3 sleeps to go. The bikes are ready, the ferry is booked and we leave on Sunday.
Months of talking and planning, well not much planning, will come to fruition next week when we ride down to Invercargill to participate in the weekend celebration of Burt Munro. I'm not convinced a weekend of motorcycling racing will be the joy of joys - I know the ride down will be heavenly.
The interislander offer a group discount, publicised on the Burt Munro Challenge website - take your own tie-downs thay remind me every time I telephone and we have, this week purchased lovely new Oxford Wonderbar (careful how you say it!) tie downs that will keep our sportsbike handlebars snug and tight without damaging or rubbing the fairing.
My baby blade has been into the garage today for a check-over and all ok though I was warned I will need a new back tire when I get back from this trip. So she is safe and ready to go. Trumpy is getting his check-over in-house on Saturday.
Departure time? 2:15 ferry on Sunday 23rd November 2008. The boys are looking after the pets.

- Welcome to the ramblings of a beekeeping, yarn loving, motorcycler. Being a motorcycler is something you feel in your heart. It could be the feel of wind on your face, or the smell of the countryside, or the image, or, like me the challenge of riding on the track, the challenge of riding each corner the best you can.
