Racey.Highway is all good with me, I was sitting between 100 to 120 & up to 135Km/h (for passing) all the way home from Auckland yesterday on my SR250 :2thumbsup
But I really don't care where I ride as long as im riding :Punk:
Apparently up Carrington road is a good ride (goes all the way to the coast above the mountain). Also keen as to ride out to the Whangamomona pub. That looks like a fun ride as well.
Naki ex rider here, awaiting trike...Oh sweet man, how far away is it?
Ill add you guys to buddy list. Flick me a PM whenever your keen. :scooter:

Always keen, but shift work and kids can stuff things slightly,so advance warnings and we can see what we can do... Barry (Pritch) and Kev (nadroj) know me well enough, I have selective vision on what I see..:innocent: Andre (Demonwolf) and others went out to Whanga a while ago...must be overdue to return?

Have had to move to Bellblock into a new house as the old one is no good for wheelchairs. However seeing as I come from the area, I'm sure I'll be about. Hows the 250cc coming along?

Haha "new", I like the sound of that! Yeah its going better now its running on all cyclinders, and looks pretty tidy now with the paint job I gave it. Still got a small electrical niggle which sees it blow the fuse when it gets hot(happened today just leaving Oakura), but apart from that it does the job.
