    Nothing wrong with hands on experience then
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I thought so. Somehow they sort of had that newbie look....a sort of slight awkwardness, and being a bit over enthusiastic with their signalling etc.
    The lady that breath tested me, although polite, was quite aggressive in her demeanor and seemed almost disappointed that I passed. She checked my wof and rego and made quite a point of the fact my rego expires in 2 weeks. (This I already knew and the paperwork was at home ready to go - I see no point in doing it before it's due.) I dont know whether she didnt like motocyclists or was just keen to ticket somebody....anybody...for anything.
    Experience......something you get just after you needed it

    Think I recall seeing that face on Wednesday night! Today we met up with another guy who was there too - can't remember his first name but second name something like Oldenshaw? He was on a BMWOR ride we caught up with today. Damned windy over Foxton way, although the Goose wasn't as bad in the wind as I thought.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    That would be Dave Oldershaw, and his wife's name is Heather.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    That's the one - I was sitting next to him but opposite his wife, so I could see her name badge but not his!

    There was a good turn out for the BMWOR ride on Sunday - about 20 people. Even a couple from Wanganui came over in their car to say hi. It was just a 15 minute run from home for us, but with the strength of the wind, it certainly blew the cobwebs away!
