    Im off

    To Masterton and Castle Point of all places from tommorrow till Tuesday. A bit of time off fishing, diving and just chilling out in the spa sounds like a good idea after about 4 months without a complete day off where I have either had to work from home, go in for "five minutes" or try chat the boss through a bloody simple server restart! Im going to be completly unavailible to anyone

    Take care all, ride safe and hopefully upon my return I won't have to read anymore accident threads.

    I might see some of you North Island fellas on the way but you will know me. I'll be the only one in a cage courteous to bikers and giving you all a wave.

    LOL Gremlin. It's funny cause it's true.

    Have a good time Snipe, hopefully you'll get to relax enough that your arm will be up to riding again when you get back...

    Being in a similar work position, I appreciate your need for a complete break. Enjoy yourself, hope the KB withdrawal symptoms aren't too bad!

    Yeah what he said. You must have a couple of minutes to stop for a coffee/beer/break on your way through?

    Well now Im back. You guys have been busy with 7400 posts, Im impressed.

    Had an awesome time. Can't remember too much of day 2 and Im still amazed at how my glass was always filled even when Im damn sure I drank the concoction that was inside. Caught alot of Teraki, Tuna, Blue Cod and Groper (Hehe, my kinda fish) and now the freezer is damn full.

    Felt like royalty cause every morning was a buffet of crayfish, champane and paua. So no complaints on the food side. Fell asleep in the sun so now I have nice blisters on my shoulders but Im happy.

    You NI guys sure know how to turn on the weather. Might even plan a trip up there in the near future.
