went for a ride today

Sorry I didn't get it on camera. But yes some riding was done between cafe stops,bullshit talking,bike repairs and transporting,refueling, doorknocking YOD, yada yada yada.

Heres my report - Yamaha XJ650 still running strong after 27 years.

1/ Vinager Hill turnooff
2/ Cowboyz is not a violent person
3/ Rare photo of a SUZUKI getting technical assessment and tweak

Really enjoyed the day must get out again in another 6 months or so.

fantastic photos. All fair in love and bikes. And where would our rides be without the intermissions?

Good to catch up with you again Gary
Good ride today even after the late start

Nice pics Garry. Good ride too!

Just what I always wanted my own thread not started by me and people posting on it.

Think I got about about 200ks on the bike with no issues at all except the poor brakes, acceleration, and lack of fairing. Good points were it looked and sounded good until it was started and didn't gussle to much fuel or oil.

This bike is able to manage some of the longer rides so I may be at some of the more lesurely paced lower north island rides.

Thanks Chancey. I like to let Cowboyz have a turn at being at the front towards the end of a ride so he goes home happy. Despite the rumours I'm not a complete bastard.

If he didn't get his comfort/nico drug fix stops every few K's I don't think he would be a happy camper.

I like that you humour me. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. And don't worry. 'Complete' is not a word that comes to mind when thinking of you.
