Let the fun begin...

[Edbear]

wow, it's been ages since I came to this page...has the fun then stopped?

No, but it has gone rather quiet of late.

I've had some amazing rides, the most memorable of late would be 31 December, 2010. Took a couple of lovely Welshmen for a ride to the base of the Takaka Hill, we took the 'long' route. Once at the base I said go for it...and off we went. Brilliant ride for me that day. I was riding in a style I'd not seen before. Straight over the top of this wonderous hill and down into the valley and out to the beach for the yummiest lunch. The scenery, wow, Golden Bay sure has it. I can still picture the blue of the sea and the gold of the sand and I feel this feeling of bliss overcome me.

Well, that was last year, this year has been slow so far. Couple of wee rides around the Moutere block, no time to really play the roads soooooooo, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.

Tomorrow is anniversary day in my garage. Me and Black Beast have been in love for a whole year. We've had a couple of minor mis-understandings that were entirely my fault and I have apoligised profusely and replaced the broken clutch lever and indicators. I've also just had it down the shop for the 12k service and the 'Two Bros' tuneup.....oh dear Lord it sounds so sweet. I couldn't beleive the difference in sound....smoothly, deeper, raw. I love it.

And tomorrow me and Beasty are off to Picton for lunch. I'll be having a delicious Black Russian to celebrate and well the Beast just got the tastiest oil.

So I'm wishing me and Beasty a very happy anniversary.

Happy 1st anniversary! May you look forward to many more! Your bike is far too clean, you obviously have a cleaning disorder. I can offer you a grimy C50T to take your frutrations out on if you'd like...

Absolutely superb young lady. Well written as always. What a wonderful passion we have isn't it.

I spent sunday arvo cleaning the C50T, under the gazebo. Quick touch up on the whitewalls this morning and off for a blast for the rest of the arvo.

Nearly blinded meself!

Blardy lot of bugs out today! Even the leathers are covered in bug splats!

Oh well another wash in the future I guess, can't have it sitting clean for too long anyhoo.

Nice write up Genie!! - Glad to finally see a pic of the black beast!

Hi ya all, hope you're all well in the real world. I'm off today to tick over the clock to be reading 15000K, I'm rather excited about this prospect. It shows I've come along way since I first bought my bike. My riding has changed so much, I now have style. LOL.

anyway, I'll be back this evening with a sexy pic of my bike parked at the moment we clocked 15000....and the sun is shining and it's gonna be a brilliant day.

[Smifffy]

Pics or it never happened...
lol

Sorry...I'm just so busy of late, household renovations in progress so I'd not got back here...I'm here now and here's my pics....

All in all it's been a fantastic time to get to here, couple of minor drops that left a couple of scars on my bike , but apparently that adds to the character.



Such a beautiful bike with such smooth gracious lines, and I must say my riding since day one has become so very smooth and gracious. My riding now matches my bike. Though I do still have those weird gear changes every now and again ... if you know what I mean.

I've also come to very much love riding over the Whangamoas, it was my pet fear at one time, loved the Takaka Hill way more, but I've overcome that fear and have such freedom now with the corners that make that superb hill.

How blessed I am to own such a beautiful wee bike and blessed again that Nelson is surrounded by such lovely twisties and turnies and views to die for. That doesn't even begin to include all the other blessings in my life.

I've been due to go and get my full licencse for the last month but all this other stuff gets in the way. I"m not in any great hurry for I'm not upgrading my bike to a bigger more powerful one, I have all I need in what I've got. It's a zippy little thing, just the right height and weight (four lay-downs and counting), so why would I want to get rid of it for something different. It's like trading in my boyfriend because I certain time had passed. Not for this lass, I'm committed to this wee bike, it's got at least 200 000k left it in for me....that's gonna to take me a few years

Speakng of which, it's rather dirty from the last weeks worth of riding, we covered a bit, so best I go give my baby a nice warm wash followed by some love and attention of the shiny sort.

Good on you. Sounds like a very happy Genie. I don't pine for my first bike, or my second...but my third 250 I still pine for.

CBR250RR I would still have it now if it hadn't gotten all twisted up (by someone else). It had all I needed and for this short arse it was so comfy and I just loved riding it.

The roads down your way sound lovely, apparently I have family down there wonder what it costs to chuck a bike on the ferry....

Well, from what I hear...not bloody much at all...go on DO IT! Free accomodation here in Nelly town and if you time it right.....you can get the Genie Tour, it's a grand one!

All's fair in love and motorcycling, IYKWIM.

Does this mean we're taking the thread off topic...?

[Genie]

This is where the fun is...that's the only topic.

Just gave my bike a lovely polish and put it away in it's nice warm, cosy, clean lounge..ahhh, I'm so blessed and tomorrow I shall get it dirty again....lucky, lucky me.
