Well, all the lads have returned home from the jaunt around the South Island. No mishaps and only a couple of tickets. The tickets came from the dash cam of a car filming a couple of the guys overtaking on yellows. Not really the best but all safe. Our level of danger perception is far more attuned than a cars is. What is perceived as dangerous to them is a mile long gap to us. But there you have it. It is what it is and the points will hang as a reminder for 2 years. Speaking of which I actually have no points, pretty much a first time ever for me that's for sure. My last ticket was three Christmas's ago towing a trailer at 100KPH. Very naughty of me. The MotoGP season is in full swing, it looks like a Ducati trounce, but as it shows in MotoGP anything can happen, especially when you throw it away while in the lead. I must admit to really liking the new generation of GP bikes, the Aero is amazing, and it certainly highlights just how effective it is when you see the amount of downforce they produce under braking. So MotoGP, a few of us have decided to head to Sepang in October to take in a GP there. All due to that fact that one of us said that they'd never been to one, so off we go. Tickets all paid for and we are on our way. I love Malaysia, having spent 3 years there as a kid. My longstanding desire for Malay cuisine is well known.. It's next to nothing cost wise and from what I could see it's cheaper to fly there than to do a return to Wellington from here. Well just about, but you know what I mean ( was quoted just on $1000 return a couple of weeks back).. So that will be pretty good. Got my Guzzi up and running again, and have been out and about on that, shit I love it, it's slow, it shakes, it rumbles along, but it's just so nice to ride. Very happy again. The Paso is just about ready, I have a new plan for that. Managed to get the old mans Guzzi out from under cover. So all in all pretty busy. A few images down there is an old Spada Guzzi, very very similar to one a mate of mine had in England. This bike belongs to a friend of mine in the UK Ken Pridham. Well Ken passed away this week after a long battle with Cancer. All very sad. I always get the chills when I hear or see of someone I know who dies from cancers. Such a shame. Ride on Ken. So on on, here's the blog enjoy.

I dont normally comment on the ladies images ( as I dont want to be accused of being sexist), but this lady has perhaps the most perfect legs I think I have ever seen.

 

I've posted lots of Britten images over the years, but every tine a new one comes along that I haven't seen, I'll put it up

Colorful little warriors aren't they?

Be nice i9f they made this. A modern 944 would be good.

I love the usage of the older style Ducati logo's for this modern bike. It seems to fit so well.

Another one in Tauranga.

I want one of these so badly
