    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    I like the look of that!!!

    when i say 35% accurate, i mean for a wet forecast.

    If they say its going to be good then they are generally spot on.
    If they say its going to rain then is about 35% accurate and is more often a sunny day. Im sure its some sort of conspiracy? I have sat here on many occasion with the BBQ cranked, a beer in my hand and a sunburned face only to find jim hickey on tv telling the rest of the country it was pissing down today on the west coast.

    The west coast stretches the same distance from auckland to wellington, imagine giving wellingtons forecast for auckland. rant rant rant, off topic again

    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    Fantastic day here in Greymouth, came via Lewis yesterday and the disco light brigade were out in force and seemed to take an interest in bikes. I figure Arthurs will be similar.

    Loads of bike around town already, and a few race bikes seen in the camp ground we are in, top 10 if you are in this ground we are in unit 10.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    What an awesome weekend!! Superb weather, apart from a chilly wind first thing that thankfully died away, to leave sun and blue sky! Great fun out on the bucket, placing mid field I think, and home in time to watch MotoGP delayed due to rain, had plenty of time to spare then, woohoo!
