Because mine is a 32 year old 250 with a 6 volt headlight, Its heading over on a trailer along with another small bike from HB. The thought of riding over the Napier/Taupo rd in the dark, possibly in crap weather with a headlight that struggles to light up a hi-vis vest at 20 paces dousnt do a lot for the fun side of riding a bike, well that's my pathetic excuse anyway.

Thanks anyway, c ya there.

No worries.

Plans turning to rubbish - cause I'm heading past national office in Welly I'm now being asked to head in for couple of hours on Friday. I work for a shirt and tie organisation so turning up in riding gear with panniers over my should should be interesting.

Hope they are paying for your ferry tickets or similar then since they are messing with your trip.
Have you not told them you don't have time ??!

Hubby's entry done

I was going to tag along for a weekend away, but looking like I will have to stay home with a sick dog

On the road lunchtime today for ferry sailing tonight. Hope you NIers turn on some good weather for weekend. No rain forecast and forecast temps looking pretty decent compared to those down here at the moment. -4 yesterday morning.

See you all tomorrow night.

Cheers. See you in a few hours.

Yay - this is the last thing I write with my work computer for 4.5 days. Longest I've left it off for in 6 months by a very very big margin.
