Bike Whore, I'll ride anything
Well it sounds like another great weekend.
It was a bit strange for me to turn up and then ride home.
But I still had a good day and found out how good the V11 was on a long trip.
I was hoping that it would be as good as my old MKIV and is was.
My day started at about 4am as some of the local girls where laughing as they walked passed my place and just as I was getting back to sleep they can back and this time arguing.
So after an hour (about 5am) I gave up and got up for a cup of tea and started to get ready for my trip and at 6am I was pushing my bike out to the street.
Well to cut it short I stop at Geraldine to have breakfast and top up the fuel tank.
Next stop Omarama for flue and on to the site to just miss some of the crew as they had gone shopping.
So my trip was half way though and I felt good after 460K's and 5 hours on the road.
Stayed on site for a few hours and tried to find this picnic but could not find them as they had to change location.
Because I was heading in the way I came I thought why not head home the same way and miss the traffic and I know what the roads were like.
So I did the same trip and this time I did not stop for food as I had a cooked meal with Nighthawk on site.
So I arrived back home still feeling good but a wee bit tired at about 6:30 pm 12 1/2 hours later hungry and had an early night.
Now I'm real happy with my new bike as I did about 10 hours of riding over a good range of roads and covered about 920k's fully loaded with gear.
The only down side is I may have bought a ticket to the Policeman's Ball on the Omarama to Tekapo straight. Bugger
Feel the fear and do it anyway
Don't confuse education with intelligence.
There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.

The Three fellas from Rangiora, Cust, Oxford
We rolled away from our mid-morning meeting at around 11.30am (I think our Greater leader may have been wonderin’ what if us Temp kiwi bikers get all taken out!!)
We rolled out through the Waimak Gorge, Rakia Gorge, and headin’ toward Geraldine
The need to stop for a Harley sputtering was needed at either Mount Somers or Stavley, do not remember (though there is a guy with a Big Horse, a BIG fist, and quite BIG colour-full words for us three, not that we even did anything)
A stop in Geraldine, to expel, and pretty much straight to the site via main drag.
Got to the site and there was a few there, but a lot less that the Saturday. Decided on a spot after a ride about the site and sitting debating like Nana’s (I hate indecision, but I am firkin good at it)
So first KB’ers to set camp there, ole Phaedrus looped the site a couple of times before I set him in the right direction, then came the Real Ole “Sensible” posse. Other KB’ers soon filtered in. Red Turkey had a pink ended tent, which every bugger was able to trip over the ropes on. It was on all different angle through out the night.
We were donated a bottle of Philipino Rum from a fello manager at work. I am mighty sure it was that that made my sleep on Fri night sleep hell(or it was that mixed with everything else) (or it was those fries that tasted like ass???
)
The little drizzle did not dampen spirits at least.
Shiite there was a heap of peeps on Fri, and a hell-o-lot more Sat (I was surprised to hear of the stealth paddock behind the hedge with more tents. though you would have had to have been into acupuncture for sure with all the prickles/thistles)
Sat day/night was sweet; Red Turkey and I took a ride to Oamaru, where I had the thinnest fish fillet ever. Once I got another drink in me I began to feel better, but fear of the Sunday morning (which was much better than thought).
Pretty good entertainment and all.
That night I happened to trip in some hole which threw my foot into Bushbashers tent rope, I over corrected and slammed me head into that low hung shed, I still got the scab on me head!!!! Thankfully I was not on me bike.
Straight home fairly early Sunday, Bushbasher’s bag opened somewhere on the road, and he lost his M-Hare Mug, (hope no one got there wheel on the glass)
All in all good one, Think me go 08 ….. bloody good, I am tired still and going to bed.
