Rally.... Hmmmmmm Just back form the Cold Kiwi... great weekend

It's been a while since I posted here and plenty of things have changed... My bike got written off at the end of June. I did a superman over the front of the car and walked away with a couple of very minor bruises. I replaced it with another tidy 900 and have just bought yet another one with the plan of having 2 running 900's by the end of the year.

I was a father again 2 days after the accident so have little garage and riding time outside of my commute to work.

Good to see some familiar faces still about

Any suggestions on the date?

Hey this is Black Dog, formerly known as "Status Quo", Blue GS1000 >> I have been living in Melbourne since early October and have not been on the site or in touch so to speak - wondering why the thread stopped? I have the GS at home in AKL in mothballs, plan to return in a year or so (work commitments here). Havent got a bike here - yet, but bought a nice old AP5 to tool around in as traffic was a bit daunting at first but OK now. Can some one direct me to the current thread please. Psy i tried to PM but had to re register and site wont allow yet. Cheers TW

This thread seems to be long gone as you can see by the time between posts. Most gossip and general crap for the BFTP is done in the group section. If you are not able to access the BFTP group pm caseye as he controls the group and membership is required.

Good to hear from you

cheers

Hey mate, havnt seen you since Taumarnui, like Murray said all all the BFTP stuff happens in the group section, Join up and fill us n on what you have been up to

**psyguy** · 18th January 2011, 08:49

Hey there Black Dog aka Status Quo, great to hear from you. As others have said contact Caseye to apply for the membership at the BFTP Riders Social Group pages here at KB. That's where most of the action is these days... although there has been some action on the road as well since the weather picked up

**Black Dog** · 18th January 2011, 22:37

OK thanks will contact Caseye and register. Good to hear from you guys also. Taumarunui run was memorable and enjoyable in hindsight despite me taking an unrelaible machine. It did not die in vain however - the CV carbs and front calipers ended up on the GS, improving it quite a bit.
