Also, props for continuing the legend of Hardcord GNing

It's good man, I need to be bit careful about slow corners because I feel bit unstable because I will be at lower revs than before so I'm not used to that feeling yet.

But now I'm sure I can beat your land speed record

P.S. Cleaning was pain in the ass.... gah! Take the chain guard off, front sprocket cover off, WD40s, wash etc etc :slap:

Its probly contain little salt as tides do come up to somewhere there.
Gijoe helped me clean it. I went to Squiggles place today and he told me chain needs more cleaning.

Will do it soon before I hit the Coro loop on Friday with SMC guys....

But yea it was great fun!

Well the Hornet Swarm Night City run morphed into the inaugural Hornet Swarm Rural Ride tonight, what turned out to be a little guiding tour for TOTO ended up with Tracy and Choco pootling along as well!

Did the usual ride around the back blocks of Drury and out to Port Waikato to see another beach ... and then tootling along part of SH22 before out to Mercer and along the Hunuas for a wee bit.

Popped over to Bombay for gas - both bikes and riders and from there made our merry way home, since I'm first home guess I better post up!

Damn, I think the other riders have done more klicks than me!

Mmmm looks like my Big Ol'Hornet has being going om nom nom on the bugs tonight!

2 beaches in two rides in two days ...

Mayhap another beach for tomorrow!

Y'know you are free to join us for a ride ... ain't nothing to do with naked or dual purpose since if its got two wheels and a motor, you can pootle along also!

I think we are just cheating and making Monday also on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ... in fact any day that ends in a "y" I guess

Great fun tonight also, good roads were those, we need to do them every time we get back from sh22 or from coro. absolutely mint

Saw some bros at port waikato, one dog, a few chickens but no goats - I was so looking forward to seeing goats eating seaweed

The hooligan now looks like proper Hooligan - dirty. Now I got an excuse to call me some bikini bike wash chickies to come wash it
