    Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.

    Bump starting bikes is a skill that some can't master. Most people run a bit, then jump onto the seat sidesaddle styles as they drop the clutch...

    Funny as a fight in a church when the bike falls away from the person and the end up sitting on their arse beside a prone bike.

    Funnier still when the bike fires, and they do the same thing, except the bike rides away by itself doing a right hand U turn.

    I can see that being quite a nifty thing to learn (especially with my bloody bike!!)

    For now tho I may pull my chick card. I want to learn how to ride it before I learn how to fix it.

    Congrats.

    The first time I rode over the bridge I was pretty stoked.

    Now you are a biker, the next step is the pilgrimage to the Puhoi Pub for Sunday lunch. -Best wait till the weather fines up for that one though.

    I've been to puhoi and a bit further. But not to a pub there. Nom nom nom.

    the puhoi pub has been a calling for every biker north of wellington for years.

    Last I called in on a ride there would have been around 50-60 bikes there - Mind you it was sunny and warm.
