Metzeler Elephant Run to Taupo racetrack 2004

[Deano]

Secondly, when we left the track at Taupo I put on my styley $2 shop poncho thing over my jacket and got it tied up at the back so I wouldn't turn into a kite. Got into Taupo and as I stopped at the second intersection I suddenly found myself sitting inside a small black tent in the middle of the road. As I braked it all just neatly flowed over my head and went down over the instrument panel and turned into a little 'dome of isolation' pitched at the stop sign. I had to just turn off the bike and laugh, must've been funny for the guy that pulled up beside me at the same time.

Wow, rain protection for you and your bike, and for only two dollars.

Maybe you could cut out a visor sized hole in the front of the 'dome of isolation' to see through.......could be onto something there.

Coming soon to your nearest bike shop.

No that ain't me some other cool looking dude.

Good work for organising it Metzeler and F&D people - there were some pretty decent prizes there!

Yeah some nice prizes, what about the canny KB'er that won a new set of tires for his ride eh? Bet he must be stoked

Did anyone notice that when I drew a prize draw I pulled the entry for the KB'er who was standing right next to me? Hmm.. not dodgy at all..

Yeah, yeah - should've used the tape. :eyepoke: I did have my leather jacket - it's just not hugely waterproof, I have got a waterproof one but I left it at home since it was so when I left!
Good on ya for working the draw - you should've fixed me up with some new boots though!
