My wife’s off this week so that means a busy one for me. Went walking along the Birdlip part of the Cotswolds trail with the hounds this morning then got back and topped all our 12ft hedges, I’m knackered and its only Monday!
Collected new bike Test rode a V2S a while ago but didn’t fancy paying almost £19K for one spec’ed to my requirements. Bought from Blade Cheltenham for around half that, and absolutely perfect for me.
Watched that program about Ducati mentioned on another thread and then had the strong urge to ride my Panigale. 20 miles later I had the strong urge to put it away again, too much farm mud on the roads and too windy.
Spent all day sending reams of paperwork and many emails back and forth to my solicitor, as I wade through the joy of probate and the administration of my late parent's will. It's a loooooooong process. Nine months so far and counting.
I've just watched that Henry Cole programme with a £90,000 plus vat electric bike, No Way do i want something like that in my garage.!!!!!
Got back to Brisbane from New Zealand last night but too knackered to post pics then, so here we go.. Attention @Multirider75 ..food pics!! On Monday I went on the ferry with my cuz to Waiheke island just off the coast of Auckland, then a short bus ride to Owhiti bay,..lovely Me and my cousin “ TooTallTony”..about 6’5” he is Nice light lunch, Barramundi fish Tacos…yum! Bye Bye Waiheke,..probably never see you again A little evening meal.. Korean fried rice with Kimchee and bacon in it, a runny egg plonked on top and the compulsory prawns Not bad, just a touch dry tbh. The next day I visited the Sky-tower Cracking views over Auckland.. Also stood on the glass floor… But I could sense a few drops of “wee” escaping so I got off it sharpish ! It looks great at night when it’s lit up! That gave me a bit of an appetite so time for lunch Ship to shore again, we went halfies on the steak and prawns.. Have to say these Tiger prawns were just flippin awesome, washed down with a couple of glasses of Malbec And a late Plane back to Brissy Good weekend, I’d like to get back to NZ for a few weeks look around both islands, temperature was a lot milder than Oz, about 19 c while we were there, by comparison here in Brisbane today has been about 34c, but it’s so humid you can hardly bloody breathe Always feel sorry for the doggies over here, especially the long haired breeds, owners walk them about 5:00 am and 07:00 pm to avoid the hottest parts of the day. Laters people
