Hey there, cripes hasnt this one come round quick, and we're only 9 months from chirstmas already, yikes.

I cant wait to get there, I loved it last year, was the biggest rally I went to, and I now love rallies in general, nice bikes, gorgeous guys, lots of beer and a boogy.

On a different note I rang Thunderbikes in Nelson today to price up some noisy pipes and was quoted $1015 holy f..k

I did have some donated to me off a thunderbird,by a great bloke,

so maybe I shall get em dipped to make em all sparkly and then I too can sound like a Harley, but dont worry guys I shant be waking up early and showing off, god those folk are

And as for deserving a DB for my reply to Snoring at rallies, for the record I love the guys on those posters (and btw,,,, if there are any guys that look like that who are at the rally this weekend, and are single with it then look me up

but I adore a proper beer mate,so make mine a speights

So heres to misbehaving, drinking lots, dancing loads, chatting bollox and above all SNORING

Cant wait to see you sweethearts once again.

Well all me stuff is packed, gotta a bit of work to deal with in the morning, then hookin wit the Bush Basher and Dave Charles midday ish(Fri) when we got all the work done, (same work place) then we will get the get gone going.

But I guess with a Beemer, wee sporty and the grizzly one, we will only get held up by that yanky metal, either stoppin every 10 for gas, or the turn about to pick up the dropsy bits.

Hey and those that are thinking..... that bag is "locked and loaded" aint no0 droppin loads off the MG!!!!!!

Meeting a mate at KFC Timaru at 6pm for tea then on to the site, so look out for us arriving around 7 - 7.30, because buggered if I know where everyone will be at the new site. There'll be 4 of us - Red Ducati, Yellow SV650, Black Buell, Red KLR650.

Tired? I think that's a bit of a understatement. Top marks.

I'll be parked up in the opposite corner to where the band is, more or less, maybe, depends. I'll keep an eye out for you. Failing that send us a txt

Well, closest I got to this years rally was watching it go by, I was doing some roadmarking work in Rolleston, just outside of Christchurch, so every few minutes for the 3 hours I was there, a handfull of bikes would go by :-(

Wish I was there...

Well, here I am, sitting at the computer, crying into my beer, waiting for the V8 Supercars to start. My son and I left for the March Hare about 9:30 yesterday, and about 25 kms into the trip (just south of Owaka) my rear tyre blew at just under 100km/h on a short straight between two 75 k bends.
One very scary moment. My first thoughts were that I'd been shot, then, as my brain kicked into gear, I realised what had happened. I managed to keep it upright, (stuffed if I know how) but I had to let it drift over on to the other side of the road. Thank God there was nothing coming the other way.
I had visions of that poor biker that came to grief at almost the same spot a couple of weeks ago, but I guess somebody was looking after me.
I stayed clear of the brakes and let the motor slow me down. I know I couldn't use the rear one but maybe I should have used the front. Only experience would tell.
Any ideas? Although I would hope this will never happen to me again, advice may help others in the same situation.
So, there we are...me, sitting at home hearing all the bikers returning home past my gate. I think I'll open another one.
