Must be the house fairy doing the rounds. Got home the dishes where done, house cleaned inside from top to bottem, meal cooked, washing folded, even the recycling/rubbish had been sorted for me to put out this morning.

Note to self- Must go out for long rides more often.

we are going to have to pull that fence down between us so this phantom lawn mower has a little more to do.

You did pretty well, I thought :spudbn: Convinced you yet that crusty old heavy bikes can handle?

Always knew its the old ones you have to watch. To be old and fast they had to survive being young and stupid first- they've had more practise

Glad you all got home safe. Bloody Huey sent the clouds packing after you left ours - typical. Was great to meet some more KBers. A warm welcome is always available at ours (if we are home).

That phantom lawn mower will run a mile if we do that have you seen how long your lawn is

Cheers. One hell of a handshake you've got btw.

Just a wee tip we found out on Hw 50. The Onga Onga dairy has a couple of petrol bowsers. I think the couple running it said they are open 7:30am through to 6pm daily. Guess who didn't gas up at Taradale :eyepoke:

Oh and three of the gang seemed keen on the Napier-Taihape Rd l, well maybe the bikes secretly wanted to go that way . But being the nice guy I am I politely reminded them of the smidgen of loose stone thingamegigs along that route.

Gave Gerty a good look over after work today. A bit of water had gotten under the fork dust seals, reminded me to get some fork gaiters, so I lifted them clean the area with a rag and spray a little WD40 in there. Relubed the chain, a cheapy, which just needs a quarter turn on the adjustment bolts to get the correct tension. Also sprayed WD40 around the engine and carbs. Now she wont get a clean till the weather improves. Has a nice coating of muck and grime to keep any more muck and grime out. Don't forget to tension/lube lil Goosies one Storm or you could be in for some serious repairs if the thing flogs out the engine casings.

Was good to meet you guys yesterday, really sorry about the crap weather we turned on for you - today is a minter-sunny, hot, just glorious, did I mention sunny..
I dunno about you guys, lapsed regos, lost keys and running out of gas as well - more forward planning needed, me thinks..

[Bonez]

- more forward planning needed, me thinks..

I tried to fit the letterbox at the Ashurst petrol station in my pocket, see pics, just in case we got lost. Thinking that when the a postie came to clear it out we could ask directions. Does that count?

Cheers. One hell of a handshake you've got btw.

All that wet must have softened your hand!!! Now, my grandfather...there was a handshake to be afeart of...must have been able to crack Brazil nuts. Me...just walnuts
