Holidays coming up - yeeharrr!!!

[LB]

Not long to go now!!!

We finish work tomorrow (Thurs) and head to Pukekohe really early Friday (departing Wgtn around 4.30am) for the racing. Then Monday we head back to Wgtn, and catch the 5.30pm sailing for the wonderful South Island for 20 days of touring around, wherever the sun happens to be shining.

My M1000 has had it's 10,000km service and is all ready and waiting in the gargre. Hamish is taking his R1100S, which has just had it's 80,000km service and is also waiting patiently in the gargre.

So I won't be around for a while, as it's unlikely I'll be on the site while away.

I'm hoping to catch up with a few of you Mainlanders, so if I do, you might like to make a posting to say I'm still alive and that the M1000 is running well (she says optimistically!!).

When I get back I'll let you know, and I'm sure someone will precis the events of the previous three or so weeks for me.

Ride safe everyone.

Ride safe everyone.

Fantastic Have a great and safe trip. You might need the winter warm cloths for the early morn as some winter temps appear to be on the weather map from time to time. Have a great trip. We will keep the country going while you are away

[Riff Raff]

Cool - hope you have a fabulous time. I'm sure I'll catch up with you at Pukekohe (I'll be in the green and yellow overalls again!)

[Sniper]

Thats great Lynda. Maybe even see you when you hit the good old South Island. Gixxer is right, back some warm wollies as the early mornings are quite chilly. Have fun and ride safe

You're always on holiday! I'm just jealous. Hope that you have spiffing time.

We will try not to break the south island for you this weekend...

Or stir up the locals...

Good on you Lynda, I'll spot you sometime when you get back, not that I'm home much myself these days - work trips unfortunately not biking but at least the boss is paying.

[Hitcher]

We might see you on the road. Mrs H and I are heading south on Monday. Yee haw!

[Jantar]

I received a message from Lynda last night to say she is in SNOWY Queenstown, and heading for Alex today.

Yep, there is snow on the ground down here, and a frosty road for today's ride to work. Have we just skipped autumn and gone straight to winter perhaps?

[merv]

Yeah Wellington's summer that lasted about 5 weeks seems to be over too.

Have a great, safe trip. Hope the M1000 performs sweetly and reliably and that you have no unforeseen problems.

Happy riding.

Enjoy Linda!
If you find yourself cruising around ChCh, drop Kickaha myself or Dangerious a line if you've time to spare for a catch up, a friendly face and a coffee.

Mobile number being PM'd to you now.

Take care

If she doesn't she'll get a slapping next time I see her,of course last time her Ducati broke down so she may not make it this far without mechanical assistance anyway

A further update on Lynda.

Yesterday I met up with Lynda and Hamish at Omakau. A very pleasant suprise was to find that Hitcher and his wife were there as well. They arrived from the Oamaru direction and came into Omakau only a few minutes after Lynda. So we all enjoyed a pleasant outdoor lunch with great views of the snow capped mountains all around us.

Hitcher and Jane headed down to Dunedin, while Lynda and Hamish followed me home for coffee, then continued back to Queenstown.

Today, Lynda and Hamish are heading for Te Anau (2 nights) and intend cruising on through to Milford Sound tomorrow.

They are having a great trip and asked me to pass on to everyone that they are having a fanatastic time.
