    Thumbs up My new secondhand baby

    Well I couldnt wait any longer.... I was looking at a GSF1200 on trade me but the owner wasnt very helpfull so I ended up Buying a RF900 instead.
    Not as quick as my old ZXR but she goes quite nice.
    went for the go fast Red. Great ride past Warkworth and back even with the rain and showers. Lots of slow traffic heading back to Auckland but the ride was worth the trip.
    Was going to drop in to see Anne and Maha but one of my girls got a bit car sick so Sorry guys.
    Feels great to be on a bike again.
    Police has put me in the clear at last with the crash. Was the truck drivers fault.

    You have a proven psychological advantage and a greater likely hood of winning if your colour / team colour is red.

    (I even saw it on discovery it must be true )
    Cats land on their feet. Toast lands jamside down.
    A cat glued to some jam toast will hover in quantum indecision

    Curiosity was framed; ignorance killed the cat

    Fix a computer and it'll break tomorrow.
    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    Huh.
    Mebbe that's what's wrong with me.
    Although when I went to get a coffee a few minutes ago, and saw my beautiful blue machine in the sun, it made me feel pretty good.

    Use some planks, bricks, tiedowns etc to hold the bike up, then remove wheels and take em round to cycletreads on the shore

    He's got a veritable mob of children - could just leave them holding the bike off the ground while he pops over to Cycletreads with the wheels?

    You're more than welcome to come grab my trailer, and then take the bikes to cycletreads...
    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.

    Presumably the children's names are all "Jack"?
    Boom-tish!

    OK, I'll get my coat...

    Nice bike

    I think you need some sort of licence with that many kids.

    Your daughter seemed enamoured with bikes - may have to teach her

    If you need a hand transporting I can offer assistance. Working in GI this week have car w/towbar etc.....
