Maybe he dictated it to Hitcher?

Hi Jim, I'm sorry to hear about this. Heal up asap. I really hope the job situation comes good, they would be silly to flag someone with your skillz away for the sake of a few weeks.

Farmers have an insurance "out" and aren't pursued for damages from my insurance company.

We managed to get a farmer to cover the cost of a bike repair a few years back, But it took a midnight visit, a couple baseball bats, and a trip to the river.

No one was hurt, We just thought we would ruin the fuckers week and get him to pay some coin.

I am so glad to see your post Jim. Heal up my friend and I look forward to seeing what you build in your garage (could always build the meanest 2 stroke ever and come bucket racing with us!)
Big for you.

[James Deuce]

First up will be a 60s styled NZ250 framed and powered psuedo-GP bike for the 2011 hillclimb.

I'm hoping I can still get test bikes to review as well. Need to get through the next 6 weeks first though.

[MSTRS:Me]

Great to see you back posting, Jim. It could so easily have been otherwise.
Take things easy. Or else...

Good to see you post Mr James. I can understand the 'I'm not ok with this' bit.

I have a love hate relationship with that bit of New Zealand. Being almost right outside my backdoor it is tempting to ride it all the time. I can safely say, I have never ridden it without encountering either wildlife or dodgy road repairs. I just won't ride it on my own now.


I genuinely hope that you manage to keep the writing career intact. Your words are always both entertaining and informative.

Thank god it has started working Jim ... glad to heal that you will mend .. and all that work we have done has not been for nothing ...

I have always said if it saves one life it is worth it ... guess what ... it is worth it!!!

[nudemetalz]

As everyone has said here, glad to hear you're on the mend for sure !!

Now, if you want any help with building a race bike, let me know. I've built a bucket or 2 in my time and know NZ250's fairly well

Also, the Guzzi will be available anytime you want to go for a weekend blat.

Really good to see you tippy tapping away.. I really hope that you manage to keep hold of the career that you have, you obviously have a passion for it.

Take it easy fella and heal well.

[yungatart]

I'm so glad that you are still here.
Good luck with the healing process....DON'T rush it!
A lesson to be learned, for sure!

[Ocean1]

Also, the Guzzi will be available anytime you want to go for a weekend blat.

Likewise, there's several assorted pieces of machinery here.

Anytime.
