Cunning plan?

[gijoe1313]

No use asking me since I always approve of these sort of things! A cunning plan you have you say? So cunning that you could stick a tail on it, and call it a weasel?

Weather forcast for the South Island, from Kaikora to the bluff,
Bought to you By Subikes Winter Knee,
Garrenteed to be as correct as the weather forcast on TV !
It was a mild 12 in Waipara this afternoon, with a sunrise at 7.45 am over Greta Valley .
Looking at a warm day tomorrow down the east coast.
8 the expected over night low,
12 again the midday high
No frosts expected so you will have a comfortable ride my end of the Island, The weather should continue to be fine all the way to south of Dunedin where you will run into winds and light showers by the time you get to Scumdogs house for supper.
From there to Invercargill, put the wet weather gear on, not only to combat the rain, but also the cold.
Enjoy.

I just did a 4 day round trip up north. 2000+K's. No plan, no organised stop overs. Enough money for petrol and a few dollars leftover. It rained and there was wind. I got wet, cold, tired. But fuck, what a trip! I wanna go again now!

Too late to sort my shit so I can come with you. Bummer!

Just Do It! (Maaan, that is a good one, wonder if I could use it or sell it???)

The question remains: DID he, or did he NOT go???????

Is HE or is he NOT still in the shit with his wife?????

[Headbanger]

HA.

Cunning plan turned to shite.

And the wife was fine, The bike was packed, The oil levels had been checked and I was tucked into bed.

At which time #2 son woke up, and went ballistic (red head kids have the devil in them I reckon) anyway, By the time he calmed down and went back to sleep it was 2am.

Fucked if Im going to try and do that ride on 3 hours sleep so I disabled teh 5am alarm when I went back to bed.

Just going to head north some time today instead.

Well, at least you had your answer of whether to ride to Invers or not - enjoy the ride to wherever today

[Zuki lover]

told ya he would go back to sleep

[MarkH]

Haven't mentioned it to the wife yet, I bet there will be some sparks.......

I'm going for a ride and may be some time . . .

[Headbanger]

Well, that was interesting.

I'm standing in the servo at National Park,soaking wet,its pissing down, covered in mud, Bikes bent, I'm in a fair bit of pain from the hole in my leg,and the impact my head and shoulder took, sipping on a servo coffee and looking down the road mulling over the upcoming ride through the Parapara in shit conditions with bent handlebars.

Some Canadian fucker pulls up in his gleaming land-rover, Climbs out, Looks at me and says "great day for a ride", I think fuck you, But respond, "Yeah mate, Its an excellent day for a ride".

[sil3nt]

Sounds like your having an adventure...

If you have had a a knock to the head, please take it easy and be very careful. I'm sure you know the perception problems even slight head injury can cause (even after allowing for the constant practice that your username suggests).

[Headbanger]

Mere artistic license.

Currently I'm in trouble for bleeding on the lounge carpet, LMFAO.

Anyway, Seeing as I didn't make it down south I decided to do the Coro loop as its always getting mentioned on these forums. I went Wanganui, Taupo, Tauranga (took a shortcut near Tauranga and lost an hour backtracking), Waiha, Whitianga.

As expected it rained like a bastard, and I damn near froze in the National park, The last hour was spent in the dark on treacherous wet,steep roads, roads with billions of corners. Hard work but enjoyable.

Stayed the night in Whitianga and then carried on around the loop, down to Thames, Paeroa, Te Aroha, Matamata, Tokoroa,Turangi, cut across National Park to Raetihi and then back to Wanganui.

The roads were pretty much wet the entire way, Which made all those hills in the Coromandel interesting to say the least. Coming down a hill near Turangi I managed to enter a corner carrying too much speed and in a shit position, Tried to tighten my line but to no avail, went wide into the grass and dropped her.

In a nutshell, I suck at riding, Lmfao, and my head was elsewhere, I was probably thinking about how awesome I was or something as equally retarded.

Anyway, Got the bike back on the road and carried on through national park and home.

All in all an enjoyable couple of days.

Bugger! best laid plans and all that....
Well at least you are still right side up and the sense of humour is intact. Hope the bike isn't too bad and that you heal fast. Must be time for a beer....
