You gave up to soon.

Story of my life always giving up to soon.
Everybody must be in Hybernation on this site, must be to cold for every one. Went for a ride Sunday night took the Mrs for a spin tryed out some new gear and she tells me didnt even feel the cold except when she popped her head from out behind me. Was a good short ride in the dark.

Looks like I am going to miss the ride again this week.

Need to help my brother do an engine swap in his ute. Looks like you will get a lesson in things oily and dirty as well as a riding lesson Chicky.

You might become a PIT girl.

That is holding the light in the pit while Mike puts the bolts in.

Looks like rain for Saturday.

Some bikes feel the wind more than others I recon. I had an old GSX 750 ESD years ago and it was a pain in the wind. Put me off riding it. But since I have had the Gixxers the wind just doesn't count any more. Just go faster young man. See, you need a Gixxer BIG G.

I wont be there either!!

But I will be riding all weekend

There is 22 riders (all from KB) riding the gravel roads in the Taranaki, staying at the famous Whangamomona Hotel and having a few quiets and watching the rugby!!

But the hotel owner told me that as we have completely booked the hotel out that they will provide a live band, and nibbles for the rugby!!
And we get a full 3 course pub dinner and cooked breakfast the next day!!

Even though the forecast looks crap, I cant wait!!!

Have fun doing what you all love the best!!

Cheers Scott
