16 days, 16 rides, time for work
« on: January 03, 2011, 09:13:09 PM »
I've just had the past 16 days off on holiday, I'm sure I would have heard if the prison burned down while I wasn't there. :D
Very unusual for me to get both Xmas and New Year off, the boss must either like me a lot or be happy to be rid of me for a few weeks! ;D (as the union Chairman I'm thinking it's the latter) ;)
Every day, blue sky, get up have breakfast with Jaffa before she goes to work, go to my gym and do a workout, a little house work (just to prove I am slightly useful) then whell out the 650 and go exploring.
I don't know how many miles I've done, never thought to check the meter 16 days ago, all I know is I've loved it.
My 31 year old CB650PZ never missed a beat, required only a clutch cable replacement and did me proud on the motorways.
I was thinking of betting another bike, now I'm thinking it would have to be an additional bike to my "Blondie".
As a decoy cop bike I've been responsible (just by my presence) for untold lazy people putting their seat belts on (it's the law here) and many dropped phones (talking/texting while driving is also unlawful) and made a few hot heads slow down so we don't reach 400 killed on our New Zealand roads this year.
All in all I've had a great break from work and now I'm quite happy to go back to let someone else take some leave.
Enjoy your riding, stay safe, watch them bloody cars...Hush.
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

I've been a bit the same - ridden the CB nearly every day since xmas eve, and was supposed to go back to work today, but was having way too much fun, so am taking this week off as well. Stuff it. Hope the boss understands, hehe.
Changed the oil and filter today and a few other little maintenance things and heading out again for the next 5 days hopefully.
Sure beats the crap outa working........ ;D
