    Hmmm. Good you recognize the early signs. Yet again another weekend where bikers are part of the injury list. 2 in westland thankfully not fatal.

    Forgot to drop something off in Puke on my way back from the Barry Sheene Classic yesterday. Darn it! Meant I had to go out for a ride today. Went up Burtt Rd, then back down Runciman Rd. Then tried a new route out thru Hunua/Clevedon. Great ride. Would be good to try it out one summer Tuesday evening.

    Cool, You can show us the way.

    As for tonight, it looks like it is going to be practising in the rain. Good chance to try wet riding.

    Second bike??

    I went for a quick ride out to Maraetai on Sunday afternoon. Thought I had passed Sis and Eldog parked up there so went back to double check only to find that it wasn't. That's what I have to do now after the last time where you guys made me feel guilty about accidentally snobbin ya!

    I won't be there if this weather continues on. My textile gear isn't waterproof and if I get soaked riding home then I don't really fancy riding around with my arse in a puddle on my seat.

    aws, I've lent out all of my USB sticks at the mo but I haven't forgotten about dropping that footage off to you. Hopefully later this week I'll get some of them back.

    Back in the beginning of my riding, when I rode and it was raining, you got wet!
    There was no gear available to keep the weather out. One had to suffer that wet feeling

    You young whipper snappers have no idea
    Getting bloody soft

    I was planning to but I got held up with something else on Saturday night so that meant I wasn't able to make Sunday morning. I'll be trying to come to the next one.

    My leathers aren't waterproof either! And after last time I'd prefer it if Peter doesn't waste my chocolate hearts in my coffee by spilling them all over the table..

    I'll admit I'm soft but unless you took Sergio to work and back today that makes you soft too.

    Actually I had to take a cage today because it was pick up supplies for Friday work drinks. I think they might have killed me and Sergio otherwise. Gotta keep work mates happy.

    Meh, trenchcoat, over trou and dubbed boots...its a given i'll get wet but meh...not worried. Rode to work in the rain and will ride back in the rain...but maybe late to the rendezvous point. If um not there when yous want to leave, then by all means carry on...magz

    Picked up a mc22 to ride while I do some work on my zxr, wanted something to ride in case the work takes longer than expected. I originally wanted a mc22, so I found one that seemed in good nick and bought it. Was going to buy a zx6r... but decided not to risk it.

    The riding position on the cbr seems much less aggressive than the zxr, so might mean it'll be more comfortable on the longer rides which is a bonus. Once I have the zxr all fixed up i'll take them both to the track and do some back to back tests for fun.... erm I mean "science"
