Oi, hands off tart, I've already paid for that one!

Probably not a bad idea - I struggle to remember my own name most days...

Well I'm pretty sure my bums not 'cute' but Vicki assures me I'm a total arse so if quantity is more important than quality ????

**merv** · 7th February 2007, 12:24

Where were you Paul - we missed you?

**Lissa** · 7th February 2007, 12:48

Too nice to be faffing about with motorbikes Merv. Vicki and I spent a nice day strolling under trees besides babbling brooks and having a picnic from the back of the wagon. We came home to go for a kayak but decided to have a moi instead followed by a little BBQ - totally agreeable day!

Besides - completely missed that post on the ride - d'oh!

Saw you on SH1 just outta P'ram so only just missed you at Sels.

Bad luck with the Suzuki loan bike, they can cause all sorts of problems when ridden by a Honda rider. Maybe they know something.

Sounds like you did a good job not crashing it as well, and avoiding the speeding girls behind you.

Hope to catch up at your BBQ this weekend.

Thanks Sels for the hospitality, Guess you didn't enjoy the BBQ that much being of vego orientation.

I really enjoyed meeting some of the people behind the names on KB, it was cool riding with so many other bikes of all types. An awesome sight. Great photos Merv and good to meet you and Mrs Merv. Moonshine Road was fun, last time I went through there it was shingle and my brother was trying to impress me with his rally driving skills. Fortunately we did not meet any cars but was I expecting one around all corners.

What a superbe day at the Pie cock lookout. ( how do you spell that dam name ) ELLE help, your the teacher, hey you can growl too, don't park yu bike in the wrong place, no no no, lucky you can't issue us with detentions. harr harrrr.

Lissa I think you have found your niche, its time to start organising the next ride, me thinks Hawkes Bay next time, we have some awesome roads, good wineries, waterfront bars, good weather usually, but not guaranteed.

Summer is going by to fast, its past the longest day by a good few weeks, gotta make the most of summer. Any interest !

You know how it is, we meet a whole lot of people, shake hands and swap names and except for those we've seen a few times, within 5 seconds you can't remember names any more and the real name, site name only confuses things. Maybe its just because I'm about Paul's age I'm starting to lose my memory, but I'll go back and have a look and see what I can add. It would help if those that were there remind me who they are where I leave question marks (?).

I prefer to be anonymous

, and I can't help but call people by their KB name, unless I can't pronounce it!
