  1. a dangerous thing speculating

    The more I think about it the more I am convinced the problem of the bike cutting out under load is simply a fact of water in the carb bowl. The bike is also running a bit lean so time to through it on to machine at course

    I have decided to extend the current seat to the back of the bike, making it easier to lie flat on the bike and make a fibreglass shell to replace the present cowling (made from a storage container). I may even attempt to make a new fairing just for the fun ...
  2. More of my fiction writing

    NOTE: I would love your comments on my fiction writing. Anything will do.

    Dreaming

    The naked light bulb had a strong pull. He knew he had to fly towards it. And then circle it. Around and around, until he got dizzy and disoriented. And then he would land somewhere and just sit there feeling the excitement that the flight had caused.
    He also knew that as soon as his head was clear again, he would be back up there doing the dance with the other moths. He knew ...

  6. The Winter Solstice - Police Public Relations

    Group riding can be very enjoyable and there will be times, perhaps frequent times, when you go on a ride you won't know many or any people. The adage "Ride your own ride," is often heard and read about.

    If you have a mentor and ride with a few friends, take some time out to review the general group riding strategies.

    It may be the shortest day, and cold, but while group riding we are often reminded of our riding responsibilities, for not only our own safety, ...

  8. Berry Berry Nice

    Some of the family came down to Wellingrton last night and we went to the last show of Cats, at the Opera House. It was a great show and we had a big ride today, so it was a Berry Berry Nice weekend. (I say this because for part of the ride today, we were joined by Dick Hubbard on his Beemer).

    The ride was departing from the Plimmerton Weigh Station at 0930, to go to Hunterville for lunch and I took my son Lance who is visiting. We were up before 0800 to get ready and on the road ...
