    Credit where credit's due.

    During my riding over the weekend (Saturday - Taupo to Cold Kiwi, Sunday - Cold Kiwi to Palmerston North for the Phil Turnbulls auction , and then back to Taupo) I saw a particularly large number of motorcyclists on the road.

    I don't recall seeing a single incident that I'd describe as stupid riding.

    (At the Cold Kiwi might be a different story).

    Shit.

    Did Katman just jump the shark?

    Or was it the rest of the world?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
