As some may have gathered, I went to Taupo with WarlockNZ on the first leg of his Great North Island adventure (To make sure the Hobag didnt fall apart upon leaving the Greater Auckland Limits) :banana:
So here are the photos that I took, the weather forcast was for showers and rain, but yet again the Weather Geanie came to the party :)

Disappointed with the pictures there dude - thought this was a sequel to "Daisy does Dallas"

Warlock needs to put on some weight and fill those leathers out a bit.

Way to go Mav. Really stretching the legs of the Bandit! Howd it go on fuel??? I bet that screen made for easier progress along the Motorway. Cool pics- really nice bit of the country.

4 pots & no fairing? He needed a tanker following him all the way!:killingme:

Maverick's trip to taupo is the reason petrol prices have dropped - he had to buy so much they've made their projected profit for the year! :rofl:

Har Har, not quite,
At the moment I am getting around 200km off a tank (14L?) so about a tank and a half each way to Taupo.

The best part was at breakfast this morning, I was talking trash about Ho-bags as usual, and WarlockNZ was trying to defend his little Banana-mobile as usual, so I asked the cute blonde waitress to choose which bike she prefered...






It wasnt the Hobag. :Pokey:


Was a great trip, I was thinking that if half a dozen or so people were keen maybe we could book out a backpackers lodge for a nights cheep accomodation and turn it into a weekend KB event if anyone is keen?

What the? I rode down past there on the same day on my way to the KB welly ride. Figgers - but I guess I would have been safer being away from the slippery banana :lol:

Never mind, any excuse for a bike ride eh? :2thumbsup
