    Thanks Hitcher, that'll make today a lot more productive rather than trying to digest a weeks worth.

    Cheers for saving us the seats Cathy, good to see you home safe & well.

    Definitely mate! Sadly though before we can finish the paint job I need to deal to the small amount of rust that has appeared in the tank!

    Blakamin stands like a Colossus as the site's most numerous poster but has relinquished his standing as the most frequent
    A brief flirtation with doggerel/rap has abated

    There's probably more that I have forgotten...

    Now I am having some semi-decent coffee and cuddling my pussy. Will post pics later (no not of my pussy, you've already seen it, of my trip) if they worked out.

    The only road I didn't get to ride was Queen Charlotte Drv b/c
    (a) The weather turned decidedly dodgey just as I arrived on Blenhiem
    and
    (b) My mate noticed my headlight bulbs had both blown and we had to drive back to Blenhiem to get the big one, which took up most of what could have been riding time.

    Oh, I also had the very pleasant company of F5_Dave and his CYT on the Ferry crossing home.
    Sounds like you had a great trip - pitty about the weather, When we were down there in Jan it was fabulous weather. Queen Charlotte Drive was real nice - lots of windy corners and nice view of the sounds etc., oh well next time.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    Good to hear you are back and had such a great time. I bet it won't be long before one is itching to get back on the road again and get another decent ride under ya belt
