Checked out Courtenay Place for dinner on a Friday night, just as good. Michelle got lot's of admiring looks from 'the girls', if ya know what I mean

must have been the leather jacket

We're just about to head out on the Tiger for a tour of Wellie and surrounds. First stop, WMC to check out the new XB12 in, get this 'Thrust Blue'

alright ..

"Thrust blue" .. where the hell do they come up with those names

I think perhaps coz it was overcast by the time I left Palmy it was'nt cold in the extreme, just scraped into what i'd call comfortable enough... It was a whole lot warmer than Yod's birthday ride....

y'know... the one I bailed on...

Yup. High cloud. Light wind. Wife's back. Kids noisy. I'll be off shortly. Dunno where. Don't care.

Sounds about the same as it is here, not tropical though, ride safe.

Hard to say really, but we hauled it out and checked it out. Very similar, but with a lower seat and somehow Buell have managed to drop 30 kgs from from last years model! So, looks attractive

Then took Michelle on a big tour of the Bays, Mt Vic, Seatoun, Wind turbine, Karori, Kelburn, Terrace, City and Ori Bay for latte by the sea. The Tiger was perfect for dealing to Wellie's terrain.

Leaving soon, good to hear the weather's behaving

Cowboyz just just fitted my front tyre

(less swearing than I imagined) so I'm holding out for fine weather tomorrow and the run across Fields Track with Feilding Riders. I see a few Tribesmen in town, open face, fingerless gloves

- not for me.
