Thank you Russell for your company over the hill to the Tin Hutt, and Sels1 for finding my cap I dropped at the duckpond - yeah yeah okay okay I know it was a Honda cap and you were going to drag it through the duckpond before you left on the ride to Featherston. On a different note, I'd like to thank all those that joined in these last six Wednesday Night Smaller Group Rides and to thank all those that ride in the main group that I meet at the Duckpond and have a chat before we set ...
When this run was advertised in Feb/March 07, I, like many, thought it would be a good way to kill a few K’s, however, I did nothing at the time and although my intentions to participate fluctuated, my interest in the event never faltered and I keenly kept an eye on any info about it…..That is until Malcolm (Jantar), posted on KiwiBiker that he needed to sell his entry due to health problems. Well, being a ‘Good Samaritan’ and all, I now had all the justification I needed and promptly set about ...
Sometimes I even surprise myself: September 2006: Originally Posted by BuckBuckNo1 Finally today was spent in the carpark revising - and though I was keen to go and practise, it was one of those days when I didn't feel at one with the bike, so cut it short after 15-20minutes and returned home. A case of listening to yourself and in my case perhaps it was a full week of riding, and though not too far overall, it was time to cut it short and go home. I hope there is a message there. [The post following that September ...

So I volunteered to give The Tazman a break from the timing system for the Hillclimb so he could have a go himself. Arrived nice and early and set shit up, entered day entry's etc, miss Number One arrived so of course the bull-shit basically starts from there, yabba yabba yabba!! I plonk myself and laptop down by the gate, Gary makes sure everything is a go and we're ready for the first run, until we realise that the way I will be getting the times and bike numbers ...
Hi Just got my first road bike looking for events and people to ride with in the bop area.
Over the weekend we stopped by the annual Motorcycle Exhibition, and wow, it was amazing! So many bikes, new and old, customized and originals! And not to forget the beautiful Czech women advertising the bikes My goal? To test out the Ducati Monster and Street Triple to see which bike might fit me best. This year, like before, the exhibition was held at the Holesovice Exhibition Hall which is HUGE and holds various exhibitions throughout the year. As you can see ...
This was a mixed week. I was given a picture of my great-grandparents with my grandfather, taken when he was 3 or 4 so I would estimate it was taken around 1885 and rates highly with me as a family treasure. On the other hand, I went to Motomart to get a spare key for the bike and after booking in, I was supposed to be there for 20-30 minutes while they programmed it.......but 3½ hours later I was spewing and left without a key. What made it worse was that I was told two different ...
