  1. A Year In The Life Of A Biker

    So, I decided (after being told by several people in the past) to start a blog.

    Dunno if anyone out there will be even slightly interested in my ramblings, but here's the address:

    http://ayearinthelifeofabiker.blogspot.co.nz/

    So far I've only done the Intro, but hopefully will be posting up on it every day (or so!) with my thoughts, ride experiences, and just general stuff going on in my life.

  2. Part 4, and home again.

    Finally found the time to write down the events on the last leg of my (short) trip away, being the return trip home from New Plymouth...

    Left Dad's place at about lunch-time on Sunday, after a long talking to from Dad about the need for effective wet weather gear when riding... Yup, thanks Dad, I'm sick of being wet and cold and miles from anywhere warm! That said, I'm definitely keen to get my hands on a full new set of 'winter' gear, if anyone knows of where I can get good deals... ...

Got on the road at 9am, for a quick stint to see my Step-Mum at the school she works at, in Inglewood. Man it was good to be out on the road again!

  5. 2 week holiday on the Bike!

    Okay, thought I'd write a little down about my journey around the North Island over my holiday...

    Got the CBR back up to spec again, thanks to the guys at Cycletreads for the new chain and sprockets, you have restored my faith in people!

    Starting from home, on Auckland's North Shore, I left yesterday at about 10am after filling up with gas and packing the minimum gear I figured I'd need into my bag. (Spare change of clothes, shaving gear, laptop, cell-phone, and chargers...) ...
