance. And it was only a small dent in the door of the other car, man it does not take much. Will alo took my Voyager in for the first 3k service. Been only 2 months been to palmy and ...
today is my third time touch bike, second time on the road, and first time on fall on the grand. (worth to write it down):-P it has been two weeks since I ride gijoe1313's bike last time, sitting on the bike already don't know what to do. :-O Continually doing the left turn at the block, still nervous at the corner, but feel fine to speed up, 50k no problem, coming to a roundabout, slowing down, seems nobody pass, trying to turn left and go smoothly, suddenly a red car appear, brake, ...
Another two ride week. It was Mum's birthday yesterday so I decided to nip over to Masterton and take her out for lunch and today was a dusk ride to Stonehenge Aotearoa with Ulysses. I had to go to town first to pick-up a book for Ann, then got straight on the Motorway and headed up to Caltex Rimutaka to fill up. I got away from the gas station at 1058, it was 17° and although it looked like it was going to rain and the road was wet, I got to the top of the hill unscathed and all ...
Apart from a few scars (doctors always asking "have you had your appendix out") the worst bit about smashing what was a mint Suzuki GT380, is that they (Suzuki Dealer in Feilding) rebuilt it.

Geez I didn't know it was grunty, I'd only ever ridden a farmbike once before.) So back on ...

28th Febuary - Wet, Cold, Blowing like a barsteward. But you could not wipe the smile from my face even if you had me with a ten foot pole.. Reason.........My new steed arrived... So it was off to the shop to see it uncrated. Thanks to Pete from WMC for taking the time out to do this. Was just like christmas. Gotta like the way they are packed up and transported nowadays. Some pics included. Only took the boxing off, ...
