does he do work on toy triumphs?

Doubt it.

Need to update your trademe ad Ducatilover.

Ah, yes. Thanks

Hope you changed that rear tyre before you let Maria out on it,

She rode after you saw Lance swearing changing my rear. The old Supercorsa Pro is 10 times the tyre of that Diablo, even worn!!

She did really well on the 675 too!

Going test riding tonight with Mariazinha and her potential new 02 Aprilia RS250... The thought of her in that weapon, 50% scary/50% exciting!

It will be nice to see you two out riding tandem. I hope the ride goes well, it's out there.

I can't wait for the next instalment - Sly, the pillion.

Went well. She was yaahooing almost as loud as when she rode the 675, after getting over the 2 stroke powerband shock! That thing pulls way hard from 9000rpm on up! She was scarily good on it too!

We ride every couple od days together on 2 bikes after work and on the weekends, so nothing new there.

I can't wait for the next instalment - Sly, the pillion.

As for being a pillion on a 2 stroke... ahhh no. Not just yet. The Aprilia has a solid rear sloping plastic seat to discourage anyone even THINKING about getting on the back.

Ever.

Hey guys, I aint spent much time online of late cos I have to use cyber cafes...But I am back down home now and it is good. Had a real rough crossing on sunday 31st, waves were huge....was a 1 o'clock sailing, and it took 4 1/2 hours to cross...Was snowing in the sounds andf also going out of Blenheim thru to L. Grassmere...heaps of slush on the Kaikoura Rd...
Been back for a week and am already feeling better...Had a great night on Friday night catching up with KBers down here, and was good to see Selwyn and Gareth too...met a lovely lady there that has helped me through this weekend......nuff said on that front (p.s, dont tell unohoo), but it is all good, and I look foward to seeing you all at the cold duck next year....

Good stuff Bren, sounds like the universe is aligning for you quite nicely

Well done on Maria's bike there Sly!

Well have the next 3 days off but doesnt look like the weather is going to play ball to start with.
But hope to get also some kms ridden over the next 5 days.

Final exam tomorrow for my current paper and my lovely neighbour just happens to be having a party this weekend which coincides nicely with a much need letting down of the hair!!
It will be great for us to `jump the fence`and celebrate his B'day etc.....and not far to stumble home in the wee hours

Have a good break Carmen and hope you get a few hours on the bike-coffee tomorrow

Unfortunately it looks like you might have to wait 'til the weekend..
That is if you don't want to ride in shitty weather.
