Fer shure mate, how is it that life can deliver such high highs and low lows in quick sucession? When I was riding like a care free spirit in the zephyr winds of biking, there were others who had the bottom drop out of their lives in a passing instant ... I honestly think that the Grim Reaper made a mistake that weekend, in his haste to swing his scythe - he did not notice that there were two Bruces. Both who rode their bikes as part of their defining moments to life, he did not read his book of death carefully enough ... and took both of them to the Riding Halls of Valhalla, where they rev their engines with others gone before them.

One hell of a day? Fer shure mate - why is it that we have to know the antithesis of something to know how good we have it?

Not a rant or rave but just something I needed to say after the service today (and one tomorrow..and the day after .. )

I shall ride, and keep learning to ride well safely

Very good write up

How much gravel is left on that road now to the Cape? It has been years since I have been there and curious to know

Cheers

As of today, 19km of gravel remaining.

I have inside information that the gravel will not be there much longer, so if you want to ride on the last remaining unsealed stretch of SH1, you must do it this summer or next.

The dust clouds are a huge safety hazard, so the sooner they seal it the better IMHO.

Totally agree, gijoe. It certainly looks like you're making the most of every day.

I only hope we can all bottle a bit of the feeling that makes us appreciate every moment we have to enjoy the world we live in. We need to remind ourselves sometimes how precious our lives are, and the lives of those we love.

I'll be fanging it down to Wellywood...to a suburb near you! Just changed the oil filter now, did a tighten on the bolts, running check on the electrics, fixed up the tripmeter knob, lubed the running bits, given it a wash and a polish!

Will be good to catch up the Welly crew, just wish it was under other circumstances!

Jinkies! I better tell Meeky_Mouse if she wants to grab her slice of kiwiana legend, she better do it quickly! Dizzam - I better ride out there again ASAP! What next, making bikes with 4 wheels to make them safer? (Oh wait..that's quads...and as for safety )

Probably help if you kept the bike straight as going in a zig zag could cause problems

Only if you become a little over-zealeous on the gravelly bits!
