Congrats Dodger! She's a beauty!

Went to visit "motobob" but he was asleep, didn't wake him up. So did the scenic drive run with Erik.

Found out how ignorant I am when it comes to bike stuff - was telling ppl that my bike's suspension is off but turned out that inflating the tyres fixed it - DOH!

Have a good day ppl!

Well I went to rowing this morning and got a sore arse. So to celebrate I thought I'll take a quick jaunt out to the Wairarapa and beyond. I ended up riding up to woodville then through the gorge and back down the coast. 150 miles and back before tea.
What did I practice? On the way out to Upper Hutt I practiced overtaking safely, making sure there were no idiots trying to pull out and kill me and that I didn't attempt to pass in a stupid place/way. On the taka's I practiced cornering and stayingon my bike. I stopped and the top and yarned for a bit with a couple of bikers I didnt know then continued on down to Featherston avoiding the PoPo who was apparently pulling guys up for next to nothing, doing "lisence checks". From there I practiced restraint on the long Wairarapa straights and the 50kmph towns that popped up every so often. A drink and piss stop in Woodville and then through the gorge where I praciced staying on my side of the centreline and practiced avoiding the debris that always seems to litter that piece of road. Once through the gorge I pootled along to Sanson and practiced taking my time and enjoying the scenery. The sun was warm, and the breeze refreshing which is what I needed at that point. At Paraparaumu I practiced eating without getting burger juice and grease all over myself and my leathers. A quick zip back into Welly and now I'm practicing putting my feet up and relaxing after being out for most os the daylight hours so far today... *ongoing*

Congrats Dodger! Great shot of you and bubs

I went on the chicks ride today, thanks to Mrs Kendog for organising Was really good. I practised my overtaking (and got told off by some of the girls when I got there...I swear on all my cats' lives that I checked the road ahead before I overtook and that I DID have enough room to pass safely, even on the ginny...sorry if I scared anyone ) and my going around corners. Was a great run up and down the takas but not so good on the Featherston-Martinborough road when I thought I would see if I could push my cornering speed a bit more. Nothing bad happened but I figured out that I need to learn more about leaning before I can do corners as fast as other folks. Learning my limits is good - I'm enjoying it.

Pulled the rearend out of the TL to take some measurement's,put all back in. (spotted a Hamilton ride but to lazy now).......Went to Pak n Save and practised driving my shopping trolley in Baghdad / Bombay (pt)

Down from Nelson to Hawarden (near Culverden in case you were wondering...) to a rellies' 60th on Friday arvo - in the rain. Practised my wet weather tactics...heated grips and rainsuit paid for themselves after Fridays horrendous weather.
Back today with my wife as pillion. Dry roads. Yahoo. Some absolutely stunning scenery through the Lewis Pass and the odd corner or two. Practised keeping the pillion happy with sensible lean angles and being smooth on the brakes and gears. Need to work on the strategies for keeping my arse from going numb on the plywood that Mr Kawasaki installed where the seat normally goes. Days like today I wish I was on a V Strom or something more 'touring' oriented.
