    You trying to set the scene for today or are you trying to say that it only leaks oil at WOT.

    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    It was a great day for a ride.
    A bit cold and grit on the road and some wet roads.
    But all and all a good winters ride.

    Mr S is now a Hoon again.

    Good to see and ride with you Kickaha and to meet you Adam B and of course the rest of the crew Mrs S, Far queue and Ghost_Bullet.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.

    Glad the ride went well, all those wee things like grit & wet roads are character building

    MrS a hoon was he to start with

    HUH??? so I was riding a bike that had number stickers on it... it was regestered and altho not displaying a current WOF it was well up to standards.
    I ask Kick out of interest to see how its going, I dont give a shit if its minus REG etc.
    cheers DD

    Yeah SDU had a few slides to keep her eye on the ball, so to speak.
    And I had both go on a shiny patch.
    I know don't ride on the shiny bits, but I was dodging the stones off the bike in fronts back wheel.
    At times it was like being back on the MX track again.
    Still have a head light lens.
    Ducks like throwing stones for some reason? I can tell you.

    I think (in fact I know it did) a V11 threw a stone up on Highway one, got me, wack!!!!, right on the knee... that did not hurt one bit.

    A bit like when ya ask Adam B about the 1098 "Its not bad" mmmm I am thinkin understatement... humble he is though. Park that bugger by a speed camera, and it would still get a ticket!!!!

    Yeah it was a great ride, chilly and all, did not see anything above 8 degrees I dont think.
    I got home and the first thought was a hot winters pudding....

    At the Hororata were of course the Ulyseys people's, But it was inside that Mr S truley fit in, that was with the retirees, out for thier Sunday lunch...

    The road was gritty as said, but all enjoyable.

    Mr S got the seasons wrong, and most of the places we stopped were in the shade....It is winter, and the sun is our friend!!!!

    Bloody gud though Big S for gettin' this ride on the road. En-joyed heaps.

    Ran a bit longer than thought to be able to make it to the house warmin' at dyers, catch up sum time.

    Oh the most important pic is below... I pulled out the good old edmonds book, and a Dominion Pudding was produced, a bit of cream and yuuummmmoooo!!!
