    Thank you for your very nice comments Chris.

    I have followed you before but only for a short period. Yesterday, I followed you properly to see your riding and I am speechless...

    Here's how good this guy is... On a road he has never ridden on, while pissing down with rain, he kept a very respectable pace while he was in front of me. This is the tight and twisty road where I wanted to see him in action on. I could not believe my eyes of how the skinny lil tires of his RG where holding up in the rain in the corners while my Rennsports were telling me to slow the f*ck down! It took some great skill and talent to ride the way he did. I have talked about getting my knee down in the wet but I can only do that when the road is just wet and not raining with very cold temperatures. Yesterday, it was very cold and it was raining so I wasn't even close to getting my knee but I did manage to witness our legend, TS getting his knee down! I couldn't believe it man... YOU ROCK!!

    Yeah I dunno what it is about those RGs. I found myself being more careful in the wet since I upgraded to the four hundy. I guess weight has a lot to do with it. Good on ya TS, sounds like you had a primo day! Any time I am able to get north I'd love to have a ride with you guys! One day...

    Hey I'm not pissed, as had u been going slower, you might have spoilt our fun just behind you!
    You had to take advantage of the almost bone dry roads, they were far and few between yesterday.

Most of all every rider was wearing the maximum safety gear they could, mountains of leather and armour everywhere. The fast riders always stopped and waited for the slow riders, and i didn't see a hint of bad attitude all day, i ride like an absolute nana in the wet and i didn't hear one complaint. I for one am really enjoying the kb rides (just a shame they're always wet!) Now, if only i wasn't the only chick on these rides, hint hint girls.
    Give me another couple of months to get the little gixxer going!
    Glad to here you lot got home safely after an adrenalin charged wet ride.
    Sudeep, Madandy still raves about your riding on the Waikato run.
    Be safe.

    hahahaha...thanks TS. Ummm good to be at the other end of the scale. If I could ride with half the skill of you and MR I would be one happy duck Needless to say I am working on it !

    If ya got 2 wheels be it slow or fast and it brings a smile to your face it aint been half a bad day or ride. The more I tag along with you young fellas the more I learn.

    Yep, TS, I am keen. I'll definetly have the TZR250 working by then. My lovely Sports Demons that I haven't used up much have already gone all blue on me

    Quasie said he'll organise one so we can just plan for that one. Last ride was pretty damn good and very well organised. I loved the bit when he had prepaired photocopies of the map for everyone.

    What you do on one wheel is just unreal man!

    With gusty winds and rain (typical stormy conditions) you were doing one foot stand up wheelies! That's just out of this world!

    Couldn't agree with you more MR, as you know I was on my limit especially when we hit that crosswind somewhere near Bombay area
    Then it came pretty close 2 or 3 bends later
    Thats what it's all about having fun
