In the DOGBOX........

**dogsnbikes** · 27th June 2007, 22:55

Well as some of the Manawatu lot know I have been in the dogbox for two weeks now and alot of thanks to both Chanceyy and 86gsxr for helping me with the move owe you guy's

As all house moves go this one was no exception with a the power connection hiccup and no sleep the night before due to having to pickup my bike from up country and getting back at 3am or there abouts why not pack a load and head up to the new house the power guy would be there at 8am well 1pm at the latest .. yeah right!!!

half a day wasted already and dogs was starting to growl !!!!! finally sorted and got power that night

next day of too meet chanceyy and 86 at the old house......get txt 86 is running late thats cool so was I...hell I hadnt even started to pack things up

so was pushing for time but due to chanceyy's resorce's we had a truck sweet one load wel almost had gto go back for one more to collect the rest of the bikes as onewas aready there and the other was loaded

to be honest I dont think they relised how far in the outback I was moving too but I am sure it was a relief to finally get to the house and see the trumpy parked in the dinning room and that the kitchen is big enough to turn a bike around in

But with no cell phone coverage yay!! work can't recall me

no TV reception now I dont have to put up with the pointless drivel on TV no AM/FM reception now I get to choose the music

And lots of snow on the surrounding hill's..did I really need a season ski pass..

great roads with lots of twisties Oh yeah Baby!!lots of riding time even on the not so quiet TT500 hehe and the closest cop 40k's away

And already the landlord has asked me if I would be keen on buying the house with a few acre's......Isn't it great how somethings work out

So now its time to plan the house warming ride and a few overnight quiet drinks or the not so quiet drinks if chanceyy turns up

which is looking like it will be early August just watch this space

I dont think even Cowboyz will get lost

did I say that out loud

ya welcome mate .. took a while to lose the headache after getting a whack on the side of the head though

nope did not realise how far out it was .. but figured it was out in the wop wops somewhere .. but figure we pretty square since you helped me move .. & it could be on the cards again sooner rather than later

& noisy .. I am not noisy LOL .. well not much anyhow .. but can we make sure its not a weekend i have to work would love to try out them roads

That was a great day Barry and it was good to be able to help out a friend

Can't wait for the housewarming, plenty of room for all and it would be great to get the whole crew (and more) up there for some decent bourbon, views, and rock n roll

No worries about getting home and as long as there's bacon and eggs the next day all should be just fine

Got my seat today too - thanks for the loan of yours
