it will be easier to get blown around in a land boat, than pushing your bike around a track.

Nah pick up battery and airfilter today so hopefully no more pushing

Would like to thank you and DMNTD for your offers of assistance on the battery charger, found out it is 4 yrs old so be due for a new one in any case... Especially since it has done a fair bit of sitting around

Great turn out tonight even thought it was bloody cold most bikes in a while, whats with that

Anyway - we are all set for Saturday and looks like a great turn out thanks everyone for the support. So here goes for the days events
You will either be in group 1, 2 or 3. If your in group 3, you are going to all three events, and premier members turn up to meet at drivers first. Group 2 for those who are going to two events, and group one, well your just the guys who turn up for the free feed, so a suitable fine will be imposed by group 3 on the day.

Meet Drivers 11.15am, depart 11.30 to Parton Road for Blokarts/Clay shooting. I will book both so people can choose, depending on budget you can do
1 hour blokarts $50
1/2 hour blokarts $30
Clay shooting $12

Ride afterward, wherever the cool winds blow us to

Back at drivers about 3 3.30pm For those of you with families that think you have an afair on the side, bring them along to meet your hairy mistresses. Bring the kids along to check out the poser bikes in the carpark.

Should be a good day and a big thanks to Drivers for putting this on for us

Well another beautiful day out there again today

, BUT....
-5 in Hamilton this morning.
Yet another clear night with no cloud cover to stop the dew and heavy frost settling.

At the summit of the Kaimai's this morning a 4x4 truck rolled and wiped out a beautiful big boat and trailer. They have put more ice grit down and when I came back over around 11.30 there was still thick ice on the curbing and some of the road. With several clear nights now we have black ice on top of black ice.

MY POINT IS..... When we go riding tomorrow, please everyone be very careful out there especially on the dark damp patches, the conditions are leathal. I know most are really experienced but thought I would share all the travelling Ks I do and what I see out there.

**Stirts** · 19th June 2009, 15:46

dark damp patches are dangerarse

We had ice on our driveway this morning

ICE, COLD TYRES, BLACK ICE, COLD TYRES, MUDDY DRIVEWAYS, COLD TYRES!!! All cause for little tantrums!! teehee I HATE winter!
