Gonna be heading up to Auckland via Hamiltron from New Plymouth this Sunday 2nd October.... any takers?

It'll be the first major trip on the TL.. then will be hanging around the Mount for about a week (even though my supervisor doesn't reckon I'll be up that long.. hah! Lets see how long I can drag out a data extraction exercise.. muwhahaaha)

Well.. the weather didn't hold out too long... got to Mount messenger and it was pouring down.. yay! and it was wet\raining\drizzling till I got to auckland.. Saw quite a few bikers out there.. and managed to hook up with a couple riders just outside the auckland area.. basically followed them till my turn off. Other than a couple close calls.. One with a truck (in a driveway), slippery corners.. it was a good ride..

A big thanx to Sensei for changing my Chain and sprockets.. the bike is once again rideable at low speeds!
