I been watchin that site over the past week, and forever changing.... just like the weather!!!
sure hope the weather tomorrow is as it says, cause day right sucked, was out for a compulsary work ride, and that fine drizzle is a blinder, and damn it, made the bike all dirty adding that with a shingle road, washed it in the rain (me wife thought I was mad), doing so has probably jinxed tomorrow mornings ride.....

Man that Arthurs Pass ride was shit. Road works all over the place. Came out at Jacksons some road works there. Another stretch just short of Athurs Pass and there was a third stretch somewhere but can not remember where. If any one has someones cell # tell the lads to come back the way the went. Espeacialy if it is wet.

Ahhh it was nothing, anoying all the same.


Well then, yet another freaking awesome weekend thanks to you lot.
Headed out of Chch towards the Lewis pass with 10 other bikes and encountered some misty drizzle but thats as bad as the weekend went weather wise. There were some shitty road works on the way talk about mess the bikes up... ahh well it wasn't like I was not going to wash the bikes when I got home anyway.

Lunch was Reefton and my very own pub “Dawsons saloon” it was an great wee spot nice tucker and cold coke... then idb rocked up on the newly refurnished SD Darmah so I took it for a spin, very smooth and for the size/weight of the thing it felt very light to ride... I loved it cheers idb.

The ride into Woodstock was a minter, man the west coast is just sweet on a fine day, just something about it aye.
At the Rally things were reorganised compaired to other years with the back paddock being out of service and the bar, band & food stalls over the rd and up the bank, great idea.

Tea time was at the Woodstock pub, where I had the hugest white bait pattie I have seen... and it even had white bait in it.
Lemans was looking rather cheerful for him and wandered out side, well thats the last most of us saw of him for the day as he promptly fell on his arse and crashed out under a tree... piss head.

Back at the rally and the usual rally shit was going down. The tank display was a flop compaired to last year, not sure what went wrong there. I had a awesome time and even out lasted Scumdog... he wandered back to the camp, hanged his southern donger out in a rather embarressing display for a man of his stature, slashed on the nearest Harley (LOL his) and carked it for the night.

Sunday morn... yip theres that rally morning feeling, packed up buggered off to Hokie for breakie and headed home over Arthurs.
The roads were in the shittiest state I have ever seen them in with some rather bad shingle being used and somewhat deap, worst part was Porters, but it proberly didnt help that it was blowing a gale aswell. But I didnt bother me all adds to the experance of riding.

Now, Im looking forward to some rather revealing photos but for the mean time heres mine.

1) my pub
2) idb's ride
