    Riff Raff Alert - beware bike shops

    Well today I did a ride with a difference. I rode out to Pukekohe and visited, of all places, a camera shop. I then proceeded to ride around the streets of Pukekohe and never once exceeded the speed limit, indicated for every turn, turned my indicator off after said turn, didn't overtake anyone, and was generally a very well behaved biker. I then returned to the camera shop and left clutching in my hot little hands a piece of paper that tells the world that no longer am I condemned to ride a 250cc motorbike!!
    So this is just a friendly warning to all bike shops that I may be popping in tomorrow or the next day, and I'll probably want to take some bikes out for a ride.
    Does anyone want to buy Bella?

    Congratulations! Welcome to the world of "unrestricted" motorcycling. It's expensive, but worth it!

    Congratulations, Riff Raff! Well done.

    Got any likely replacements for Bella in mind?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yes I was a bit surprised at having to do that but he said it was to gauge whether I was capable of getting my knee down, since it is impossible to do on my current bike! It was really great the way he marched up to the child who was playing on it and flashed his LTSA badge then demanded he get off the thing. There's actually a sign in the park that says all children have to surrender playground equipment if LTSA staff demand it. Wonder how I can get one of those badges? It would be great to get the little bastards off the swings so I can have a play!!
