It's a toss up between going to work, catching up on some needed study, or going for a ride.

What?

Weather forecast is looking good. Would love to join you for part of way, but sadly not possible.

Won,t be able to write as good a story as Andrew, but here goes, Day did not start to good, overcast @ bombays, looked like shit, no one turned up, so what to do,ah Fuc# it go anyway.
went via matamata,nice blat over the Kaimais, up to TGA meet a collegue from Fire Service, quick cup of cafine, meet up with Cajun, called into see "What" in his lovely country home, bit of a yarn (about bikes ,what else is there)Then Cajun kindly lead the way back over the Kaimais for a great little blat:D :D :D Ye hah.

Cajun kept me company to Matamata, then headed back over the hill, lucky bugger,now I head to SH1, up to cambridge, back way to morrinsville, smoko(more cafine) along to Tahuha, back across to 27, then across to Ngatea, more cafine, grab some gas, now let me think, yes I am very close to Waitakaruru, yeah might as well go back via miranda-kaiaua-kawakawa, clevdon
Drury- Pukekohe, stats for the day, 4 cafine fixes, and assorted shit food, two fills of gas, 500+ kms, saw 5 cops, owe my license to the cage driver who flashed me on h/way 27 near kaihere thanks dude.
Thanks also to "Cajun" for comin for a quick blat, and to "What for yor hospitality

Sorry I couldn't make it FF.

As I sat in meetings all day I thought of you and the ever brightening day with quite envy. There's nothing more frustrating than working from home, for yourself and still having to miss out on a ride due to work !:argh: :argh:

Glad some one got to enjoy the weather and the day.:niceone:

No worrys firefight
Was a little bit of a slow ride just got brand new rear pads and bead blasted rear discs on wesnday so was trying to bead them in correctly.

But was all good, catching up with a few kiwibiker boys.
And a short blast over the hill and back the other side(my favourite bit of road, then back again to do some more work)

Cheers

Hey Dave
Sorry I couldn't make it (conscience got the better of me) but I kept thinking while I was at work how much more pleasant it would be blasting over the Kaimais...
Glad you had a good ride. I assume the weather improved once you got past the Bombays?
