    The way it felt and by comparison to what I see & have to deal with through work I think it could actually be the master cylinder piston seals are naffed

    I may come to this. It's on the way to where I'd be going that day anyway. I'll be turning off from Oxford however.

    Might see you there!

    just don't throw Elsie away on any of the corners & you'll be fine you should be running on adrenaline during the racing so a wee jaunt into the high country will be a breeze on Sunday and refreshing

    I just have to drop off the misses, the kids will be glad to have her back home after romping around the city with me all of Saturday. Doubt she will say no to a ride around the place before getting home.

    Right.. time for bed for me. Early start as usual.

    Elsie wasn't the one who had problems with levels, it was the old bucket... but now I have a NEW bucket, we'll see how this baby likes Levels!

    Hey TA! You comming? XF650 made mention of heading from Ashvegas to the Rakaia Gorge up the Zig Zag Road and meeting the ride, possibly at Hororata mmmmmm pies & beer then peeling off to go thru the Lyndon Rd on the way back. So there's a wee bit of shingle in the offing if you're interested?

    Hororata (stop a pie & drink).
    TWR wot time do you think you might be at Hororata?
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    Well if we head away from PMH by 10.30, we'd be in Hororata roughly at 11.30, there may be one or two who want to fuel up at Lincoln possibly.
    Aren't going to be setting any time/distance records, it's just going to be meander across the plains.

    If you're thinking of heading through the Lyndon Rd, you should scoot up past the Coleridge Lakes to the top village & the harper intake for a nosy

    Nah nothings changed just the ol' ginga is a wary old battle horse that's past it best & needs it's rest, either that or he's hinting that the guzzler isn't that comfy
