    Agreed.....Sometimes that ain't the problem though, sheep, wet roads, sheep shit, gravel.. Just so much out there. Those roads the other weekend threw the entire awarness manual at us......

    Now that the forums have seen some extra widgets added, does the owner of the "Manawatu Riders" social group (I believe that's Mr Yod) want to create a Forum for us in the "Social Groups" section - might be more useful than having all the crap in one thread in Meetings & Events?

    Went an saw Rob (Mowgli) today. He's talking about being discharged tomorrow. Bad break but should heal up pretty quickly.

    Was good to get to know him a bit better as we only talked breifly on the ride on Sunday.

    Ah. Bugger.

    Right then: any Manawatu riders (and nearby areas - we're not picky) who haven't already, please go here and join the "Manawatu Riders" Social Group. Do it today!
