Great, looking forward to swarm wif ya Mike.

Seeing that I missed yesterdays swarm I call upon all willing swarmers to join me for a pootle short or long regardless

I will be at library at 6:30, and shooting of at 7, and we can swarm round under the blue moon

My favourite song of the day...

Well, lor' and begorrah, TOTO was bereft of any takers on a Tuesday night pootle ... so who was I, gijoe1313, hornet and pootler extraordinaire to leave him alone to his devices?

So offs I pootles, after laughing at Gremlin, stuck at work and unable to ride. Met TOTO at the designated RZ and got chatting with a chap who is a longtime lurking KBer with a Beemer. Seems we may have another participant for the Monday night madness next week!

Anyhows, I put it to TOTO that we should do SH16 and off we went. After getting stuck at city lights for 10 minutes!

So TOTO takes point and we make our merry way to Wellsford via the long way round! Just the ticket for pootlers like us two! We stopped at Helensville for TOTO to sack out and we had a bit of a natter with a fellow biker who pulled over to say hi to us! Was in a pick-up, but attended the Westpac ride on Sunday just gone ... small world

Booting off to Wellsford, the roads were a mixture of damp to dry and there was the reflected light of a full moon ... very nice!

We meandered our way to the welcoming light of Wellsford servo where TOTO went om nom nom nom to a plate of nosh, and I did my customary eating of a soft serve ice cream ("I rode to Wellsford for an ice cream I did"

)

I took point back and some heavy, but brief spatters of rain entertained us on the way home. We parted company at Westgate and voila, I am home after tending to the Big Ol'Hornet and making jibes at Gremlin who is still stuck at work!

Time for some piccies methinks!

Yes a good night it so was. Maybe we can go dancing sometime on a hornet swarm with the new hornet swarm member. Learn some fancy moves we may and use it as an excuse to bring some female companions to the swarm

Hey... someone has to help pay for all these teacher's salaries so they can tootle off riding at all hours...

This is a step by step instruction guide to providing a portable liquid deflector from an improvised resource. Namely rubbish bags of the plastic variety.

Step 1 : Talk to bemused servo attendant and locate appropriate resources. Drape said bags over Big Ol'Hornet to look tres chic in the demi monde of the biking underbelly.

Step 2 : Using your ignition keys, artfully design Andy Warholesque holes in strategic points for your head and arms to egress out of desired bag. Next, lose keys somewhere on person necessitating a 5 minutes search to relocate it from the place you put it.

Step 3 : Return to bemused servo attendant and plead for the lend of a pair of scissors. Ensure scissors are blunt and no use whatsoever for this project. Knowing how cheap arse they are, they will try to recycle the bag to use as a rubbish bag by using copious amounts of duct tape ... which exceeds the cost of the bag itself.

Step 4 : Continue with making the holes. Remember the large hole at the other end is already made and is how you will put the ensemble device at completion on.

Step 5 : Taking care to locate your noggin and bendy army bits into right holes, suck in gut and pull the bag over. Keep pulling over until it tears which means you need to repeat steps 1-3 again, if not, then keep pulling till your head is free - unless you collapse from lack of oxygen due to self-strangulation or asphyxiation occurs.

Step 6 : Voila! You have proven to be a cheap arse biker who probably should have spent the readies to buy a decent rain gear system due to the cost of these bags adding up over the long run!
