Okay, so, to answer the questions...
I haven't disappeared off the radar intentionally, I had about 6 weeks of overseas travel, and then I returned to mayhem at work (which has necessitated no goofing off during work hours. And when I get home, I want to spend time with my dog and the endless list of fucking rennovations...
So, did the trip of a lifetime up to Ew-Rup. After saving for about 1,000 light years, finally had the dosh to head up there. My girlfriend was up in Holland doing research (for some months actually), so I went up there to perhaps show her the light about how great Godzone (and Madbikeboy) were. Surprisingly, a woman who is smart enough to study her PhD, wasn't immune to my charm, and she agreed to come back to NZ with me. I think she missed the dog.
I missed out on the Nurburgring (fucking rain in Germany) on some really cool new toys, but got to see some really weird stuff - mad bikers on naked litres, racing through the Parisian night. The motorcycle stores near the Arc D'triumph. The mad as scooter boys - in Italy, they worship Rossi, and inbetween grabbing their crotch when a female is near, they ride with reckless abandon in the best Rossi style; overtaking on blind corners, usually one hand on their dick.
Germany is pretty cool, but everyone rides like they're on their learners test. Italy is pretty cool, and everyone rides like their asshair is on fire. France is pretty cool, and I'm going to move there with my beloved in the next few years. Since a GSXR and pave mix like oil and h20, I'm going to find me a na-ked.
So, short story long, she said yes, and we're getting wedded in Feb 2011.

It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
MBB, glad to hear you enjoyed yourself immensely and did some life changing experiences! Congratulations and after all the trials and tribulations you have been engaged in, sounds like some excellent progress for you!
Interesting observations you made on your sojourns and it seems like you are getting ready to do the next big best things in multiples!
Good on ya mate, it's a hard road finding the perfect girl and getting your life sorted!

Many Congrats Mike, glad the trip was a success. Wish you all the best. Hope to catch ya track side soon (I hope you are not giving this up ).
Many congrats again, and remember, if you cant come to the party, we will bring the pary to you my friend![]()
Awesome, congratulations! By the way, do you work just off Garfield St in Parnell? I saw someone who looked like you riding down Garfield revving their bike at a slow car in front. I was on my work bike on the footpath.
Oh yeah...
... a light year is a measure of distance. Sorry.![]()
Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

The trip was actually pretty neat. As for the track - I have almost finished the track bike (k5 GSXR6), just waiting on a bolt for the swingarm ($40 odd bucks and 14 days???!!!), and then it will be pretty much complete. As for giving up riding?, no chance. I'll be riding much less on the road though, too many close calls and 8 lives gone...

....er - and your new fiance too, perchance?
and...

'salright - we know some Kiwi boys who ride like that, don't we MBB?
I have already congratulated you and commiserated with her, so I won't repeat myself....
In the immortal words of Beyonce: "Don't ever for second get to thinking that you're irreplaceable"
I certainly hope not - he's promised me a ride on his pint!
I'm glad someone pointed this out first - I'm sure he's well sick of me correcting his spelling and grammar by now
I'm glad you are getting in some practise for parenting. See attached picture for an example of good parenting multi-tasking.
Oh goodie![]()
"I's no' a bobike (motorbike) - i's a scooter!" - MsKABC's son, aged 2 years.
I'm waiting on a swingarm bolt. For the want of a nail, a kingdom was lost... I know a GSXR isn't as cool, pretty, or as fast as a triumph (when it's actually going...), but you'll love my humble little pint around the Nurbur-Downs racetrack (oh, they're in the process of laying the tarmac, looks really great).
As for correcting mi gramma - yuv dun a gud joob off traning mi.
Commiserated with her? And you're my friend???
As for riding with his hand on his dick, he was too busy looking like a slow, wobbly fool. Besides, would he have that much time to do the intensive search required to find that alledgedly under-performing piece of skin...
Now, I am reporting you to CYF's for having the cheek to spread naked kiddie porn...![]()

Ride Report : So today, got up and thought that the weather looked beautiful for gear testing and decided to go to Puhoi for cream tea and scones(very very good btw). Turned out to be the 2nd scariest in my short biking career(less than a year)! Rain was alright but wind was really strong, especially when you get cross winds. Anyway, didn't crash the bike but to my shock horror, toward the end of my ride back to auckland my sodden bavaclava was streaming cold rain water right down in thru my neck and straight onto the t-shirt and my new diadora boots leaked! Any body with any leaky boot experience?![]()
Which red horny passed me today lane-splitting for their communt in the morning?![]()
[QUOTE=TOTO;1129355190]You need to invest in some rain overals my friend
The whole point of getting 100% waterproof gear is generally so that I don't have to get overalls. But.....freaking gear failure!
