  1. 2007 In Retrospect

    The past week has been quiet and relaxing with no rides but I did manage to finally get some paint on half of the roof. This year has gone pretty quick and has had a some significant moments for me.

    In January, I registered on KB and Ann and I went to Auckland on the 1400 Intruder to watch some tennis and Cirqe du Soliel,.... and returned on a 2007 ST1300.

  5. Training Day

    Talk about knackered!!

The event ...

    Likely Destination of Castlepoint. (Heard is nice place for photos) Via Masterton. Then a return trip back through Longbush - Martinborough - Featherston - Home.

    Photo stops a plenty - and lunch where and when the grp decides they want to.
