    Firstly , and most importantly where was my invite to the bbq. (hehehe) Secondly did it get lost in the mail.
    Thirdly, I see it alot out our way, people just toodling along in there own little world. Im surprised they dont drive straight past their own house.

    I truly believe people forget there are other vehicles on the road. The classic I find is the guy who realises he was supose to turn and just dives left or right depending where he was intending to go. Completey forgetting the vehicles behind him, or believes everyone already knows where he is going. I compare people to horses that have blinkers on (those covers on the eyes to stop horses getting distracted) They are most of the time in their little bubble in their little world, where they only have to look straight ahead.
    I also love drivers who believe they are in a Mack Truck, and swing that big rig into there driveways. Shame its only a Toyota Hiace van.
    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    lol, the xmas bbq was held for residents on my road. You mighta felt out of place unless you had your redbands on, but there was more than enough "good on ya mate"s to go around.. lol. apart from that it was sorta entertaining but i had to take the missus home at 10:30 cos she had the Johnny red speed wobbles. I'll be sure to register Your interest for future barbies tho...
    ..it's another red light nightmare..

    hopefully will have the parts in two weeks but one of those arriving from the US is the tank decal so there will be a delay while i get it from customs to reflections and then painted so its touch and go as to whether it'll be all together before Christmas

    Picture this.........

    Auckland Southern motorway southbound just after the Newmarket bridge.
    6.30 pm Tuesday
    Guy in a light 4WD
    Reading his map trying to work out where to go
    Changing lanes without seeing the motorcyclist
    Can you spot the fuckwit???
    Oh and thats not mentioning the three people I saw within the next 1 km who were on their cell phones

    Luckly said motor cycle enthusiast actually knows to look out for morons like them and avoided all safely.
    Another day succesfully spent avoiding disaster at the hands of an idiot
    But hang on, are we not the ones who get blamed when we crash????
    I'm one of the worlds best riders. I can wheelie, I can stoppie, I can stunt, hell I can get my shoulder down. I could keep up with Rossie if I wanted to race.

    Then I go from bed to bike and somehow it all turns to crap.
