Hi AllI zapped through to Reefton today with Waza and the rest of the Cantab troops. It was awesome.Over lunch I came up with a fantastic offer for register members.There were quite a few 1200GS's on the ride, most of which appear to be in the Fendalton Tractor bracket i.e. never going to be off road.So, here is the offer.Want some street cred? Want to look like you walked the walk? Want to talk the talk without getting your pinky white fingers a bit dirty?For a small fee I will come and pick up your patheticallyu clean bike, ride it to a dirty paddock somewhere, and cover it in muck. I'll then take it back to your place, where you can impress your mates with stories of how tough you have to be to take a 1200GS off road like you have (yeah right).For an extra fee I'll also put dirt on your boots. The extra fee depends on the size of the boot.Muppet, I'll do your 1150 for a special price, as I'll enjoy getting your one dirty.This offer is for a limited time. After the initial trial period I expect to be putting my prices up.Come one, come all, I'm expecting bookings to be brisk.Ka kite.Daffy The Dirt Devil 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

You might be on to something here. The 42nd traverse idea is certainly not getting any bites.

Mind you Daffy, if you EVER come on one of the GS rides we can make sure you get your fair share of mud to ride through.  There would be some irony in seeing a police officer stuck in the mud don't you think?

Interesting....while I was at Daffy's house today watching all your tax payer $$$$ go towards the installation of a solar panel to provide free hot water for his dogs jacuzzi, I pointed out that the supposed "surface rust" on the spokes of our GS's was just hardened gunk which comes off with the very gentle use of a flat nose screwdriver.  This revelation managed to raise the eyebrows of the aforementioned duck billed platypus and I even got an excited "really?" in a "I can't wait to whip out the WD40 and Steelo once he buggers off" kind of way.  Doubtless the bread fed Avon River dweller is in his garage right now scrubbing his spokes as he yells out to his partner "I'll just be another 5 minutes love!" in the fruitless attempt to get his bike within a gnat's balls distance of being as clean as mine.  Sad innit?

Sad innit?

Maybe, but it's highly entertaining. I am so motivated, I might wash my bike soon. Maybe it's not black after all.

Right, in true Winstonian style, let me set the record straight.My Lawyer spoke to Muppet yesterday, I did not. The donation I don't know about was made to a secret trust. My spokes are just as dirty today as they were yesterday, with dirt on them. As the owner of Filth My Ride, I need the credibility dirt brings. My choice of Muppet to front Make My Ride Spotless was clearly outstanding. How many other people find out "by accident" that they can scrape grime off a GS spoke with a screwdriver?Bring on the BMWOR Privileges Committee.
