Magpie Madness Rally 2005

What's all this talk about wet? Are you all pessimists or sommat?
I've been without rain for four weeks now and have forgotten what it's like to be rained on (shat-on yes, I've had a share of THAT!!) so how about you lot arranging for a shit-load of dry for CB and I??.

Today was a cooler one in L.A. and heaps of sprots bikes out and and about in groups of 5 to 15, all looking very flash in their 'tooth-paste tube suits' - and not a tassle in sight, how very unnatural!!!

Saw some yesterday near Palm Springs - the lead and tail rider appeared to have some form of walkie-talkie attached to the side of their helmets.

All for now, say ya at the Magpir eh?

Hi Scummy, I was wondering where you were, are you going to do a full cage report with Pics ect, If your up at Magpie Madness can you put in an apology from me. My sponsors from Alaska are over here and they fly out of Queenstown on the Sunday and Im on call for work . Got heaps to do around the house as well. Never mind , went to waikaia rally , had the CBR do a wheelie at 140clicks , just startin to free up well .Stayed at the pub. Last weekend got 170 clicks out of the DR going down Gorge Hill , catch me if you can. Cheers Toddy

Something must be slowing you up D. Last time I was thru that route it took 1.5 hrs Chch-Geraldine. You going to count sheep or summat on the way?

For me it is looking like Friday nite (with sonny Jim and others) then cutting out some time Saturday to head to the back blocks of Geraldine where we have a forestry block - well scrub really. 20km of gravel road should be fun on the GS. Needs a new tyre soon so it will have to wait till after. Might catch you enroute and be looking out for other KBers at the rally.
