Well, yeah., But he always *had* a second wheel. Just didn't want to wear it out.

Yeah nothing wrong with longevity and I'm just a few months behind you Skunk - and nothing wrong with KB family loyalty either eh!

I'm a relative noobie.
Zed was a strange one - I had a few on-line discussions with him, and spent a weekend with him at Blackbird's in Coromandel. Not quite what I expected in some ways. For a hard-core fundamentalist, he sure didn't act like one.

I was with him for a while on the day he binned his CBR600, but because I was pillioning the vifferbabe, I couldn't keep up with the group. It seems 170km/h on SH16 wasn't fast enough.

Oh well - it meant I wasn't around when he troweled it.
It also mean that I got a ticket later in the day, when riding back from Waipu on my own. The first ticket in 30 years, caused by saying to MikeL just the day before, in Galbraiths, "I haven't had a ticket in 30 years!", followed by us both going "Uh-oh...."
Still, it was only (only!!) 40 points and $300...

Zed was one of the very first KBrs I met offline and on a bike. We hit it off on the first ride we went on together and I introduced him to my longterm riding buddy...well for a while there the 3 of us were out on the bikes together EVERY weekend doing 7-800km day rides and lovin' every minute of it.

And YEP! he did like to get up on that back wheel!

He also liked his booze and needless to say there was a lot of time spent off the bikes talking shite over a few bevvies LOL.

Never shoved his religious beliefs at me and our friendship was based on mutual respect. Unfortunately we seemed to have lost contact in the last year but he is one of those people who will resurface again I'm sure
