    Today went well with memorial

    Hiya peoples,

    I had a tribute ride home today from work in remeberance of my Father's anniversary passing away and went the long way home on the ZX-10 despite there being rather nasty winds today in the Capital.
    (there were even some 11,000rpm runs that I dedicated to Dad )

    Thanks for your well wishes (esp Scorpygirl) .

    My Mother was rapt when I told her about the KB thread.

    ....and if it wasn't for him plonking me on this CR-80 while I was 12 years old for the very first time, I wouldn't be here 23 years later !!!

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Here's a pic I'd like to share...Motorcycling with the whole family involved.

    Mum took the pic of myself, my sister and my Dad in 1982 at Pukekohe in the pits.

    Back then he worked for Mike Vinsen Suzuki in Auckland, hence the t-shirts me (sitting on the wire-wheel Kat) and him are wearing.

    Photos like these are priceless.

    Well done mate.
    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

    How awesome to have a whole family that is into riding! You must have some wonderful memories.
    For ever action...there is a reaction.

    When I was about 14, my Mum and Dad each bought brand-new GSX-550E's (remember them?). Dad's was Blue and White and Mum's was Red and Gray.
    Us 4 went every in the Summer on those. I'll see if I can sort out a pic of the machines.
