RF900 blown over in Wellington

[Colapop]

Damn, shes well trained!! Where do I send mine to learn that??

All you have to do is be the man of the house. I treat her with respect and she does the same in return.

Gonna have to agree with Str8 here and call you a pansy...
[I may just be jealous because I have to cook my own tea]

Most women are jealous - I'm pretty damn good.

You're just a big girls blouse then, aren't you?

Actually, no. I'm a nicely ironed, clean, white business shirt, ready to put on after my shower - I haven't worked how to get her to bathe me .... yet.

I hate the wind.

So do I, half the reason I live in Nelson... The other is the many sunny days we have...
Credit though to y'all in Welly that ride in those conditions...

... I haven't worked how to get her to bathe me .... yet.

Keep practising, Grasshopper.
and I'll keep on eye on the obits....

Well, nearly, it was an awsome save by the rider, who ever you are!

Looks like it is a tad windy and I have a headache brewing.

Going home :-)

I saw a transalp parked on that corner opposite dick smiths, was that yours?

Not really too sure what the hobbit thing is all about - do they bathe you?

Of course they will - you just have to entice them with a nice sandwich.

Got home safe - realised after I made my last post that I would probably get blown over on the way home and you could have a good chuckle at that.

But fortunately, got home with only 2 scary bits. Hardly need new pants at all....

Hmmm ... lets see ... ride to work on a shitty day, risk getting the bike blown over, have to carry wet weather gear and store it somewhere at work ... etc or get the missus to drop me off and pick me up after she's cooked my dinner... Tough choice!

Hmm, I rode to work, picked glenn up from Boyles later in the morning and dropped him at his place and then rode back to work. I then rode back up to his after and cooked him and his flattie a roast. Pussy!

[et al]

Bastard winds - I have had a few of my bikes blown over through the years and it is absolutely gut wrenching. I guess because there is no third party involved - just Mother nature you end up blaming yourself for parking it there/riding it at all when you know it was going to be windy/not parking it at a better angle/whatever. Some places in Wellington are worse than others but sometimes you don't get too much choice.
I always wonder what the right thing to do is if you see a fallen bike ie do you pick it up (if you can) in which case it could be blown over again and do more damage, or just leave it there for the owner to find? I think at least posting it on here is a good idea - on the off chance the owner is, or is known to a Kiwi Biker. I think I would like to know about it sooner rather than later if it were mine.

I wonder how many people ran out to their beloved when they read the title of this thread? Plus how would the scooter rider feel?

Picked up a scooter out the back of the BNZ (State Insurance - whatever) centre yesterday. 30 minutes later it was on its side again. I'm now in a similar quandary.

Yup, that is where she lives ... unless I can be bothered to use a bike park...

I'm getting the feeling I ain't gonna like it when I start working in town...... (no more company garage )

Where will you be working in town? Do you have another job or just changing offices?

[Wasp]

Laptop House, Waring Taylor st

Just changing offices, 2 out of the 4 of us techs will be moving back on the 5th December, date as to when me and the other person will be moving back is unclear yet but probably next year. (i might ask for a day in town when the next lunch in planned)

You people have to remember about parking in James Smith Building.
Ride around the barriers, entirely free and under cover. The only catch is that it's not quite as secure, but I've seen some expensive bikes parked in there.
