    Same old...


    Actually there is a East side to the Waikato....
    There are some great roads over this way. The thing is, a hour ride to get to a meeting place that is convenient to the few, I am happy to ride
    on roads less paved between here and tracks south...
    Ummm. Leslie, Cecil?
    Galaxy?
    Around the back of Reporoa for instance.....

    Yea I'm keen to head that way again sometime. Katuna and I headed out there on one occasion last summer.

    So you're still riding? Somehow thought you were giving it up?

    It Isnt really the same old same old for me Mark as I havent been out on some of those roads to awakino for 2 years now.

    I know there are some good roads over the east side as well, But there is too much tarseal to link them all up.
    Im afraid that west is best

    But Organize a ride over your way and I will be there if i can.

    Missed your text by half an Hour Dino, decided on a shorter loop to Waitomo and round Mt Pirongia.

    Out with the `Naki Boys ` next weekend for the Cape To Cape, so will clock up plenty of Km`s then
    Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time

    Good bit of literature there and that was obviously a popular name back then.

    Tell you what when I get back from PNG I'll pretend I'm from down there and come for a ride, Might let you go in front though as not sure if the KLR is up to hunting down your New 690R (in fact I'm sure its not)

    Still can see the Stone chips on the 950 from your last bike

    Later in summer when the tracks are a bit more Adv bike friendly I'll line up a weekend out at our block at Reporoa. Pretty easy to work out a scenic route over from the West side, lap of the 4x4 track, stay at hut, shoot clays, drink beers. Could even loop out around Rerewhakaaitu-Rotoma on the Sunday, late lunch at my place or Okere falls...

    Cheers
