Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!
4th time lucky maybe, Wednesday day night pack, Thursday morning off to workone of those days where you try to get away on time but as i'm not there tomorrow.... never mind
get to Far queue's about 1930 to see the cage parked out side the Dr inside loaded & ready to go & a space next to it for the Beammer get inside beer in the fridge food close by "top bloke" this shapping up to be a good weekend
showed Fq my new bed mate & i course the shit started, anyway bounced out of bed just after 5am got ready & we were gone by 7:20
just before Geraldine I spy 2 bikes comming up behind us was tring to think who would be gay enough to wear a red & ghey jacket & then shock horror i see the other bike was my identical twin Ghost Bullet, hes a good boy, will ride with any one
stop for fuel & coffee at Geraldine to find that XF650 had gone on to Fairlie while having coffee in a family cafe the talk was around people peaking at dicks & cultervating cheese. it just gets better as the day goes
headed for Fairlie cought up with XF650 waved to our tar babys& headed off to the black forest just before the home stead i sore the lake just over the brow of the hill & in my head was going, brow lake brow lake then
the road turns to the left, full lock up one then the other off the road thinking this could hurt, but stayed up right after sucking the seat up. Past the local school, a hole one room
the road over Black forest to Otematata was just totally cool a few O shit moments were had here & there because of not looking at where you're going but because of the country in were in (note do again soon)
got to Oldriders to find he had all ready left 3/4 of an hour before, saying that it was to good riding weather to wait for us. Might have had something todo with us running 11/2 hrs behind
hey bout who cares Mrs Oldrider had lunch waiting home made tomato soup, bacon & cheese & mince on toast followed down with juice, coffee & chocky biscutsa Big Thankyou Pip....

Hey great pics. Nice to make your acquaintance again Shrek. As my camera died at the crucial moment (note to Ruralman re practicality of penlight batteries) it was good to get something of the river crossing. Wish to God you had said "cheese" or something similar. I was actually enjoying the moment but look bloody grimmer than SD's mask!
