You dont ride in the cold and you're calling jimbo "my dear"
Are you sure you're not riding the menstrual cycle up the hershey highway?

Young man, open your mind.

I think you need a hug.

Come to papa.

Well I went to the pub today. Big fire, lots of beer. Pretty damn good if I may say so. As I don't have a bike I'll have to do the same tomorrow.

Find one open showing the GP and push on through!

Dont know how I missed your bin been on here heaps lately trying to avoid study!

How on earth do you drag a teenager outta bed at that hour? All suggestions gratefully received.. will prolly struggle to get myself out, truth to tell..

He got out of bed just fine... unlike me who couldn't find the button to switch off the alarm, or the light switch either, duh!!
He is currently languishing in Akl airport until 1320 hrs when he takes off on his first overseas adventure, while we are stuck here with shite weather, bikes that aren't accessible and still NO BLOODY GARGRE!!

Sunny day and no committments...

Spent the morning cleaning the bike. Plan to spend the afternoon riding with perhaps a break for drinking coffee. Or something.

Crap weather all right. I can barely get the bike in and out of the garage without it arsing over in the mud that is my back yard. So I've made up for it and bought a couple of cars. Oops, am I allowed to say that here?

Just got back. Man I feel so much better for that long overdue ride. The roads were still wet going over the Hill to why-wrap-her late this morning but from 1pm onwards started drying out. Was heading home about 3pm and couldn't pass up the dry Hill so did two more crossings for good measure. Stuff all bikes about though. The teknic jacket does a top job of keeping me warm. Only need to wear light clothes under the jacket no matter how cold it is. Miss my heated grips.

I just got back from a quick play on the Taka's with Darkman (we waved at you MD). The hill was in excellent condition with all but that one corner on the Kaitoke side being damp still.

It had been 3 weeks I think since the bike had started, I was worried I might have been in for a flat battery.

God that feels better.

About 30 secs after you turned off at the roundabout pub a highway patrol car followed mate.

Oh yeah I was in the roundabout pub bragging to the nice bar girlies about what a A grade bike rider I am.

That's why I have the detector Jimbo. Yep it went crazy at the roundabout pub and a quick looksie tells me the signals from behind. Gotta love those Valentines. Couldn't make out in my mirrors any scary cars behind but knew smokie was lurkin. Trouble is it often goes off passing gas stations and shops but not normally that one, so I was suspicious.
And you Laddie! leave our cute Tawa barmaids alone. Go check out those Whitby slags. The roundabouts got some real tasty barmaids in the traditional sense, if you know what I mean.
Now stop perving and get yourself back on a bike next weekend.

Yay!! Mrs H and I managed a quick two-up fang on a Marauder today. What a fantastic bike these things are. We even managed to inject ourselves into a HOG ride at Pauatahanui. There must have been over 30 of them. And just one of us calibrated in mm. I'm surprised those HOG rides don't have more accidents, with a fairly average standard of group riding on display.

This will not be a suprise then?

Whitby girls are a little close to home mate. Never dumb on your own doorstep.

Those two barmaids in the roundabout tavern think that I am Earl Jimbo III. Landowner and Earl of Chipping Norton.

Oh and GP hero.

---kapiti side is all good.

It usually is, especially in a southerly. (thats why we live here )

Unfortunately, having just moved into a new house (well old cottage actually, but new to me) I have spent most of the fine weather cleaning gutters, gardening etc (and watching the ABs of course) I barely got out on the bike for 1/2 hour all weekend. Main consolation is I now have a nice big double garage to put my best toy in.
