    That was funny, cause I did not instantly recognise her bike, as she let a car and I past, it was not until I see you, that I realised.

    Still is -7 as I speak - waiting for the frost to melt on the roof sos I can get up there and fix it.

    And the Tequila Sunrise ain't been out for a few days either.....too much ice/rain/snow but is nicely polished (and got other 'toys' to drive)

    well its still cold here, but the sun is out and its gonna be a beauty of a day... I guess at least we get to see the sun, and no rain for a week now, dunno what those forecasters are up to but we had a great weekend, albeit a wee bit chilly.
    How are the other toys??

    Had "the lorry" out two weekends ago and had a ball - cruise to Invers Friday then Tuatapere & Te Anua and home on Monday, about 700km or so, great cruising and a fine winter morning at Te Anau is tops

    Don't ask about the fuel used though......

    19mpg average - not bad for 7 litres eh?

    But cruising speed was way down due to travelling in convoy.

    Still, woulda enjoyed a blat to Akers agian on Tequila Sunrise just as much...

    You're right, I AM a slack bastid, shoulda been packing up and sending you XN bits instead of cruising in the lorry, fixing the roof, re-assembling CBs '62 Fairlane, dreaming up a better air-filter for Tequila Sunrise, buying rifles through KB.......


    OK, ya talked me (shamed me?) into it, I'll get me shit together tomorrow dude!!

    PM me re the 'bill' for the XN so far eh?
