Well what a day for a blat guys.

Decided budget could not meet the Coro loop plus had to visit my friend being a Sunday!

Had increased the front pre-load a 1/4 of a turn as front did not seem right even with new tyre and went one of those rides you do on your own to practice skills.

Route was Hunua Ranges....with that really looonnggg straight for checking the throttle.....quick dive onto SH2, left on the Miranda Road (Think I saw McJim and Chikadee , avoided the Food & Wine Festival in Kwhatsit ($5...geeze Devonport was $25).....stopped at end at that Dairy, had a V, bit of a chat with some fellow bikers, then off to Clevedon and back home.

Handling now sorted, front end well planted now...handled like a dream..yeah I know it's an SV guys but nothing beats a well sorted bike.........

Where else in the world can you go for a blat for a few hours with great roads and have a big grin at the end..............

Enjoy the week guys.

It was either McJim with Draco or me with Chickadee but we didn't ride together at all today :)

Lol :) I didn't notice your bike at all which seems strange so i'm guessing it was McJim... although I was concentrating hard when I went back that way as I don't know the roads...

But it was a grand day for a ride, we jsut need to ban all cage drivers from the road on days like this :)

Up and back to the racing at Manfeild through the Wairarapa on a mint day and it was awesome. A slight tailwind at times (nekid bike remember) and I was struggling to stick to MY speed limit. Mr Plod obviously sympathised on about three sep occasions :innocent:
