What an amazing day out :sunny: For mid May this is just a gift from above. Thank you weather Gods. It's fine warm days like this that remind you what motorbike riding is all about. The bike has earned a spit n polish and well deserved rest...until I do it all over again tomorrow.
In fact the past few weeks have been brilliant - for those in the Welly region anyway.
If you were not out riding today...do you have a pulse?:doctor:

You looked like you were having fun MD!!:rockon:
We passed? I saw so many bikes out Rapa way my arm was getting sore from waving. Sorry if I didn't wave. And yep, I gave the bike a right good thrashing.

Hehe, it certainly was a perfect day for every mad biker and his dog to be out!! I think I passed you on the hill at some point, then I saw you on the way home as you were going around the summit, looked impressive (as always!!)

We were at the summit and I knew it was you coming round the left hander with looking. :rockon:

Of course. Except when it's not.
We all need to take advantage while it is so nice.

Gutted, we were building a retaining wall, could hear the HD's going up the slight incline of SH1 not far from our house.

The wall looks good tho.

22 and raglan were mint.. until dark then it got cold wet and dark ( read dark visor )

no worries about tar melting, unwanted bodily odors from sweating like a rapist as you throw the beast around or plagues of insects clogging up your sinuses

I was thinking the same thing...no riders at the top of the hill to chew the fat with...but what a day!!

Right, better weather up there than down here in Invers then. It's not really what you'd call bike weather. More like penguin weather. Too crap for your average duck!
