    ARRGHH! Going stir crazy with this bloody weather

    Shit this cold and rain is driving me mad with bike withdrawal symptoms. getting the shakes and need a fix . Feels like weeks since I had a decent weekend blat. That'll be because is has been weeks.
    Today's no better. Right now it's a beaut blue patch of sky and warm sunshine teasing me that it's all about to clear. But you can see there's always another front about to to piss on us.
    Guess it's worse for the poor buggers down the South island. Doubt they're having a great day at the Manfield track either.
    Maybe tomorrow...yeah right.

    Shame bike needs steering head bearings, a front disc and a rear disc before I get the WOF!

    Jeez. At least you can go in the garage and talk to your bike mate. All I got is a pillion seat, pillion footpegs and a busted indicator where a nice K6 600 used to be.

    Personally I'm glad the weather is shit as the last thing I want is you lot posting about mint rides.

    Next weekend though..........well that will be another matter!

    Well the weather in Auckland is lovely and sunny - would be a nice day for a Winter ride, except I'm working. Bah bloody humbug.

    That's about all I've been doing, god it hurts!!! It's clean (apart from the finger marks and drool) and ready to be ridden anytime the weather decides to be kind.
    So, are you just about back on the road jimbo?

    At least you've got a gargre - we don't even have that! Bikes are stored at a neighbours and weather is shite, cold windy and showery.. mutter, mutter..Ah well, no time for riding anyways as hXc has a gig tonight so we must act as drum carriers, technicians and chaperones again at some strangers party.. then drag hXc outta bed at 5 am to be at the airport by 6 so he can get to New Caledonia - aaaah, a week's respite. 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..
