Good to see you out and about again RQ. How's the new bike going???? You had it painted???? Let me guess the colour. .......... Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Thankyou WK!!! I appreciate your offer. Luckily it is all minor stuff, mostly from February. Indicators, mirror, small paint damage, a scrape on the fairing etc. A matter of getting spares and repainting.

Travel safely and I will see you soon.

Almost exactly the same, just a different pipe ;-)

I suppose this Sunday's ride is off, unless of course someone can supply snow chains for my bike

**Desert Eagle** · 13th August 2011, 21:06

The worst thing is that I only just got the restricted licence...

Well...
I see no snow...feel no snow...and expect no snow today.....so I'm off for a ride

heading north to waikari then to greta for lunch...snow chains permitting

**willytheekid** · 14th August 2011, 13:35

WELL!!

Ive seen it...felt it....and now back from the ride (glad I cut that one short!)

Thought I could fit a quick ride in before it hit tonight....but the guy at the gas station advised me other customers had come from the south and the snow was already there.

Have a great white sunday night monday folks
