  1. the budding of the next generation

    I took my daughters on the front and back of my bucket last weekend, much to their delight and horror. The older one just about shat her pants to start off the first time she let out the clutch (well with me really operating it) but once she realised she wasn't going to die at 5kph she started to get into it. My younger one is really starting to get into the mind set of a speed demon. For her birthday I got her a pocket trail bike and once it had a set of training wheels she was off. Even got into ...

  6. Pink Ribbon Ride

    With just one week to go until the Grand Challenge, I've been sorting out my gear and making final preparations. I washed my corduras and retreated them, brought a map and supply of nut bars, I've been looking at helmets to get a new one that will be a bit quieter than the HJC and the bike is booked in for a pre-GC check tomorrow. So I'm pretty much ready.

    I haven't done much in the way of duration or night riding lately but I should be OK there and todays ride was totally at the ...

    Last time...







    Sitting at the illegal boarder of Croatia and Bosnia and Hercegovina, we contemplate... should we take the risk and cross illegally? Or go back and loose about an hour of travel...


    It is a hard decision... we see that it is possible to bring the bikes around, carefully...


    In the end we decide to go for ...

  8. Hindsight. It's a wonderful thing.

    She looked so good on Trade Me. Her bright white wheels, winking at me coyly from the photographs. The write up was smooth and convincing, the interest of others encouraging, the questions asked both daft and probing in just the right degree.

    A few drinks on a Sunday evening, a chat over the phone, and the deal was done. A 1990 Yammie TDR project bike was mine. Sweet as bro! Right? Wrong. Oh so very wrong.

    I fly up to Welly to pick up my new ride. First impressions ...
