    C'est belle ce matin (Welly)

    Who else had a good ride this morning?

    I travel from Ngaio to Gracefield (Petone-ish) and had the quickest trip ever...the roads were in good nick, traffic light and compliant, think I saw Jim2 (this early?!?!?!) and waved to someone on a blue GSX250 (2004).

    Its good to be riding.

    ps - I get to work about 7:45am...do I see YOU each morning?

    [edit] perhaps title should be 'ce belle matin'...

    A rucking fipper. And here's me at work while the sun shimmers tantalisingly on the harbour and a light northerly just pushes the spray off the Oriental Bay fountain...

    I went round the bays on the way to work thinking it'd be nicer than going through the tunnel, but the traffic was moving at about 5km/h the whole way! I was expecting there to be some major roadworks to cause that, but there was absolutely nothing! argh.

    I use that as an excuse to 'laud it over the cagers'. Fun fun fun.

    I caught the bus. A fat smelly man sat next to (on) me. I think he farted.


    I suppose it's motivation to get the bike sorted.


    But I'm not upset about it - much

    (
    I spent a good 10 years taking public transport before I got my bike and I reckon that if peoples arses are a certain width or wider they should be made to pay for two seats..... Not very pc I know, but its how I feel.

    Fat bastards should be made to walk. They're fat after all and need the excercise. I'm just pissed coz it's been *#$@!*!! of a day (for me) so far. And I left me cell phone at home (with all my notes and sh*t on it)

    BUT I'm still smiling coz if I don't I'm gonna hurt someone.

    Why thank-you Ma'am that's right neighbourly of you. Not needed now though, the meeting I needed it for has just been - up in smoke!! Woooweee!!! Some o' dem fellers jus' wanna fight!!

    After I'd given my presentation I sat down and said pretty much nothing. I did ask a question that raised a lot of other queries that people should have considered but didn't - then the shit fight started - and it wasn't my fault. But it made me feel better coz it was really just a big c*ck swinging contest between the two head honchos there (ooo there's some baaad blood there!!)
    So things have gotten better and I might go for a walk at lunch in the sun

    We're in the heady heights (cloudy) of the Karori hills (above the sanctury). In a nice quiet cul-de-sac. And there's a couple of other bikers in our street. One guy who goes (to work?) at 5:30 in the morning when I'm off to the gym and my neighbour across the road who's just got a new GN with 'L' plates (It's so purty - all shiny and new).

    Repeat after me, GN's ARE NOT PRETTY! I have a great solution for dealing with brand new Gn's....

    Awww come on. It's all shiny and it sparkles in the sun. I think I might see if they'll call it 'Sparkles'. Then I can think of it while I'm in the 'Dungeon' (garage under the house) getting my bike all polished up - and back together.
