Each of those incidents should have ended in the weeds and/or A&E, to make it though 4 is a gift.

So... tires been changed, undies been removed from my butt, brains been rebooted.

Nope that is the bikers guardian angel,as my ma in law gave me a badge saying "never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly".

Valley Rd, Papatawa is always good, nice to ride past my parent's place - just like we did on Sunday

. I even gave them a wave.

Think they'd like 20 or so bods to pop in for a cuppa?

I might have to warn them if we did that. My mum likes my bike (which surprised me after I got it), but 20-odd all at once might be a bit much!
