    gijoe1313 and Gremlin invade the Mainland!

    Well, the dawning of a new year is not upon me yet ... I have had several restless hours of sleep as I eagerly anticipate the riding to be done ahead!

    This is ninjalog 1 ... to go boldly where I have not pootled before, to explore new vistas, encounter new people and experience new experiences! To expect the unexpected!

    I have stowed and stashed 95% of my equipment and now await the arrival of my earstwhile riding companion ... Gremlin. I shudder to think what surrealistic and Kafka-esque adventures we shall ride into!

    My Big Ol'Hornet has been serviced, lubed, washed and polished. Parental units have been farewelled and I have started this thread to cement my thoughts and other diatribe into as I have time to enter.

    Riding. A nice longish, riding holiday for me, oh boy oh boy oh boy!



    This is a link to the photos I took and have so far processed! http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=90415

    And a tribute to the KBer known as Gremlin http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=90405

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Bloody marvellous, have a wonderful time GI. I wouldn't presume to advise a long distance motorcycling maestro like your self but beware the camper vans and if ya see something worth looking at, stop and enjoy it mate.

    I'm so jealous, God speed.
    Oh bugger

    May you not have to cast your eyes upon Scum Dog in an unclothed state and may the roads be endless corners. PHOTO's

    Riding to the Welly of Wood to get to the Picton Boat

    Well, the day was just made up of great riding. The early start meant the roads were clear and dry with the weather bowing to the will of the biker gods.

    The soaring majesty of God's own land laid its panoramic magic upon our sight. Lush was the land, green was its suit and fresh was the air we breathed in.

    The cagers were quite well behaved overall, except for the one where I nearly became a hood ornament in the pie cocks!

    Gremlin made a nuisance of himself by scaring cagers willy-nilly by doing his "crazy ivans" on his Katoom o'doom. We made good time from Auckland to Taihape, we had an early lunch stop to refresh Gremlin (who had NO sleep prior to our trip!)

    I'll let him tell his story :slap:

    I had several equipment malfunctions where the frikk'n Ventura rack (which I didn't want in the FIRST place ... but certain cretins confided in me that it was necessary to have!)

    fell off! Fortunately through blind chance and lady luck the pack was dangling and I managed to pull over a couple of times. Once by two rozzers at Desert Road and the other by Tokora. At Taihape, I pulled it apart and reinstalled it using the patented Honduh cheap arse tool set!

    Anyway Pie cocks at Wellywood was good since we missed an earlier sailing and had to go by our original berth. Had a good meal on the boat, lasagne and Gremlin fell asleep. Poor lad he was tuckered out.

    So now enscounced at Picton in a backpackers retreat I pen this missive from a laptop using a Vodafone airmodem when we could not get free wireless internets.

    If you accidently let slip that you're from Auckland to one of them shoulder chip overloaded lot down south, they'll probably call you a 'jafa', to which the correct response is '"What's that?". Wait until they explain the acronym before saying "Oh. Never heard that one before". It really tears their nighties when they think their 'insult' doesn't even reach us!
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    Jaffa is a kind of orange. It's seedless. Back home we call blokes that can't conceive or can't get it up Jaffas. Gerrit? Seedless - can't conceive babies
    Seems you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder though - shame, the mainland is simply gorgeous. I used to live in Auckland, I much prefer it down here.

    See you soon GIJOE1313 and Gremlin.

    No no...Jaffas are those chocolate coated sponge bickies with sweet surgary orange jelly inside.....maybe that is the same thing....
