    Today... I live for the moment!!

    Hi gang,

    Well, the weeds are rampant, the house is in dire need of a paint, hoovering needs to be done, sink is full of 3 day old dishes, got visitors coming tomorrow night... and do I give a fuck!!

    Went for a scratch instead. Up Waihi Hill, past Kuratau Turnoff, heading towards Taumarunui. Turned left at Manunui and took the back way to National Park. Stopped at BP National Park for usual pie, sandies, fizzy and magnum. A Ducati rider coming up from Wellies stopped to fill up and had a bit of a natter. He saw 3 HP, got stopped by 1 but was warned and let off (the jammie barstad).

    Shot off and did a quick shoot up to Whakapapa Ski Fields (a few visitors up there).

    After the 8,000k service the bike is going sweet. The virus it was suffering was due to a loose spark plug. Incorporated into service, no additional charge.

    I am rejuvenated. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

    Yeah, Spannerman Chris Mitchell over in Taupo. But I took that little bit of advice like I viewed my 3 day old dishes. Don't worry, I've had previous helmets fall and crack before when I slapped em on the handlebar... I don't fucking learn.
    :spudwhat:

    Why you got a helmet deal going on?

    Aye, aye Capn!

    Go North this time I think. Not too sure where. Just point the nose and twist the wrist. I'll take the spirit capturer too. Ever since the Tsunami disaster occurred, any excuses I may have had for not getting off my butt to do things (bar the dishes, the vacuuming, the weeding, the painting, the laundry (which reminds me new underwear... ), the {insert your own word here} just went down the shitter. I know I can't solve the world's probs so my own koha through Telecom and the occasional thought about the victims now and then... the rest of the time I honour those victims by not squandering my own time which I treasure by doing something I really enjoy... striding my ride and hitting the road. I really dig it!!

    Ride while the sun is here, the hoovering and laundry is not the most important priority, the dirty dishes should be arranged on the lawn and washed down with the garden hose (or pressure cleaner), then time for riding again!
