    Bit of a ride round the block with a few characters today. Just did the Pohukura-Minginui-Waikaremoana-Erepeti-Tiniroto leg then back to the bay again.
    Some rain, LOTS of slushy mud and Deadfall trees but a magical ride through some beautiful countryside as always. Then even had hot pies at the lake!
    Some nasty rain ruts just before Minginui but otherwise road in good shape. Logging operations at Pohokura end so expect the road to get roughed up a bit.

    I wondered how you blokes got on.

    I REALLY wanted to get across for this, but work wasn't keen on giving additional leave just now.

    It's been pissing down here in Wellington & I was watching the rain radar to see how you got on with the weather.
    IT'S JUST BETTER WHEN THERE'S TWINS INVOLVED..

    The rain was good, just enough to keep the dust and sunstriek away that normally plague the first section. Was a very warm 12 deg or so...

    The're all cute til you get too close, then you suddenly realise why our ancestors had no qualms about making raincoats and hubcap covers out of them.... quite common around the bay now (seeing seals not clubbing them), especially up Waipatiki rocks walk or Kairakau.

    Newbie to Adventure/Trail rides wanting some riding buddies to tag along with

    Hi All.
    I'm in Napier and with it warming up and daylight savings time again I'm looking to get into a bit of biking when family and work allow. None of my mates have anything road legal so Just looking for some locals to go for a ride with and see some of the sights possible on big dirt bikes.


    Cheers Craig

    does any former KLR owner really ever part with their KLR; they're forever scorched onto your motorcycling DNA.....but you can get counselling for it.

    What next indeed............

    Well, well, well ~ That is the question??? What to get next...

    I want something with some zip to it, meaning it puts a smile on my face every time I ride it

    But, I now want something that is comfy on the road too.... The KLR met the latter of the remarks, not the first!

    Lol no, actually spend very little time on fixing it. Most of the maintenance and fixing dramas have been caused by bad diagnosis/jumping in with both feet and adding farkles. And remember it is 25 years old.
