Wasn't a too bad of a read, Have to agree it was a pity there was no group shot of the kb girls. Surpose with any editor, they get the final say in the matter. Any way another plug for kb, hopefully heaps of new visitors to the site and few new faces? . Just as well writer didn't see the local kb crew at a rally

, that would be an entertaining read

All I can say is at least they got me best side

but ashame they didn't at least get the bike line up.

Read "The Article" today. Gives a good boost for KBers. I would like to see a lot more Lady riders on WNR on a regular basis.

Anyway where are we off to this week, assuming the weather is better on Wednesday. Havn't been to Duvauchelles recently???? Or how about Oxford??? Or where ever???

And keep's on riding like that, then he is more than welcome to ride with me again.
And I would even invite him, if I could remember his on line name.
So Geordie, PM me please.

gordies overtake that led to an accident wasn't the only dumb decision he'd made that day.

he also decided to show up on an unwarrentable, unregisterable 400 on his learners license, only after crashing his busa weeks before.

and then there's the over take.

I mean, there's foregiveness for riding like a twat (we forgive D every week) but then there's consistantly making bad decisions, which in my opinion needs greater consideration when deciding whether this is a person I'd want to ride with.

I'd also like to point out that my information is second hand, I wasn't on the scene a year ago, but my second hand information comes from many many reliable sources.

Weekender article attached for anyone that missed it.

Quality not as good as it could be, and had to split it up to get under 1Mb.

I'm not going anywhere this week, got to get my front brakes done on the bike!! ARGH, first the car now the bloody bike, mind you the weather forecast is for rain!!

Thanks for that!! McWild was a gent and brought over his copy for me, thank you for that McWild!!! Good article, but could have done with the group shot in one of the photos. Great picture of Tracey on the front.

Here's a PDF of the article. It's not very nice, but all the text is there.

Due to the odd format of the paper I wasn't able to scan the full page width, therefore it has been done column by column. The PDF was still rather big - about 4 Mb - so I had to compress it to get under the limit. So there was a degradation of image quality there as well.

Anyway, I hope you can read it anyway. Want a better copy? -Try and find one of the originals.

Cheers Mikkel!

Duvochelles would be nice this Wednesday

Off to Ruapuna tonight for advanced motorbike riding lessons with Mainland driving school!! Really looking forward to that, hope the weather holds off!

The racing was great at Ruapuna this weekend dispite the weather! Bugden will be kicking himself for the big faux pas on the first lap of the last race! It happened right in front of us and whatta mistakka to makka over taking some back markers on the outside on a moist track,if he waited for one more corner he would have been fine.... i just missed the accident with my camera pointed in not quite the right spot but then have him on camera walking away from his bike and his body language said it all... As much as i'm a huge Andrew Stroud fan, Bugden until his mistake was going to be the man to beat. Look out next round!!

If they're disks at the front, they're usually not that much rocket science to swap - if you need a hand, just get the pads & I can probably help with the swap (Ferodos I got from BMS are pretty good, weren't too expensive)...

Thanks, will keep you in mind!

I need to replace the rotar as well as the pads. Gonna give the guys at the garage a call and find out how much it's going to cost. It's a pain as the car needs the same thing!
