best way to improve the bike is the rider lol

I rode back from school (napier boys') to taradale. I don't think you would enjoy an open road ride, but because my scooter is so slow it added a bit of the old fun factor

All the very best. So far, no wind. Hope it stays away long enough for you.

There was a weather warning out for yesterday, advising motorcyclists to stay off the roads. There is wind, and there is WIND - yesterday was gale force, so personally, unless you want to encourage accidents, you won't catch me riding in those conditions. However, I do agree, the more riding you do in wind, rain or on gravel, the better rider you will become.

Good man. As long as the nose stays above it, it is manageable.
See you at 9 tomorrow. Looks like it is going to be a sweet day for a ride.

I will be in town to get stuff for docking so might drop in for a cuppa this avo. You got nice Tea at work Mr W?

This I agree with. Cos when you are away from home and it turns to shit you gota ride in it. So best you have experience close to home.

Thanks guys. Leaving in an hour or so and that wind has picked up but ahh bugger it will make the test more interesting. I've heared that I've got to point at hazards; sounds dangerous!
