Well G'day, how's it all going out there. Been a busy few weeks that's for sure. Been up and down this island god I dont know how many times. Wellington twice, Manfield once, Lake Taupo a couple of times. It's been pretty hectic. So what's been happening, went to manfield to watch the classics, a really good meeting, some great racing and I mean great racing, nice bikes in the park, and some great company to hang out with. Met some people I haven't seen in years which was really nice. Travelled down to Manfield by Bentley which was pretty choice too. Glad it pissed down on Saturday as we drove down, it vindicated our decision to leave the bikes at home. However it was a different story on Sunday, beautiful sun shinny day, great temperature and fine all the way home. Been to Wellies for more medical tests which weren't that promising, still within range, but starting to get up there again. I've been down there applying for a clinical trial which is looking quite good this time. Funny last time I was too well!!!! So here we go again. Had to postpone my trip to the states as I have to be in Wellies once a month for the first 8 months, and I have a couple of procedures to undertake in the next few weeks as well. I kind of feel like I'm looking into a mirror and not seeing a reflection, it's all a bit surreal at the moment. But it is a path that i am on, so I have to follow it. Well, here we are, enjoy this weeks blog, and every day treat it like a gem, treat the people you are close to with kindness and relish every moment.





























Lovely old Jag, don't remember them looking quite like this though?


























 








Looking forward to my first trip down south in quite a while.











I have no idea what this is or does, but it's pretty fucking big


















It still blows me away that you can make marble look see through



















Ducati's new 450 single. Looks quite good.












































Looking more like Ice crystals than a boat harbor



The Maori battalion in Egypt, brave brave warriors who gave their all.










































Just look.








A 125 exactly like this scared the pants off of me when I first tried one. never experienced a light switch power band before. holy hell it was amazing 






And in a quiet corner of a shed somewhere in NZ a Norton waits

I love the new season and checking out the new MotoGP bikes, These images show the suspension drop on start, pretty amazing. And then there's the aero!!!!! Amazing the lengths that they are going to.










OK, that'
s all for the now, hope you enjoyed it. Enjoy the summer daze.
