Hmmm see the Hornet 600cc has dropped in price down to $11,995, I thought they were overpriced when brought on the market at $15,995.

May see you all later in the year.

Ride Safe.

You will just have to ride up to Hazzard County now wont ya!

Well the winter was miserable, but I managed to qualify for the two Match Play tournaments, top qualifier for one and as a result won the Junior Handicap Division Stroke Play annual trophy.

On another hobby/interest, I have been playing an acoustic guitar, well fumbling for two years or so and enjoying it. After looking at electric guitars for a few weeks, I took the plunge, well a wee splash and purchased an Ibanez IJX Startup Pack, and I am very pleased, very pleased with the new guitar. Now I am splitting my time across both practising my pentatonic and blues pentatonics, as well as cramming a lot of the theory in Triad structures and harmonizing majors, minors and sevenths. With the headphones on and playing some wonderful tunes the electric guitar has just added another dimension. Bit like stepping up from a 250cc to your next bike, speaking of which.......

I had two bikes on my watchlist, both 650's and believe you me I was tempted, very tempted. [Ah hum still am tempted.]

Good to hear from all of you that have posted up, sorry it has taken me a wee while to post up here in reply.

Moons ago my brother-in-law and I would stand around on a Sunday evening, steak on the barbie, beer in hand, and he would talk a whole lot of crap about bikes that I wouldn't understand. He not long bought a new 2004, Z750 back then, but his first road bike after some 20 plus years of not riding and previously it was trials riding etc. My oh my how times have changed.

Last night I enjoyed the Wellington Tuesday evening ride, the first of the 2010/2011 daylight saving period on a....wait for it...2004, Z750 and enjoyed the ride enormously. Six years old and only 29k km on the clock. He looks after it incredibly, and it is my intention not to let him down in looking after it when I take it for a ride once [or twice] a week. Thanks mate.

Awesome.

Well well Bucky
An electric guitar you are a dark horse,next it will be an electric bike,maybe.
I thought I'd give the TCWNR another run tonight after nearly 2 years away from
mid week riding and the mighty Daytona 675 seems to be the bike of choice tonight.
Might see you there.

Congratulations Guy! I have no doubt you will love your new stead, and it will feel damn good to be back out there enjoying riding again. See you in summer mate when I back at 'em as well!

Look forward to seeing you out there Katiepie next summer, as I am sure we all are.
Take it easy through winter and when the halo comes off perhaps we may hear that classical guitar strumming through the hills and in the valleys.

That's right, I was riding my brother in laws Z750 occasionally, and earlier this month riding home, I knew that come next daylight saving I would be enjoying the journey again.
