    Merry Christmas

    Another year of adventure riding spills & thrills is almost at its end. It was great to meet a few more like minded adventurers and share the trails and gravel in 2012.

    There have been a number of broken KBr's this year; Vegman's nasty legg break, Gser's sholder, and more recently Rosie's busted leg to name a few. Its been a realitively quite year for me, only two trips to theartre this year ....arrh well next year will be better!!

    Where ever you find yourself over Christmas New Year I hope theres a good stretch of gravel or a decent single track nearby, be safe, stay upright and have a merry Christmas!

    Cheers

    ....wherezz that track go

    I was going to say you should get a GS, but I did end up in A&E with a 2nd degree burn...

    I still think a GS is a good choice for you tho

    I hope everyone has a nice safe Christmas and you all manage to get out and about on the bikes.
    Personally I'll be sticking to upper body exercises this Christmas

    I'll be based in Hamilton over the break if anyone is getting together in the Waikato. New Years I'll be around around Colville and Fletchers Bay and probably a few days after that Dargaville/Poutu Point, all on the bike.

    Good to know I'll have a long-distance drinking buddy

    I'm about to try and retrofit a steel cap to my cast so I can spend a bit of quality time with my welder over Christmas. Anyone need an abstract-art paperweight?

    Like wise, have a good one everyone. Just another month and back on the bike again, but whose counting.

    Ride Safe so we see you in the New Year.

    Cheers GSers

    Yes Merry Xmas all, been a safe year also *touchwood* My GSXR did decide to lob itself into the garden before I even left home the other weekend though and I wasn't even on it. At least it killed a garden knome , they shouldn't be hanging around when your checking your oil from the wrong side when your loaded up touring style
    On the subject of injuries... anyone whose still borderliune on the idea of a plb or spot/gps type device, just watch that new rescue chopper show from south island... eeekkk that hunter on west coast other night with compound fracture in dense bush...

    Hi all,
    Hope you all have a happy holiday celebrating / riding / relaxing.

    A special warning to all you lower north island riders; I'm back in NZ in early Jan so should be back out on the trails again as soon as I retrieve my bike from storage. France has been great for the last 9 months - but really homesick now and just about bursting to get out exploring NZ again.

    Anyway, see you all soon, Pikey, Sudman, Stormtrooper, Bart, MarkS, ManakauKTM, Steve, Wade and loads of others I've left out.

    Joyeux Noel!

    Gav
