Hi, guys, well, I'm afraid you missed the action yesterday.
I know it's been a bad weekend for bikers, but I didn't expect to come close to joining them!

A piece of debris from the other bike took me out at about 190kph at the top end of the strip.
A couple of mashed fingertips, assorted grazes and bruises, and (now) a bike that won't be out until next season! Will post some pictures when I get the bike home.

You should have practised a few more dance moves on Friday night, you might have missed the debris if you had.

Happy to hear you are well

Glad you are (mostly) ok, hope your bike isn't too badly damaged.

Awesome! Thanks for that. I am freshly single so could do with a distraction...

I am keen on the Xmas ride, but am still trying to figure out my availabilty. Would it be ok for me to put my name down and pony up the cash, and then just do my best to be there?

The east cape ride - I am assuming the biggest cut off for that would be accomodation? My keeness is only limited by the idea of trying to do 400km's in a day on the Boulevard!

I won't be coming on the ride, but will be at the BBQ (with my daughter).

Crying out for a wee pootle

Okoroire burger looks good??? Anyone keen???

mmm possibly. Either Brooke or I

I won tickets to the racing on Saturday so I'll be going to that and maybe have to catch up on the lawns on Sunday.

Will have a chat with the clan on Monday about the xmas party. Might even get the old man and mummy dearest to go on the ride. Couldn't think of a better way to ride her bike for the first time

Sounds like a nice wee pootle. My pland fell through (well, never eventuated), so I'm keen. I might have to plan in a side trip to Shunter's yard by myself on the way back. Been meaning to go see the place for a while. Only so many beer's you can have with the brewer before you really want to go see the brewery!

--edit--

Not that I'm saying I want to go only by myself, if anyone else tags along (and they are open when we go) feel free!
