Yeah well it started off okay, nice quick ride down 22. only went as far as the hot springs, came back still dry, saw a KBer I think (suzi 1000) something or other, waether still okay, popped out to Port waikato, quick coke and statrted to head back, detoured up to Onewhereo(beacuse I can) just starting to rain a bit, on to Tuakau, followed a nice looking Harley for a while, then the temptaion was too much, waited for a nice staright bit of road, do the right thing, funny as I started to pass I could swear I heard the growl of the HD increase, obviously did like some shitty Jap bike trying to pass him, :bleh: , anyway great thing about this bike is..... never saw him again, if your from this site and reading this HD dude :wavey: Nice looking bike.

So home for a drink, and reflect on a good afternoon ride, hope the weather clears up so I can do it again, still have trouble understanding why some don't like 22 ??

One day, you and me are going to have to go for a decent ride together.

Seeing as we both have a reputation for people crashing on our rides and all :bleh:

WT, I think you may be sadly disappointed, I don't think I could come anywhere near you pace, it would ,however be good to meet for the consumption of some rum/bourbon...

Mate, the only thing that disapoints me are people who leave their bike sitting the shed only to look at.

I ride with a large crew of folk down here with varying skill levels. It's all fun man.

But, if you're buying, mines a Jim Beam. :soon:
