Greetings to one and all, this ones come out a couple of days early, because I can OK? had a consistently slow week, while I wait for the final parts for the MHR to arrive, I've been saying that for a few weeks now, but I am in the lap of Chroming gods, and body work deliveries. Oh well time to clean the shop and even managed to get a couple of evenings in flicking a line or too. Been enjoying that, it's so similar to riding a bike. And before you say "Wha?", you kind of get in a zone space free of the natural intrusions of the day and you concentrate solely of what's in front of you, I find that with motorcycling, you zone into the immediate foreground and forget everything else. My comments last week re out there riding and acknowledging other riders hit a bit of a chord, so many people replied back say " I know what you mean, I experience that all the time isn't it great?". And it is great, the friends that i have made through motorcycling are life long friends, no dramas, no nothing just a common love of what we do. I did have one person I met the other night say to me " Ohhh nooo you'd never get me on a bike, what on earth do you see it those bloody dangerous things". I said " well if you have to ask you will never understand, and I for one am quite glad your not on a bike, it takes a certain sort of person". He didn't like that. I just looked over saw the waiter carry a bunch of full glasses by, and excused myself from the conversation, re filled my glass and carried on. I watched this guy watch me all night. Left with a smug superior feeling thaht we motorcyclist can get with a wry smile on my dial. So anyhows, here we are again. An eclectic assortment of images to peruse this week, I found myself wandering all over the place, so hope you enjoy.
