    pre·sume (pr-zm)
    v. pre·sumed, pre·sum·ing, pre·sumes
    v.tr.
    1. To take for granted as being true in the absence of proof to the contrary: We presumed she was innocent.
    2. To constitute reasonable evidence for assuming; appear to prove: A signed hotel bill presumes occupancy of a room.
    3. To venture without authority or permission; dare: He presumed to invite himself to dinner.
    v.intr.
    1. To act overconfidently; take liberties.
    2. To take unwarranted advantage of something; go beyond the proper limits: Don't presume on their hospitality.
    3. To take for granted that something is true or factual; suppose: That's the new assistant, I presume.

    as·sume (-sm)
    tr.v. as·sumed, as·sum·ing, as·sumes
    1. To take upon oneself: assume responsibility; assume another's debts.
    2. To undertake the duties of (an office): assumed the presidency.
    3. To take on; adopt: "The god assumes a human form" John Ruskin.
    4. To put on; don: The queen assumed a velvet robe.
    5. To affect the appearance or possession of; feign.
    6. To take for granted; suppose: assumed that prices would rise. See Synonyms at presume.
    7. To take over without justification; seize: assume control.
    8. To take up or receive into heaven.

    Pretty much, assume supposes something to be the case, without proof.
    Presume supposes that something is the case on the basis of probability; take for granted that something exists or is the case.

    Ha that's awesome! Squiggles and I and maybe Slyer are thinking of heading down sh22 raglan way and perhaps further on depending on gravel amount etc... Don't think we want a big group or anything but I'm sure you can jump in on the fun! PM Squiggles and he'll give ya the details when he's decided them.

    Are you going to pillion?

    I thought the plan was to do a few hundred kilometres at the very least.

    Is that the map Steve was looking at on his CrapBook at Strata?

    I won't be there anyway, because a) I'm the SMC's least sociable member and b) the ex is having her birthday.
