Whooo whooo look at me…. I am posting on K/B. That’s a good thing. It means I am not poking around the race bike nor am I at work. I should be at work and will be soon but you are right Chicky we are proud of our litter but then all parents are aye…..

This race bike has been a great way to do family time and I recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it. It is as cheap a motor sport as you can get and it is something all the family can do. If it wasn’t for W we would have had bike issues a long time ago but that’s how you learn. W is a good teacher and he has cut years off our learning time. We only ever expected to run in the pack this year and learn but with the support of so many people, Warrick, Gary FiveStar etc we are lucky to be able to let Patrick use his talents to do more than that. It gets under the skin and it is not often you think about anything else. It is always the bike that you catch yourself day dreaming about when you should be focused on work. Not to mention the hours of bike work that gets done in work time. With the win last weekend it has given us all a boost for the week. It is not so much the feeling of loss when you don’t win as the frustration of “why isn’t the bike going well?

Ahhh see what I mean. So many here have been there and done that and had the same experience as we have but it is worth the time and effort to have experienced what it can be like. You don’t need a super bike to have a great day out. Sure that would be great for the rider but to compete in the race at any level is great.

So Chicky how is it in the big wet windy city? Oh that’s right you are in Auckland not Wellington hahahahaha

Time for work. Can’t ride with the group today got another little thing I want to achieve today. So good to be alive. Take care you lot And thanks for all the support.

Great lunch mate, but think I had too much Chardonay & Merlot. Oh, and beer.
Healing well, seem to be way ahead of schedule what others are at 3 and a half weeks.
Gonna see if I can get on the quad today.
Reckon if I can get on the Speedy, all it will take is a crutch cable tied to the frame and I'm away.

Your probs getting better mate?

Nice to hear thing are progressing nicely, don't go forcing the issue though, you don't want to go taking a backwards step in the healing process.
Good news mate.

See I told you ^^^^^^^^^

We hung around for a while and teased the dogs but it became apparent you were out. Good to know you are out and about mate. We went back to Warricks and sat in the shade and had tea. Hahahaha Two bloody old fellas sitting in the shade and havin tea.

Don’t push it on the rehab cos it will bit you and you will be back to the start. Just a nice balance. It is not getting on the quad that is the problem it is when it jerks sideways and your reaction is to balance yourself that the damage might get done.
Aye you are a big boy but mate I have seen the result of pushing it to soon. We will return in the near future. Had a blast down the road and back and that was good therapy for me. Whooo whooo clean dry roads and no bacon. I da Gixxer. She is getting old like me but she has not got to the tea in the shade stage.......

Nice x-ray. That is going to set off the scanner at the airport........
