Explanation:
Riding through the back from Pahiatua to Oringi I was pootling along minding my own business when some arsehole upstart hare thought he'd take on the 14!
Shot out of the long grass as was running straight down the road for a short while and as I drove up on it, it did a left hand turn and I think it though it was going to jump me coz it sprang up and hit the fairing of the bike at mid hight, some smallish damage with a hole lightly punched in the plastic.
All the little shit had to do was run straight for one more split second and I would have gotten past it.
Will look into what the panel is worth and might replace it at some point later but would like to mend it at least for the time being.
I feel a song coming on !!!
I raced a hare and the hare won !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
Cheers everyone.![]()
On your behalf I give a heartfelt OH FUCK IT.

By the way I spoke to Meanie on the phone earlier, they are have an awesome time on the roads down south. All is well.
yep, i am enjoying full access to OUR garage!
The $26 front tyre gave up on me today so replaced it. Got 7701km out of that $26 tyre. Did I mention the tyre was $26!

Oh, that's really gutting. Fecking vermin.
Yeah, got a txt this evening from Meanie - skiting bastard, going on about what a great time they're having.Wish I was there. Had a bit of a pootle today before catching up with some friends, but being still on call I couldn't go very far out of town. Would have done the long-range coffee run today otherwise.
BTW Cowboyz, stop being so reticent and tell us how much your last front tyre was!
Ah bugger on the Hare Sarge, I know how you feel. That rabbit of mine caused $3K worth of repairs!
Speaking of tires, I was just at TSS in the Hutt. Pilot Road 2 180/55 $300.00 and all others similar relative to their normal retail cost. The sales guy explained that they do em at such a good price because they get other benefits such as increased sales elsewhere. Now those are darn good prices and worth it if passing by imo.
Had a really good run to Gravity Canyon yesterday, definitely a worthwhile destination with a great cafe, and some pretty spectacular bungy jumping. One poor guy took about 5 mins to psyche up and still needed a nudge![]()
