    Yeah even where we are (and we have lots of pictures of Mao and Lenin and even fucking Stalin on our wall) I don't think it would fly.

    You ever had those white bits appear under your fingernails after a crisp morning's start to an autumn tour in summer glubs?

    Oh I'm sure Bob's just being a considerate, progressive, inclusive wee pixie, no doubt taking the lead from a quantity of feminist generated vagina art hanging, (figuratively) in any number of public galleries.

    He's good like that.

    LOL yeah. I once rode a motorbike from Invercargill to Gore in May (early May) and it snowed all the way. I was following in the wheeltrack of a P & T landcruiser because if I didnt escape that day I would have been trapped down there for a week.

    It wouldn't have lasted where I worked, but in a gym with all the other things he mentioned? It's not like she was forced to look at that.
    Anyhoo, she can check out the artwork at her new gym. The one she has to pay for with her own cash.

    Yep. Sooooooooooo glad for my heated grips at 5.25am. It was nipple-puckeringly cold. It has made the 15km ride to work (and then back to my delivery area at about 8.30am) a totally different proposition to that where it felt like somone was smashing my fingertips with a hammer.

    My heated seat takes only a few corners to cut in while I'm dropping the kids to school. . .

    I did get my heated vest extended. Seems to have shrunk in last 15 years. Not used it this year.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    What ? It just fell apart in your hands ? You left it overnight and came in to this ? NZ Customs confiscated the rest when they looked at the wheels ?
    Your OCD cut in and you decided to clean it all ?

    What are you doing with a Kawasaki anyway ?

    OCD and bad influences from hanging with the Smiths BMW & Wilson Craig Honda crew chief's at the northwest & TT.
    I learned what normal was.
    Kawasaki is ok.

    Normal is relative to the size of your budget, the length of the races you're doing - and whether the bike is a purpose built race unit.
    If you've grown up watching grandad strip his manx Norton down to the bare frame between meetings, then had to do the same when you raced TZ's, normal is the complete strip.
    If you grew up building and racing 750 WSB stuff, you're not really used to that as it became largely unnecessary.
    Do the pre-season prep right and for a NZ season, I'd be surprised if between race strips are needed.

    The BMW guys are back to a frame & engine between meetings, if they're not doing an engine swap.
    This thing has been a club day beater for most of its life & is being prepped for greater things, so best to have a proper look & clean up.
