Well Steve you must have thought about your ride before you take off to Philip Island you lucky bloke. What happened W saw you talking to Steve you watching the races. It was nice to get out though, Lance came to Napier but was a bit reluctant to take the Max to far as it is not still 100%.

Good ride, what wind!!! thanks guys. Enjoyed the ride fully expected you both to pass on the way back. That corner just south of the gorge caught me out though. Must watch that better next time. Caught up with Johnno
(Vstrome) on way back, he just said "Bugger" Cheers guy's. Working next weekend, so hope the weather's good for you all.

Be carefull, its horrendously windy here now.

You were not kidding about the wind. I have not been in wind that strong and we had it both ways from the Rimutakas. It would have been a brilliant ride but for the wind but was still a great ride and what better way to spend a Saturday. We love SH50. It is about time I moved back to the Bay.

I saw you BigG. Bloody nice bike that one mate. I can't ride at 1.30 cos I have to be home at 2.30 to get the cows done. I zoomed out for a ride to see if the new Cam chain adjuster was working ok. Sure is by the way. And who should I see at home.... yea W so I had to drop in and see what he was up to. I have ridden in the wind in the last few days and it is not all bad. just keep the speed below 200 and you are fine.... Bloody wimps...... ooops sorry Chicky......

Yup was a good cruise today. Really nice. Its amazing how sheltered that road is from the wind.

Nice bike G. Goes really well.

Yo Dave you riding well. Dont worry we all make mishaps. You will learn from it.

SPEED KILLS
Drive a Holden and live forever

Q: How is a golf ball different from a Holden?
A: You can drive a golf ball 200 yards

If one or more of these is true, unfortunately, you are driving a Holden...

You look in your rear-view mirror to see two people with their hands on your tailgate.
You constantly receive sympathy cards from the LTSA.
When you are walking across the parking lot, you see a priest performing last rights on your car.
While stopped at traffic lights, other motorists offer to help push to get you started again.
You have preferred customer status at Repco Auto Parts.
You have to stop along side the road at least once a day to pick up parts that have fallen off.
You leave your keys in the ignition and a $20 bill on the dash for gas money in hopes that someone will steal your car.
When you drive though town, people stop what they are doing and just start laughing.
In place of a spare tire, you find a pair of running shoes
