Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[BigG]

Got me second tyre fitted so now got to find time to put the wheel back on me bike. Didnt get as much discount as I thought I would get due to theft of the first one.
Hey Tony whare you get your tyre from the Honda Shop.

Hello again folks. I have a specific query to pose to you all. Which of our ‘101km/h group’ thinks that I am ‘a bit dodgy’? I know that it’s a strange question to ask, but please know that it is even stranger to learn that there are some people that think you are ‘a bit dodgy’ !!!

Last week I learned that there was ‘talk’ that I was on home detention. Why on earth anyone would be talking about me in the first instance is beyond me, but, seeing that I have a pretty good sense of humour, I saw the funny side of this error of judgement and of facts.

However, my sense of humour has limitations, and those were reached when I learned that a couple of people were proactively investigating me by questioning my friend & landlord about me. What gives?

One of these people makes mention that I was ‘flashing around $100 bills’ WTF? I recall having 3 $100 bills in my wallet and pulling one of them out to buy a $3 drink (not a $16 snack) on one occasion and the following weekend I had to use one of the remaining two $100 bills to buy another $3 drink whilst out on a nice ride. THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS is not ‘flashing’ anything around. That’s far king dodgy? (Oh, and this was 4 or 5 months ago !!! wow)

There is also question on my income. Again... WTF? Even stranger is that I was already asked, and I answered as to ‘what I do’.

I was asked what the pills were that I am often seen taking and why I was taking them, so I answered openly and honestly that three years ago I had major lung surgery which has left me with permanent chronic pain syndrome. I did not go on to stating that I had to survive off of a sickness benefit immediately after surgery. Yes, I was very grateful for that backstop. And I wouldn’t hesitate to accept it again if ever I had reason and cause. I’m not ashamed and nor should I be. How much of my past must I really present to a casual riding group?

Look, I don’t pretend to be better than anyone, I don’t ask for anything, I don’t invite myself to peoples homes, I don’t ask questions about people in ‘our group’ and I don’t talk about people in ‘our group’ I don’t even involve myself in conversations about things that don’t concern me within the group. I don’t do drugs, I don’t drink alcohol (except for one handle of Tui last weekend) I don’t do crime and I don’t harm people.

Dale, Elvin and Tony have been actively friendly towards me. Tony is even helping me out by giving me a rear tyre . Making it actually feel like a somewhat social group. Which for me is a definite bonus because I was content with just having people to ride with.

So, one could imagine that my bubble was burst when I learned that people were snooping and spreading rumours about me. ME!!!

I was so looking forward to riding (both rides) this weekend. Now I'm wondering - am I too ‘dodgy’ to attend?

If anyone really does feel that they need to know something about me, please just ask me. I refuse to be cast into Desperate Housewives. I don’t appreciate gossip !!!

Ridden with you a few times now. I dont think you are dodgy. Cant say ive heard any of the gossip that you are saying. Had heard that you had gone overseas for a little while. If so, welcome back.

[Stickchick]

Geez dude, I don't know you at all but I know the HB crew and they are not ones to snoop into other peoples lives. I have had a chequered past before moving to Napier but no one ever pried into what my life was about unless I will willing to tell them. Maybe you should look outside the square or even KB for that matter.

just my 2c anyway. They are more of a help than a hinderance.

I think we will keep you. Come back. Please please.

You need to harden up and don't worry about gossip. I got used to it a long long time ago.

Hi Stickchich. Thanks for your 2c worth. Please, by no stretch am I accusing the HB crew of anything. If I believed that I wouldn't be riding with the HB crew... cos nobody is forcing me to ride with the crew. However, sadly I have learned for a fact that a rumour was created... and then questions about me were directed to my friend/landlord who attended a ride last weekend... along with the "a bit dodgy' part. Not by 'the crew', but rather... by a couple of people within the crew. I'm not parinoid nor jumping to conclusions. This is fact. Do they mean harm? I doubt it, but I'm sure that you'd agree that I do need to put the brakes on any spinning when it involves me. Cheers

People talk. It was about me not so long ago

Get on ya bike, and ride. That is what life is about. Getting out there, having fun and doing it with a smile on your face

[Dooly]

Probably cause you work too much

[robertydog]

Right back to biking.

Rode R1 yesterday for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks.

I miss my R1

LOL thanks for that advise. If the gossip infered that I was secretly a playboy giggilo after hours, or even that I had an R1 stashed in my garage that I wasn't telling anyone about... I would harden up and not take it personally.

But these guys are infering that I am a dodgy criminal which I do take personally, and am not yet hard enough to let go without a mention.

(you happen to have any anti-rumour-viagra you're not telling anyone about that you might share with me?
