Hamilton Ulysses 500 Miler, 9 October 2011 Hamilton branch runs an annual 500 mile ride early in October each year. The ride is organized by David Coy, originally as a training ride for the Rusty Nuts Grand Challenge. The route is kept secret until the morning of the ride. In this instance I got to know the day before as David handed me a set of information sheets on the Saturday and asked me to take them out to Cambridge to meet the riders who would ...

This Blood Run coincides with the 60th BRONZ Blood run, so badges will be for sale ($10). The SMC rubber chicken is also scheduled to make an appearance... who will be awarded the poultry prize this time round??? When: ...
Well the one last time ride I expected the last one to be wasn't and was followed by 2 practices and and 11/2 days of racing. This first practice was lots of heart leaping little thomas the tank engine's "I can do this, I can do this." The second practice was lets get some decent laps times and was more than happy with 46 sec laps (about a sec off my top consistent times) With first day weather packing up and I crashing I'd had enough and went home after ...
This weekend was programmed for my last conditioning ride for the GC (with only 3 more weekends to go and a club ride next weekend) and since missing out on the big Honda sale, although I was resigned to keeping my bike, I’ve kept a weather eye out for a replacement ST. There have been several nice looking ST’s on TradeMe and I turned down a good offer in Masterton, as I thought, “Nah, keep the $’s and keep the Big Red, it’s got 122,000Km on it, but it’s going great.” ...But, then ...

Don't ya hate selling a bike you love? Even if for the right reasons......... you still hate to part with em. I hated parting with my SS750, but it was useless two-up. I hated parting with the 600F I traded on my GSXR but ... I had to. Now I am selling my Super Duke, because face it, it is way surplus to requirements. Had a lot of fun on it though! As has Kelly and the kids when I have taken any of them out on it. And the wheelies....oh the wheelies. ...
FU Mr Avon!! You can take your Storm 2 Ultras and shove ‘em where the sun don’t shine. I’ve had nothing but great riding off the Avon Storms but my last three rears (all Storm 2 Ultras) have cost me a fortune and given me no end of grief. The attached refers for the first two, to which I received no comment or reply….and then there was this weekend!! The bike has been running great, I did have to get a Battlax 023 fitted to the front (I might note that this was because of Mr Avon’s ...
