Sounds like ive missed some great rides, and now just as im getting my bike back, WINTER arrives, leaving little in the way of evening light. sigh. Atleast ill be back on two wheels. A month on 4 was getting a tad boring

So has he taken the bike back to TeAroha or is it still in CHCH?

Meh licences are just a technicality. I had one about 13years ago but had abit of a run in with johnny law and a judge decided that I should have mine taken off me and resit from scratch.

Ah the good ol days of reckless abandonment.....

After riding without my bit of paper for so many years i never got around to sitting it again and since I've joined the military its kinda needed now.

I've just finished the mechanical rebuild of my bike and its all registered and almost pretty again. Need to get a couple fairing pieces to make it look a little better. For the record bike vs stupid ass teenager that can't look when running across roads. Bike WINS!!! but breaks

The license issue is a work in progress and after I've sorted out a handling cert i'll go get it not a problem at all.

Get in touch with some of the clubs. Their are weekend rides all the time. On Sunday there was about 35-45 bikes that all went to Hamner together - PMC, CKMC, SGC, Fred's Busa club (name..?), few friends of friends and some KB people. Some us have been getting some club on club action as people start dropping off with the winter coming weather. Always good to be out with a new group in amongst your own group.

Nice ride, few even went for a swim. Really really warm in Hamner.
