might be interesting, 'cept wil be racing at Ruapuna on Saturday. Altho the ride on sunday might be possible, haven't been out on a decent ride on the Buell for a couple of weeks.

Its a Canterbury motorcycling race meet, king of ruapuna round 1, I think.
Doesn't cost to come out and watch, racing usually starts about10ish I think. I will be in buckets/streetstock and pre82....on no 99 :banana:

So whose into this run on Sunday? Might tag along to the Hurunui. With the BBQ can't see too many eating at the pub.

Hopefuly will try to make it. Depends if I can drag the other lazy arse out of bed, whether the weather holds, and how my achy body is feeling in a couple of hours. Yesterday was hard work at the track but damn good! :2thumbsup

The weather's a bit shity but up to the Hurunui is not a big run if the runny custard starts. Might go to the saus sizzle for breakeeeeeeee.

Sorta tagged along in the rear. About thirty odd bikes. Pie and beer at the pub then all moved off at their own pace.

Got home then went fishing at the Selwlyn. All in all..............great day.
