Im probably heading over to Masterton tomorrow morning and catching up with Dafe. Not sure what happens after that, maybe longish way home, not sure. Its gonna be medium-paced I guess. Maybe leave Caltex Rimutakas at 9:15am. Plan to get to Masters at 10ish?

Anyone care to join me?

Advanced apologies for envy related emotions.

Disclaimer - high winds means no trip for me thanks :).

Its all relative. The pace is dictated by how much I lean on the tank. slimjimdimsimtimwins!!! would attest to that.
Umm...yeah. Weather forecast.

Umm...yeah. Weather forecast.Yes, I did notice that if you hung under the bike, you did seem to go a little quicker.

I find if I use a zip tie on the throttle and hold onto the back of the bike, sliding my feet along the ground, it goes about 5km/h faster.

Cornering is a bit hairy though.

Why, is your chin on the ground?

Look at that wind.

Schadenfreude is such a little man's emotion.

Yeah....BAM!
I didnt make it this morning. Woke to the sound of the side of my house straining in the throws of Mother Nature's wrath (hoping TRTNR is not over the Takas tonight). Apparently Dafe didnt make it out either.
