“Anyway how did it go, have you arranged for Gareth to come up and give us a few tips on where to invest our hard earned dollars.”If you have hard-earned $$$ to invest, Malcolm, then I'm looking forward to my Goldcard (in one year, five months and two days, but who's counting) to see if I can save some by riding the trains for free. Got home 0430 this morning, caught a few zees, here I is again.Dr Morgan postponed (he had a lurgy!) Never mind, the counter revolution will be pleased if I acted as Typhoid Mary and spread my bug at large among the assembled Wellywoodians.It wasn't quite a futile trip: Robin Wood (Rangitikei), Dave Oldershaw (Wellington) and I became fill in speakers providing a bit of a view of what/how different area reps do. Lance (Unofficial Biker Mayor of Wanganui) Nixon was also there (as a part-time Suzuki rider myself I went, "Boo, Hiss!," at a V-Strom rider associating himself with Beemer people), sharing his exhaustive knowledge of things motorcycle, particularly access to safety funding at local body level that it could be possible to tap into. Bar Lance, I don't think the rest of us could challenge G. Morgan's celebrity.From my viewpoint, it was a long way to go to fire a volley of blank rounds, but as an ex-serviceman I am familiar with the syndrome: it's known in civvie street as "S*** Happens".
