I can be flag marshal at Palmy end of journey,and after carefully observing each rider down their 10 beers flag them off at their arrival intervals times.

Would be them.

We had a shorter ride today, rained all HW50 down and was fine Palmy area.
Rained all way back from Dannevirke, (surprise!)
Were going to go Weber/Wimbeldon/Porangahau way back but was pissing down at the turnoff in Dannevirke so pointless trying to do country roads in our 101 kph style so high tailed it home.

Alvin & I even caught and passed a mufti cop car and never got pinged so that proves we never speed.

Good day out anyway, checked out all the new bikes at Anza.

The new Triumph Thunderbird is sweeeet.

Brand new Buell XB12R for 15k too.

I would say so as the black one is reg & WOF. A silver one unreg.

I sat on it for a while and pondered.
Hmm....if I buy one I would have to take the missus out on it.
Think I'll stick to sprotsbikes.

But it is very nice, and could make a man turn.
Well, not faggy, but........the 'cruiser' side.

Even a few compressor pilots there were in awe of it, commenting on how nice it was and nothing really to buy for it cept maybe mufflers whereas their pressors they had to fork out shitloads to get them to look, go, and sound nice in their opinion.
And at 25k its the same price for an entry level Dyna.

Anza are having a Harley day shortly where there will be 18 pressors to demo, which is quite depressing but, on the plus.........the Buell range will be there too, including the 1125 Rotax ones, plus the usual XB12s etc. I think I will go for a ride on them.

It didnt lol. Went in wednesday morning to buy one and they were out of stock, so ordered and paid. Was told come in before 4 today to pick it up. Came in at 3.50 and they bloody closed at 3.45. So havent got it yet.

Other hand, Yanis whipped his out, with a warm tyre (not cold, but not fully heated) it was showing 38 on the rear and 37 on the front. So looks like front maybe a little over pressure, but im going to wait until ive got my digital gauge before i start changing any thing
