G'day champions, well what a week eh. Lock down has affected ( or is that infected) us once again, I feel sorry for Auckland that's for sure, particularly for the people following the rules being affected by fuck wits, who for some reason don't seem to understand how this works, or think that they are above this. So Motofest is off for the now, and that is real sad. This weeks blog is therefore a little bit different, with a bit of other stuff that I like ( and hopefully you will too), that should lift your spirits just a little. Did a quick trip to Wellington this week and caught up with a few people which was great. Now I'm back and next week some more work on the Diavel has to be done, tyres, rear shock, got to get it ready for a trip darn sarf. Great to see the new Moto GP bikes getting out onto the track. I don't expect too much time wise from them, as they get used to the new machines and get back into the swing of things. The new Aprilia look's a bit wrong, like it has extended forks or something, but we will just have to wait and see how it goes. The new Ducati, well don't get me started, it is bloody gorgeous, and I am hoping that young Jack Miller does well o it. The new Yamahas look like more evolution than revolution, so we will see how that works out as well. Rossi seems to be full of beans ( but he usually is at the start of the season), I'd love to see a couple of more podiums from the guy, I know he has it in him, and the bikes are certainly proven. So bring it on, only a few more weeks and we are into the season. So here's this weeks installment for you all to enjoy, and please do.

There's an interloper in this picture, can you spot it?

One of the prettiest tanks ever made

Brave boys

Some of the best paint i have ever had

Seeing as we arent riding , some images from when we did

This paint was never polished after it was applied, it was that good.And those little allow stripes took ages to polish, bend and fix

Mates out doing the South Island

I loves trout that's for sure

A favourite of mine

Look at this....centralized mass to the extreme.

The bike Shed from London ( a great place to go), is opening up a shop in LA, how cool is this place? When travel opens up again, I'll definitely be going here

Looks like the new Aprilia MotoGP bike

A great shot by ASP.

These things were epic motorcycles, I loved em. They would do this ALL day

Done this a few times, it mostly doesn't work, but occasionally it did.

Bloody guy is not wearing ear muffs. How dangerous is that, when he gets old he's going to have Cicada's in his ears

Great shot, love it
