Ya getting soft you old buggers

wasn't anything wrong with that wee rise, apart from stray RC45s trying to play dodgems with traffic heading out

though I remember a certain SV1000 following me then when i got to the gate it was gone

Will see ya there, 7-8 from Wanganui catching that ferry. I still need to get a ticket, as usual they have sold all m/c spaces, I'll see how I get on.......Festus

Some of you South Islanders want to grow some balls and come up to the 'mainland' to the 'Cold Kiwi'............

I just checked and my balls are still there, and so's my Cold Kiwi badge ... pinned up along side my Brass badges that is. But thanks for your concern though.

Three Jaffa's and a hanger on from Fielding. We hope to make the ferry without having to change our sailing time from Bulls, for a change. But I'm not holding my breath. Why change history.

Hi all. I'm heading to the Brass this year with my dad.....first one. We're meeting in Taupo Tuesday night (staying with my sis) and riding to the ferry on Wed. We're booked on the 6pm one but will try out luck at getting an earlier one (say 12pm). If we can, we'll head to St Arnaurd for the night otherwise stay in Picton. Depending on the weather well decide which way to go from there. If there is anyone wanting to ride with us let me know and we can hook up somewhere. I'm on a ZX9r and the old fella has his ZZR1200. I'm really looking forward to it...probably because I haven't yet experienced the 'I'm cooollllddddd...I'm sooooo bloody cc-c-cc-oooo-lld!" feeling yet

Oh I will...don't worry about that. I'm actually thinking about heated gloves. Does anyone know where I can get some from (And before everyone digs in and tells me I'm soft...I know I'm soft but better soft that hard as ICE!)

....not the $495 ones from Baer either...I'm not $495 concerned about the cold!!! Just a thought anyway if anyone has any bright ideas

I just use those poly prop goves inside me goves, does the trick, if you are that soft
