Hi all,

Last Sunday Transalper and I went for a wee adventure around Western Valley road to Birdlings Flat.

Here's the video if you're interested. Was a great fun ride!

What a fantastic day! Going to pack a small picnic for MinxiMe and we'll be along in the car! Looking forward to it!

*Shakes head in pity*

Alas Wheelies, Swearing and Bitche$ were all on holiday so I had to put up with their substitutes Cleanliness, Godliness (twins, they're always next to each other) and apathy.

Meh, use what you got I believe the saying goes ...

I promise next time to keep it under 3 minutes and to include lots of visual stimuli just for you

Hope you are feeling better!? Was a good day today.

MinxiMe and I turned up early and had a quick bite to eat at BK, then waited till everyone turned up, which turned out to be MaxF and Gloplg. We hadn't heard from Peeteey so they went over Dyers and I went via Halswell. Roads were quite busy but maintained a good flow. Got to Little River said hi to R1Madness, Larikin and Sal. MaxF and Gloplg decided not to go over to Akaroa but I had promised MinxiMe chips. So we headed over only to be stuck behind a black Ferrari!! MinxiMe was so excited "it's a rari" he did however pull over and we passed as MM gawked at it!! After some chips and hotdogs we headed back. Traffic was pretty heavy at this point. It was a rather quiet drive back as MM fell asleep, so just came home.

As for the road conditions, apart from the usual potholes, ripples and dead animals, no grit to be seen on either side!

I hope your cat is not like the one in red dwarf, because that would be cause for concern.

The next vid should include the cat doing some riding , I saw some doco with a cat riding in a wee basket on the front a harley. ... and I have just seen your next lighting project for the beemer.... TESLA coils, would look awesome!

Ha ha, the cat from Red Dwarf is very funny but I don't think I'd like him curled up under my covers ...
I would LOVE to get some Tesla coils on the bike, how cool that'd look at night!
In fact, if I rigged it right then the coils could arc to me making the rider part of the show!
