Had enough air heads in my time need to go lighter not heavier ! Though would luv a nice 100 GS PD. Next bike will be a WR250R just got to work how to get it.
You can mostly see the trucks coming by the dust cloud in the distance so u hide off the road then look on the truckers faces of WTF - the truck and trailer was more hairy as I didn't see it coming so we both had WTF moment
No was only a one off on Monday for me, for next article job. You know they were probably thinking the same about you
Small farmlots (small private plantations) are making up quite a bit of the log harvest lately, you can expect the big gear up those roads at anytime these days. Keep an eye on the wheel tracks, you can usually see if big gear has been up the road recently (and therefore likely coming back).
5.15am on Monday... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0N...ew?usp=sharing

When in Wairoa do not leave your helmet unattended on the beach.... No it didn't get stolen.......
Saw an older chap stuck in the mud with his 4wd by the river mouth by himself so went down to help... soon we had a few more helpers and a Terrano with tow line.
Right at the pivotal moment of success when we got it moving one of the helpers dogs pissed on my helmet, visor open..... #suckstobeme.....
One of those things that happens, lucky most of it stayed on the outside.... now undergoing full decontamination lol.....
Felt good to help someone out in trouble anyway

Todays mission was to explore Tarndale... ran into an old boss (one of the good ones) out of Gisborne so trip turned social and less exploring time though.
Funny as one of the local coppers turned up as I left and told him where I was going, "oh I wouldn't go there..." he says.... I'm still alive lol....
Didn't realise when taking these pics I could have ridden up this river bed to base of the slip but was getting late anyway.... Pretty good trip, Mount Arowhana looked impressive.
Motu mission for the next one I think...

Went for a tour around Mahia yesterday, Havnt been there for about 20 years, bloody holiday metropolis now. was in the company of a couple of road bikes so limited any serios exploring. Napier/Wairoa rd was starting to bleed on the corners on the way home. Stopped at the Waikare pub for a break (As you do) and one of the others asked if they should be riding through the shiny patches on the corners, wasn't sure what to say without offending them, so gritted my teeth and politely explained the probable result of leaning the bike over in wet tar. Good day for doing just under 600 kms anyway.
COP, "Ive been waiting to catch you all day"
BIKER "Sorry officer, I got here as fast as I could"
Yes Tar bleed is to be avoided but as long as your ready for the possibility of a slide and commit to it with keeping the gas on its no worse than riding in the rain. Thought it was lot better yesterday than it was couple weeks ago when the GSXR lit up in third coming off the 45k rise by mohaka twisties.... I didn't leave Gissy till about 630pm, great takeaway feed at Makaraka by the opotiki turnoff.
BTW livestock and wandering sheep were around in shocking numbers up Te Karaka way.... Someone seems to have finally culled the goats on wairoa road a little but still a few about.

Thanks for that R650R , Got it from the Napier library today.
They had to retrieve it from 'underground storage'. Seems that they deem it to be not so interesting anymore!! . . Way too much prime shelfspace used up with Cooking, Knitting & Rugby books.
Anybody keen on a short gravel ride Sunday , have just ditched the walking stick and need to ride . Looking at heading out back of Tuitira around ten from Bay View , if you're keen let me know . ( I will be off the pace a bit due to a still rooted knee )

He's not joking about the stick either, heard you dropped by Prob missed out on seeing more local ferals clobbered with it again...
Had a sympathy crash for you on Dingo, off to empty out mtb park now with my knee that looks like an Ebola outbreak "Yeah just got back from Sierra Leone...."
Will we stop for Pies at Tutira, I'm in ;p
