Sounds like you had a challenging day. I was going to take mrs V8 over the saddle with a quick look at the windmills but opt'd to stay indoors today...

Hope you didn't do any damage to yourself

Yeah, these winds have been fierce the last couple of days. They should die down just after Christmas tho! I got blown into oncoming traffic on the Taka's yesterday, and had a battle with em today. Great downwind tho, nice and smooth. The Gixxer had a great run especially with natural assistance from 40 kt tailwinds out to Ashhurst and over the Saddle. Track was fine no problems there.

Glad you're OK Bonez! You're as rugged as those Honda's lol.

Got a few too many spares to go through yet

At least don't have to wait weeks/months and pay kazillions of shingles to keep her running- hammer, 2 inch pipe and a few basic tools and Mavis is your Aunty. Did I mention a hammer. Damn Cheng Shin still has a bit of life left in it even.
