I see Iain's got a new ride too! Damn, that's gotta be a slight improvement on the old bus!

I'm sure there's plenty more changes but I don't have time to scroll thru all the pages... I did hear thru the grapevine that some ugly fat bugger bought some butt ugly POS with too many lights... Hope his missus has retained her great taste in bikes.

Anyway, I'm comin' home for a few weeks. I fly in on Friday and was wondering if anyone has a place I can crash on Saturday night as I've got a weeding down the mount to go to.

Better et going, will catch ya's all soon at a Thursday night (still the same place I'm guessing?)

see yas

Has no one offered this man a bed yet?
Just in case that's true, if you get stuck I've got a futon bed you can nab for a bit.

Oh and as for what I was up to Saturday for the others that asked, The 12 was easier to ride out of town and the 9 was easier in town. The 9 felt far twitchier and unstable on the open road, go figure since it's more or less the same frame.

Also, does anyone know why the rear brake on just about all the Buells have no give in them what-so-ever? It's like pressing down on the peg instead of the brake with the same amount of braking as from just letting off the throttle...

Heres a lil ride report on yesterday....dunno why Im putting this in here as only one of you posers turned up

Well the started out nicely with me giving Kiwifruit the learn on the way to Spuds lol... Couldnt fix motor problem so I was on a GSXR 568 TRIPLE

Seeing as there weren't any AMAC(©Kornholio industries) riders with us I promptly went and binned my bike in retaliation coming down the Coro hill... picked it up and carried on....got to Coroglen fer lunch and had a bit of a chin wag there and carried on down down to Whangamata

Then a cop walks in and tells us he had a complaint about riding down the footpath and scaring people, so he gave us a gentle reminder about not being allowed to be parked on footpath and carried on

Was nice overcast weather all day (not melting the tar) apart from getting the learn from multiple Hondas (Girlygirl included

) it was a bloody good day, Kiwifruit, the numb nuts thought he would cheat and go the other way to beat us to Coroglen

Good company, cold beer and dry roads made it an awesome day

Thank you, please come again

p.s Gordie I need some more stickers bro

He wasn't very specific as to who was going to fill them tho

Apparently some crazy morons decided to rob a gun store in town today leading the cops on a chase up to Waihi where they were stopped at a roadblock and gunned down.....

Welcome to the wild wild east....

I really hope not since the two thieves were shot dead.

**Matt_TG** · 21st January 2008, 17:00

Chinese whispers abound on KB!

* As far as I know it wasn't a gun shop
* The vehicle was a stolen a Toyota Hi Ace
* It went Ngongataha - Tga (via Pyes Pa) - Kati - Waihi
* A truck rolled in Karagahake Gorge - unrelated but an effective roadblock, so spikes and divert set up to lead the van to Whanga... but spikes did their job
* One was shot. Not sure if he was killed or not ... it will surely be on the news soon.

Just what I heard from the Rumor mill at work.
All I really know for sure is something involving guns went own today.
