    What's up with the lack of bike shops in Wellies?

    I'm mean, Palmie's got 4 good shops for a population of around 80,000. Wellington has Wellington Motorcycles. Yet on my commute from CBD to Trentham each day I see tons of riders. Where do you all good for good road riding gear and servicings?

    Maidstone Yamaha UH.

    I wonder if Tumbles got his feet in his mouth in some sort of episode of rolling down a hill and so called himself "Tumbles"? It's possible you know.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Sweet, cheers I'll check these out. As for the nickname, it has nothing to do with falling over whilst drunk, crashing or anything like that.

    Although the way some of the cagers down here cut you off beside cheescutters, tumbling is what my remaining jibblets may well be doing across the other side of the motorway away someday soon!
