I’d love to go but probably the best I can do is go on the round trip, catch up with you guys at Lawrence, Cromwell etc, meal, and down to otematata , then home on the same day. My missus has got health issues, and if I stay the night, the moment i get back home, i'll have health issues

Thats a big day trip but better than not going and at least you'll have a chance like the rest of us to put names and KB'r names together with faces (mmmm maybe I should keep my helmet on)
Would a ride as a pillion for your Mrs help the health issues??????????

No, she can't even get down to the local supermarket now, in a very bad car accident, broken bones from asshole to breakfast time. the movement just in the car alone is too much for her now. she loved on the bike too. the injurys she got will only get worse, not better. so, as you can imagine i enjoy my laughs on K.B. i don't get a hell of a lot these days...

And people say bikes are dangerous!!. Thats a bucket of bad luck mate and I hope things do eventually get better rather than worse. Hopefully she'll encourage you to take a few trips even though she can't go - its terrible when an accident like this completely ruins things for both partners, even though both have to make some changes and in your case no doubt she needs you to help a fair bit.
If the day is a good one that round trip will be a magnificient ride

Sorry - looks like I will have to bow out of this one. Looks like I have work on the 9th. New jobs have a habit of doing this to me.

But hope you enjoy this one an I will try and get to the next one

What about coming up and meeting us on the Sunday? Even if you don't go to Mt Cook we could meet you at Omarama.

Doing a computer site upgarde in Invercargill - trying to guess when that will finish is like pissing in the wind.

If we finish on the Saturday it is likeluy top be a late nighter so by the time I travel back up the Queenstown to pick up the bike I am likely to ne knackered.

If all goes well I will try for a day trip but will have to play it by ear

Maybe, just maybe I'll be able to be a sociable bstard for a change and join y'all. Mrs Biff will have to be in tow though, as I'm using up my annual jolly pass for the Nelson ralley this weekend.

It's either with you guys or Islamabad. Hmmmmm, decisions decisions.

Get your sorry leek-loving Wesh arse down there - tell Mrs Biff I'll come up and stay with you for a week unless she sends you down to this monumentous KB get together.

Don't put yourself out there, it's only been a year since I saw you last

I've become a right anti-social barsteward of late. Works been a ball breaker. Then there's the kids, oh and a morris minor (don't ask....i was bored).

But a chance to finally see SD's infamouse moustachio in the flesh........
