So, we went to go check out the Wellington Nitro Circus show on Saturday night. Awesome stuff! Lots more pics, and and video of the final, epic train, at http://mymotocyclette.tumblr.com/post/42795495652
I sort of gave up the blog because I spent my remaining time at the Olympics. Guess I should finish it though. Our next stop in Turkey was Gallipoli- my second visit there and the poignancy was still there. the waste, the cynicism and the misplaced nationalism all seems so futile. From here I cut across Greece, which was either closed down or on fire sale, headed up to Montengro and into Albania. I tried to buy insurance at the border ...
So, I got angry today after yet another cager drove like a complete arsehole, and I wrote this. Note - motorcyclists can be arseholes, too... An open plea to the riders and drivers of New Zealand Oh, also, I went out on gravel for the first time ever on Wednesday. Nope, not far, but still! Details here
Oh, man, it gives me great joy to introduce my new bike, tentatively named 'the monster' Bought on impulse, as I do, but not entirely - I knew I needed something like this, and soon. Anyway, more details on me blog, here: http://t.co/CZBr5LuM Also, Mort is for sale! Check the classifieds right here, on the KB forum. He's the wee 2012 Suzuki GN125H for sale... ...
We were only there on Sunday afternoon*, but I took a bunch of pictures, some of which (and a link to more) can be found here: http://bit.ly/WqNXdO SO COOL. ----- * We couldn't find a programme online ANYWHERE, so just had to guess about turning up, meaning we missed the river enduro race. Ah well!
Late night
I was warned that growing them in paint pots would stunt their growth by a green thumbed fella... turned out that that's exactly what has happened. Anyhoo...
