Tauranga ride, from the summit this morning... the cam clapped out just before the Kaimais (so I missed 2much's mono sorry) the bumps switched it off :angry: but got some great footage anyway.

These photos are pretty bad quality (off video cam)

Sorry I didnt go the whole way guys, Id have liked to get Oliv doing a mono or a stoppie:blink:

Enjoy...

Yeah way too much, it sucked really, pretty much harleys and the stinky people who ride them :finger: .
Had a nice duke monster 900 with dual zorst's :gob: and a couple of buells but other than that it was boring.

Nice stoppie by that man:niceone: (he knows who he is). You would never catch me perform such anti-social shenanigans, I'm too responsible!!!:innocent:

Cheers for the ride guys, shame it was cut short but all is good now. Bike is stripped and shouldn't be too much to repair.:crybaby: BTW, there were 3 of those lumps on the tyre by the time we got home!:eek5:

Olivia's fine, bit sore in a few places and constantly complaining about it (me poking her bruises for fun probably isn't helping tho!:Pokey: ). She'll be right and back on it when the bike's fixed.

Excuse me, better go and hide the GSXR keys before she gets any ideas.....:msn-wink:

Another great day out, Mark good to see you guys got home ok, did you guys swap bikes ??:yes:

Glen , I must say the young fella on the back did a great job he's just added another dimension to the phrase tuck in, mate he was like your shoulder bag . well done young fella:2thumbsup.

Well done Wayne pics were excellent credit to your enginering skills that camera mounting was very proffesionally made ( looked like a brought one though :bleh:

As for those bloody show offs where did they come from one minute they were there in my mirrors, next second they were gone. one just missed me I had to pull over and catch my breath:sick:

I thought you were a Police officer, going by a couple of your previouse posts ie.

he then said my name, and i realised that i had pinged him for drink driving about 4 years ago (must have left an impression huh?). i locked his car, and told him he could pick up his keys from the station in the morning.

Nah not me mate (thank god, would like to think the suzook will last a little longer than that!). Unfortunately the missus had a little offroad excursion, nothing too major and hopefully both her and the bike will be fixed up and ready to ride in no time.

I made it out of nylon sheeting, bolts through the fuel cap bolts (I can still refuel with it mounted) and has a hieght adjuster for the front.

Good to see fun was had.

Really need to get on a ride over the Kaimais with y'all to see how I match up to your assorted rider skills. Caught up with a small group of those 'harleys and the stinky people who ride them' and got some funny looks when going down the waikato side only useing one hand while these folks were struggling to keep it between the lines lol.

We do 12 hr shifts, 2 days, then 2 nights then 4 days off.
Gets a day later each week (8 day cycle). We have been short staffed the last 6 months so we've all picked up extra shifts.
Works out that I am sleeping or working about 35 weekends each year.
