Yea that the bikes
I had to buy new gear to take the V11's as I just sold my MKIV that I have had for the best part of 15 years.
I had just serviced it and it was ready to go.
It had hard GIVI luggage and that was packed and ready to clip on and go.
O well back to soft panniers.
And the bank balance looks a lot better to boot.
We should be going to the Vincent as well, that is if all goes to plan.
So hope we will catch up with you there Nighthawk.

I have a cunning plan.
The weather forecast for Sunday is a bit shitty so I contacted a mate who flies for the helicopter line - he needs to clock some hours in the ex army Iriquouis chapper they use for rescues and heavy lifting.
He has mounts in the back that can take 3 decent sized motorcycles sideways in the chopper with their riders and gear sitting up front.
The plan is to take off from Hokitika and then head to the Franz Joseph glacier, fly up there, around the side of Mt Cook and then drop us down to the Hermitage on the other side - from there we have a great ride home in the dry on those fantastic MacKenzie Country roads.
Anyone interested?? Need 2 more takers - cost a hugely mates rates deal of only $80/head ( the bloody thing costs about $1500/hr to run) because he has to get over to Cook sometime to do a practise with some of the rescue crews there.
Anyone keen?????
Actually, this is my 500th post and to mark it I'd thought I'd just rabbit on with some slightly more creative bullshit than what I usually put down here!!
Unfortunately I won't be at the Hoki rally but hope to catch up with you at the March Hare which everyone says is a great one, and see a few on our Sth Island Passes safari. Safe riding and that weather forecast is looking a lot better even for Sunday than it did on yesterdays forecast, especially for those riders heading South.
Well part of it anyhow. Drove Springs Junction to Chch on Tuesday. Only things to report are a bit of light grit for soft tar in the area of Lewis Pass and road works with traffic lights just north of Culverden (or was that Coromandill??).
I take it there is not an enforcement blitz this year. Anyhow, keep a watch out and pleasant riding everyone.
I have just found out that they have removed the word gullible from the dictionary
Yea right. Back pad dick I thought D was talking about a mens chastity belt.Might just come along for the ride and lunch thing.........and ohh the company too. My weather map says good weather both Sat and Sun. That's if you leave early. Shit weather most of next week for the Mainland

Heading away in about an hours time when CB gets home from work, going at least as far as Makarora tonight but if we make good time we may carry on to Haast.
Got a mate with some marinated steaks going to be there - would be a shame to miss out on them!!
