Wot? both of them? Sorry to hear that mate - that sux.
But remember "This too shall pass"

Shit that does suck. Can't you just sell one and share? I feel for you...

But a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do cause if a man dont do what a mans gotta do then what a mans gotta do wont get done

Got a buyer for the Bandit already, but yeah, both have to go for now.

Too hard on one income. Might have to put the Mrs to "work"...

So stop and have a beer around the fire.

Should be able to notice us with a strange mixture of bikes

Honda SP1
Honda CBX650 Cop bike
Kawasaki GPZ400

Cheers

Taking Friday off work and travelling up in the early afternoon. Anyone from the mighty Manawatu want to travel up with an old bugger on an un-sprot bike

**grantman** · 17th August 2006, 22:05

We always take the friday off work to ride down
So you have plenty of time to enjoy the ride and not freakout that your going to get there and put up your tent in the dark!

Over the last few years we have learnt to take Monday off as well as this is our recovery day.
I tell you that recovery day is GREAT
wife goes to work ....kid goes to school ..........you go to sleep

Awesome

and we used to live in a wet cardboard box in the middle of the M6,and you think you've got it bad!

Havnt been to a cold kiwi for quite a few years, must be time for another, those fire works sound good. Ill problery leave Hamilton friday lunchtime-ish. Put in a order for a KB beanie with my username on it, if im lucky it`ll arrive in time, other wise ill be the fool wearing red white and black summer race leathers, staggering around holding a beer, drooling over the bikes and grinning like a hyena on laughing gas.

I had forgotten about the fireworks

Shit I must have been hammered by then,

I'll look out for you in your racing suit and drooling!

should be a great weekend
