    The 'Dirty Ol' Beast'?? I wouldn't want to grubby up the site. I'll have to get the forks back on first and that means finishing cleaning the trees and frame fraont and wheel ...... or I could just put it back together and borrow one o'dem flash new fangled cameeras.

    I gotta say Nudz (just a little off topic) I'm quite proud of myself. Got those seals all done myself. And after replacing the fuel pump on the missus car on the weekend - I'm almost a qualified mechanic!! Hahaha

    It'll be good to get back on the road tho' (wistful sigh)

    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'...
    Do you ride a black GT250? Pretty sure that I followed you southward on SH2 a couple of weeks ago.

    Hey, good on you, Colapop !!!!!!!!

    I love to see some DIY going on. To many people give up and take to a shop when a little help and perseverence is all you need.

    We'll have to go for a ride sometime.

    Cheers

    Today is the first day in a long while that I havent had to ride to work as Im working from home today. Bloody great looking out over the water with the sun shining.
    I did go for a short ride at about 9.30am just to the bank and took the long way home around the Pauatahanui inlet. Brilliant
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Well it's blue and sort of like a scaled down GSX1400, but much slower. And a bit like the bike in my picture, although I've got to update with the new screen and shock.

    A pole dancing motorbike named Sparkles ..... interesting....

    You don't need to bag GN's they have a valid place in getting many people on the way to becoming fully fledged bikers. They're cheap as chips, to buy and to run and they're a pretty stable bike too.

    Nah, mate im not really bagging them! My first bike was a GN250 brand new it was and it was my pride and joy, until I wrote it off by taking out a barrier pole on the back roads of Martinborough. You see its easier to blame the bike than myself.... (j/k)

    She's just pissed her GN used to beat her up. Fortunately, like a good battered woman, she finally listened to advice and left it on the side of the road somewhere and found something better almost straight away.

    Which reminds me, why do we not see Str8 on any TRTNR?

    My ride to work this morning was completely uneventful. Enough traffic watching the truck and two cops on the other side of the road for me to assert my ego over the cars (and scooter), and then enough clear road to remind me why people think I'm so mad.

    Then I pulled into the carparks in town to notice that the bike park was completely full. Damn scooters... So I parked on the footpath. It didn't have a ticket at lunchtime, always a good thing

    Yeah I know what that's like. Try 120 in the main st of Wairoa and binned it, no insurance, 4 weeks in hospital. Wasn't my fault though, it was poor road conditions and other idiot drivers going 50k an hour, and the sun was in my eyes....
