I think I'll sit and watch the telly for a while, and when I can get the chance I'll be on here.

So you are not going out riding tonite. It is only a wee bit of rain........

No thought I'd give it a miss. There's this huge pond just down the hill from us that if I rode through I'd need a snorkel.

Went down to Milton today - see the photos from outside the Caltex Garage. Lots of side streets well and truly flooded

I've just come back from the Uni - the Leith is lapping the top of its banks, and going like a bat out of hell.

Hi guys,

I see that young Mr Delphinus will be celebrating his twenty-first birthday next week. I reckon that would be a perfect reason for another get-together, to mark his "coming of age" (is there such a thing these days???).

How about meeting up for a pub meal? If we can combine it with a weekend ride, even better (blurdy weather permitting of course).

Venue - open to suggestions - perhaps Waihola?

Date - again open to suggestion (and popular vote) - but perhaps within two or three weeks?

I'm aware that Delphinus may not be riding at that stage - perhaps we can hire a mobility scooter for him?

If everyone is keen, we can start a new thread to organise it.

I went for a ride down to Dunedin yesterday, the only bikes I saw down there were in the motorcycle showrooms!

Hello,.....cooee,..............is there anybody there?

Passed two riders heading North, on the way down, nothing at all, on the way back.

Some of the back roads were still closed and made the ride, well, interesting in places!

Really enjoyed the ride down and back and yes, the Tiger ran like a charm, shit I like that bike more every time I ride it!

It's starting to loosen up a little now and I have to keep asking myself, "what bloody gearbox!"

It's like an automatic!

Cheers John.

How did you manage to mention but not mention... very clever I must admit...
