    The weekend's ramblings

    Had a nice ride out through Pureora on Saturday, then helped my girlfriend buy Potzman's (thanks Potzman ) immaculate KRR150 & rode it back to Rotovegas for her.

    NIce work clint
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Nice one Clint, hmm my lady is keen on getting a bike too but I'm in two minds over the whole thing. I know I should l let her do want she wants to do (which I probably will anyway) but am just worried about her getting hurt. How do you feel about yours being on 2 wheels??

    I would not argue if it was me but I do not have that worry but guess you should let her do what she wants and make sure she gets all the training etc.....applies to all other aspects of relatonships too I guess......I mean she let you buy a motorbike so what is the difference....ha ha

    Well, it was her money & her idea. She does a lot of cycling around town so is well used to riding defensively & not expecting anybody to give way or even see her. She'll also have a full set of gear before she gets on the open road so that's a large part of the safety equation taken care of. When I think of the crashes I've had I worry a bit, but they were mostly when I was young(er) & stoopid(er) & not wearing as good protective gear as we have now.

    Cheers
    Clint
