I was planning on going up on the bike via Wairoa, Cafe 287 leaving about 12ish, whatever, Napier, not to get to the farm too early on way back or I'll be roped in to helping cooking etc.......

But yesterday a big iron bar fell on my head giving me a concussion, so unless the head aches stop by then, I'll be in the car.
But I'm thinking fuckit anyway, I'm going by bike if I'm reasonably ok, so that's my plan.........Wairoa.
But I'm flexible on time leaving ish.

Steady up mate, rest up feet up if ya need something strong for the headace I got the fix but ya wouldnt be riding for a day or so.

You be careful young man. The effects of a concussion can be severe and long lasting.
Best stay off the bike if you still have a headache...oh, and not too much of the alcohol, either!

Very good advice Tart

Sure it wasnt a flatplane/crossplane bit of crank that could have flown off a new black R1 job ?

No days off mate, just taking it easy mucking about here.

R1 cranks eh........shit, they blowing up already?

Yea I hope so to. It was a very cold wind that I rode into yesterday. A real freezer off the snow. Just got colder as I went south. When I got to Fielding it wasn’t to bad and the rest of the day was nice over there. However the cemetery we went to was on a hill out in the sticks and I was the only one warm. Go the bike rider. Was tempted to put y helmet on but thought the better of it and left the wooly hat on. Cold ride home after dark last night but with the wind at my back it was better than the ride down.
List of clothes I had on to stay warm.
Thick wooly sox in riding boots and P/ props under leather pants. P/prop under thick shirt with very thick shearing singlet with warm wool jersey leather jacket and thick waist coat. Balaclava tucked in to waist coat collar. Very thick winter gloves. They are the bom and are the best I have ever worn. All the leathers are freshly waxed. Don’t under estimate how much cold the wax keeps out.

Was I warm? For the first half it was good but the cold got in to the legs the further South I went. So if you have it to keep warm on Sunday best you wear it.

Yes just stick with da dog and you will be fine ....

Hows da bean today Tony? You should only service Zuki bikes. You will be safe then cos they don't have big heavy bits. Well not after the rider gets off that is.

**demondave** · 19th June 2009, 14:05

Anyone going to Taupo for the track day on 2moro?

Was actually a Toyota Hiace, still Jap tho.
Feeling a bit sleepy and woosy today, might piss off and go home.

Good to be all rugged up in that weather on a bike eh.
I usually wear 3 thermals, t shirt, jersey, then leather jacket.
New Quasi gloves I brought have vents in the fingers!!!
Think best put liners in.
