Manawatu Rant n Rave

Gettin' some k's under the rubber again eh...

Hiya all

fftopic:

86 enroute home so I get on the internet:

Sure would love to get some k's under the rubber myself

The trip around Zanzibar was a laugh and not too hairy considering I had never been on a trials/enduro type bike before. I had the least knobbly tyres and still skidded on a corner when 86 went right for no apparent reason!!!!

The blackbird was a dream and hope to take it for a quick spin myself later this week. Good that 86 was a windbreak on thursday, bloody chilly.

SK1PY at anza having a once over so hopefully will be running smoothly when I get back. 86 has the new clutch, a moments silence at the airport when they asked if he had been asked to carry anything for anybody we decided not to say anything. Then they asked if anybody could have put anything in his luggage, as we are still stood there he opens a pocket in his hand luggage and finds the card I slipped in there and blurts out, whats this!!!Luckily the check-in guy was too thick to notice.

I have a mad week of picking up the dog, visiting friends and family and then leave here on Friday for the USA and back home.

I know Ali has kept you up to date with all our exploits and we can combine the house warming with our holiday snaps, hopefully we will have edited them by then!!! Sounds like the Manawatu has been eventful in our absence

Wishing you all a great New Year and look forward to seeing you all for a ride

im getting realy bad at not reading these posts lately.so I don't know what you all up too. I hope you all had a safe and happy new years and are fit and healthy and sticking with all your new years resos.
I just got one request of you. I'm going to court and more than likely loosing my licence next tuesday and would like to go out for one last decent ride before I park my baby up...possibly for a few months. Have no idea of where we can go but would gladly just follow as I always do.
Lets us know. Would be much appreciated.

Just had a look at the link, Ali did keep me up to speed on developments but nice to have a peruse myself too....

He will be gagging for a ride on the Daytona as soon as his arse hits Palmie I am sure so will no doubt be in contact to get a group together.

Hey guys.

Anyone keen for a ride this weekend, with the good weather and all. I know Supertramp is keen. Was thinking of heading down Levin/Otaki way, having a coffee and lunch then returning through the back roads round Shannon. Thought this would be an easy ride for all of us who have just started out although the Manawatu crew sounds pretty supportive of us newbies.

Other suggestions will be accepted, I'm just wanting to get out on the highway while the getting good.
