It looked like it was gonna be a great day....I was out at o730 and made it around the back of Lake Karapiro....It was friggin foggy, really bad, hands were cold and hurtin'...
I came home and waited for the fog to clear...Took a detour to the Thompsons track and decided that was a bad idea.....Skating all over the show, made it back and washed the bike at the garage, best $2.00 spent in a long time..:) Lunch, coffee and a change of trousers...:)
At 1200 I headed out, this time around Waihi, Tauranga and towards Whakatane.
Tons of bikes out and yep, even a few ADV riders by the looks of it.
I turned off the highway and followed the Old Coach Rd to Lake Rotoehu and Rotoiti..
Wicked road, nice and clear and not a sausage to be see anywhere...
A Stunning day and enjoyable to be out there finally after all this ratshit weather!
Coming home across the Mamaku ranges this 990A barrels up alongside me and I try to hang in there but this guy is on a mission! You were obviously on a promise there...:facepalm: Passin' on the yellow line.....:shit: Risky shit on that road...Anyhoo...
Got home in one piece and gave the bike a bit of a clean, it can wait until tomorrow...:woohoo:
