Good replys Merv, though I might have got a few that took me seriously - doh! now they'll all know i was just kidding
P.S., did a search under "gargre" and two of the four hits I got were for KB!!!

If I remember correctly, the word "gargre" was first used by Sk8R Boi as he mangled a posting, when referring to his garage. Hitcher then used it, and from there it started to spread.Originally Posted by scumdog
It would be good news to me if you North Islanders could tell me where I could get hold of one of those "gargre" things that are mentioned a lot and what they are used for, seems like quite a few of you have one so they must be popular
But I could be wrong.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

A most excellent summary. "Gargre" seems to have found its way quite happily into the KB lexicon!

Well for me the good news is that the bad weather is set to continue on and off for the rest of the week so I have a good excuse not to clean my bike just yet...

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

The rider is a relation of a workmate of Re-cycled and me, and as at yesterday he was in a very bad way indeed.
Celtic6/Gini: congrats on the impending arrival!!
Marty: congrats on the new arrival.
Merv: enjoy your four days off - but hey, no photos of blue sky, warm sun, and white sand to taunt us with this time eh?
Good news for me? There's four bikes in our gargre, we're both alive, both have jobs to put gas in the tank, and Daytona hot grips will soon be ordered for the M1000. Life could be far worse.
Being frustrated is disagreeable.

Thanks for the update Lynda and I see in the paper this morning he was quoted as being a 42 year old from Masterton and alive. So there is good news our biker brother is still breathing.
This weekend I'm not leaving the country so if I venture up North a bit (e.g. Desert Road ) it might be snow photos, who knows.
Wairarapa Times-Age had this to say about the biker:
A Masterton man, 42, was yesterday airlifted to Wellington Hospital after sustaining serious head and chest injuries in a crash 3km south of the Mount Bruce summit on State Highway 2. The crash happened when the man, the rider of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, rode into the rear of a Toyota Hi-Lux driven by a Wairarapa woman. The incident took place at around 1.45pm on Sunday afternoon. The injured motorcyclist was flown to Wellington Hospital by the Westpac rescue helicopter where he was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit. A spokesman for the hospital described his condition as “critically ill”. Sergeant Mike McRandle, of Masterton, said the collision is still under investigation by the force’s serious crash team.
Cheers

The newspaper report omitted to report what happened to the Harley...

Played with old triumph bits last night... Crank looks OK (50/50 in at the engineers today) but I should be able to rebore the barrels and the rods look useable.. YIPPEE! It was FUN!
I have a nice new plastic tool box for my electrical repair bits and bobs, liberating the old one for all the special engine tools like cam wheel pullers and stuff. Made the bench a lot tidier.. Cool!
I washed the Guzzi and will give it a polish tonight! I enjoy that! Might have a beer and listen to some shed music while I do it! (something to look forward to)
It's payday (for Vicki) and we have enough left to waste some on gas and entertainment... GREAT stuff! I won't spend TOO much time in the shed tonight... No KIDS, a loving partner and few morals means MUCH enjoyment....
The dog is feeling a LOT better so she is no longer on death row! (yippee) The vet was useless but the guy at the kennel was a saint.
Life is good!!!
Food in the cupboard, booze on the shelf, nice old bikes to fiddle with, a ton of you beaut music to entertain me, a house full of books I've only read once, a warm dry bed and a willing woman and we can't get pregnant.... What more could I want?????

Good news!
Taking off from home this morning, on cold tyres, wet asphalt, accelerating in second, the FahrtSturm spun up and started to slide across the road.
But I didn't lowside/highside/fall off/crash/panic !
Twas a bit of an anticlimax, actually....
