OK, OK this ones earl;y but that's only because I've gone riding with my mates. I'm out of blogtion for about 2 weeks while I head south for the Britten festival at Ruapuna. Big nice ride with some good mates should be a lot of fun. Will take a shit load of images and run a special here in a couple of weeks time. Anyway here's this weeks set of images for you, I've made it double hard and double large just because you wont get your fix next week.

Enjoy and ride.

Now I was going to ride my Guzzi to Ruapuna, but I decided that it is still in its formative days and really needs a couple of months running close to home and shops. The lads from Motomart have lent me a bike to go away on. Now how many shops will do that, I said where do I sign and they said "oh don't worry we know you". Fuck I laughed and said "obviously not that well, see ya". Haha, But seriously Motomart have been fantastic and I have to say that's it's the best shop I've ever dealt with, bar none. Go there you wont be sorry. That's my shameless plug for the week. Oh they wanted to lend me one of these below, but I thought "Nah I want something a bit more you know Hooligan I guess. KTM 950 Super Motard, thanks Todd great work mate perhaps I will buy that Diavel afetr all.

 I had one of these, they were epic, it has to be said, absolutely manic balls out nutter motorcycles, if you find one buy it, if you find one and dont buy it let me know.

 One of the prettiest motorcycles ever made, I tried to buy one but could not get my knees into the cut outs, $20,000 a way back when houses cost the same.
