I thought I should share this.

This guy thought he had a cool tattoo until he went to jail.

Good ride last night
Sadly Daylight savings will make this in the dark and colder from now on so not sure how many I will do in the winter

In discussions at the pub I said I would start a thread about regular weekend rides so here it is

Check out what I got up to last weekend!

Quote is from DingoZ's "Holiday rides" post......

"So we pulled up in Ngawi, and hopped off the bikes. Next thing Rob comes over map in hand, frothing at the mouth, and doing little jumps, as he has seen the sign to Cape Palliser. Looks at the pair of us and says "do we mind if he goes out to the Cape", as "It would be rude not to"....Sure Rob go for it, says J2, Rob.....Rob....Nope too late he can't hear you any longer Jim, as we watched the dust ploom fade around the corner. Bloody Adventure riders.

So that left J2 and myself to have a cool drink and sit in the shade and chat, until we see's the mighty adventure rider return with a huge grin on his face. Worth the effort.....I think so..

So after Rob has a bit of a break, we saddle up again and head for Martinborough as by now the tum's are starting to growl at not being fed. So back the way we came, and into martinborough, and Toppy's for lunch. Superb as always...

Then it was home time. Back over the taka's I once again took it easy, J2 and Rob dissapeared off into the distance and waited for me at the info centre before Upper Hutt....Quick chat and off our seperate ways.

Just shy of 290km's for the day for me. Total k's on the bike now 2092..

Bloody brilliant way to spend a Saturday... "

Tonight had to be an ATNR record low turnout. Two!
Rob and I had a very pleasant, scenic pootle to the pub.
Dry roads, full moon, crisp freshly washed air and little traffic. What more could a man ask for.
Tide and Mr & Mrs Morcs held the 'drive to the pub' contingent's end up.
Thanks gang for a pleasant night out.

I go away for a few weeks and what happens??

I had every intention of being there last week but after landing at the airport @ 4.30pm and finally getting home at 6.30pm I really had enough...

Guess I better go out for a spin this week (and get the winter gear out ) and re-charge the Viffers battery.
