    might have been another day, where do you think it might have been?

    And if it was us - the Vespa was allowed to win

    Would have been Monday then, somewhere between Taupo and Wanganui?

    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    Could have been - Monday we went from Tokomaru across to Bulls through Rongotea and the Tangimoana Rd and then SH3 to Wanganui and round the coast road via Cape Egmont to New Plymouth...

    Have seen and waved to and been waved to by many bikers...

    This is on the road from Raetihi to Pipiriki.

    If you get to 50 yrs of marriage you have this to look forward to.

    A couple had been married for 50 years. They were sitting at the
    breakfast table one morning when the wife says, "Just think, fifty years
    ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together." "I know," the
    old man said, "We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds fifty years
    ago." "Well," Granny snickered, "Let's relive some old times." Whereupon
    the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table. "You know, honey,"
    the little old lady breathlessly replied, "My nipples are as hot for you
    today as they were fifty years ago." "I wouldn't be surprised," replied
    Gramps. "One's in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal."
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    that's spoilt my weekend thanks - 43years married......

    But oh joy, it looks like I'm going to have a BMW single engine to do for a customer - but wait...it's an Isetta...so, no, down again....

    But yes, a reason finally, I got the workshop cleaned up after a week of carving alloy bits for a race bike.

    ...a young bloke I spoke to on a race track a few months ago just turned up to pick up a small Honda part that would be nearly impossible to pick up these days...I got a half dozen of my favourite beers and he had a really big smile on his face when he left...
