Ha I'm sitting on about 7k on the vfr. Which is pretty lame as there is a big hole in the power from about 6-8. Down shift 2 or 3 times to get the proper motivation..

So can I please see a show of hands, who's keen for a slow, corner wobbling h00n tomorrow ?

Am keen,had my xmas pressy yesterday,doing 120ish on HW50(beaut day and cruising along)cop heading towards me and in a hurry,as I saw him pass a car and he had other stuff to do,whew,and hit the gorge,no cars to see in front,best trip through so that capped a great ride.

I would have been keen but its been one of those surreal days. Christmas shopping and other odd stuff which didn't finish til 7. Got the Tiger back at least, said to ANZA I must stop making these insurance claims and two mins later some dick nearly takes me out on the Rangitiki St bridge. I was in the right lane, he in the left when he just blantantly cuts right across the road in front of me forcing me to brake hard and nearly hit him twice. Really felt like booting his door in but really didn't need the grief.

Went out for a play after the rain and had some fun doing rolling stoppies and Seat Standup wheelies in the wind. As long as you can predict the force of the wind gusts its not as hard as I'd have thought to compensate... entertaining to say the least though!

Cemetery Circuit, here we come!
