Manawatu Rant n Rave

[NZsarge]

gloves are mint, Drystar Vega - neoprene, leather, carbon fibre and thinsulate - these will be my new winter/touring gloves, have got some straight out lined leather teknics on the way too, for the warmer weather (my old rev-its were good, but they were an arse when it was hot)

Will be interested to here your thoughts on the Drystar's, might be good to have a pair for really cold weather as I now count the Clover's as my winter gloves.

heard good things, read good things, found good pricing on it (Stealth model), and liked the look and graphics too and it's fibreglass, not polycarb

Nolan was great but:
-wasn't too fussed on flip-up, i didn't mind it, just felt i didn't really need it
-it was a bit heavy (partly due to it being a flip-up)
-it was a bit noisy - will wait and see what the agv is like
-change is as good as a holiday

Cheers, Al! As it turns out, I'm not completely unscathed. I feel like I’ve been learning how to barefoot water-ski again. My biggest worry is having no memory from the 100kph sign at the end of the bridge to the corner concerned. I remember the accident from the “Oh shit” point, but nothing in the approximately 1.5km before. After checking out the accident scene yesterday, I have to wonder if I was even awake. I’d rate this corner as near impossible to fuck up. That scares the shit out of me!

Well I hope this is more psychological than physical, sometimes the mind moves to protect itself as well. Might pay to follow up again on that GP visit just in case though?

Was a good night friday. Thanks Al and Sarah, i was a little annoyed i had to go so early but the babysitter rang wanting to go home, knew i should have left that cell phone at home, never mind sounds like i left right before the messy bits

Was an enjoyable evening, thanks you two.

Cheers guys, it was a good nite and good to see you turn up with a carful Sarge

Messy could be quite a good description, the laundry got a good workout. And there is a strange substance disguised as Jim Beam still lurking around, I'm almost afraid of what it may be

Marvelous! One step closer to a full recovery, well done!

Bloody hell, don't say things like that, at least not until the curse of the Manawatu has moved along

Why do Aussie men come so quickly?

So they can get down the pub and tell their mates
