and yet another cool thing.... and you'll like this one SD

Cell phones have this thing called VIBRATE now....you can make your phone vibrate! :spudbooge
So you happen along and suddenly you chest starts doing weird things...it aint your chest ok? Its your phone which in the wee inside pocket in your jacket, doing an impression of a pogo stick.

I have NO idea.
Here's the deal- sold my old leathers last night, so will have funds. BUT (sigh) we need to put a tow bar on the Sub...
Whatever happens I won't be going on Friday, as my lovely wife is taking the day off so we can do some stuff without the kids.
So basically, I still have NO idea

Piece of piss, just get a tank bag with a clear top bit and whalla, txt'ing whilst riding. Can be slightly dodgy along the kaikoura coast... so I've heard

you could always leave AFTER 'the stuff without the kids' is done (wonder exactly what that is?? no better NOT ask) ...do an overnighter

very cool, riding at night ...should be easy after ya last 'almost 1000kms on a day' trip

I can see it now...TonyB stumbles into the motel, half dead from lack of sleep and falls over Scumdog is his anticipation to throttle D for upsetting MrsB

Tisk tisk, you youngins, you have nooooooo idea how looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooong it can take.

And R- I used to ride at night all the time. Loved it- pays to have good headlights though. My old GPX750R had a 130/90 or something with twin relays. On the inland route from Chch to Nelson I could ride safely at speeds which I won't utter here...

Yeah, and that's after his fly zipper was stuck for 5 minutes!!!

But seriously, you'll be missed if you don't turn up!!

Nope. Got sick of putting in 'o's.

IF I come down I will definitely be going Saturday morning. Three reasons-

MrsB
A night out in QTown = $$$$$$$
If I am there on Saturday I'll end up doing something like riding to Milford Sound and back... Best to resist such temptation

Now then;
Anyone NOT dodgy got some room in their tent? Got my own but if I can get away with not bringing it I will.
Is anyone riding back up the West Coast on Sunday?
