Oh, another rider in Panmure. Excellent. When any of the locals complain about "that hoon on a motorbike" in future I can blame you.
I should probably give the SV some exercise. And I have found some interesting roads around Lake Wossit.
But I would be far to slow for you . So indeed no doubt would I be for the dude on the scooter. (it's a Gilera actually. Not slow at all)

Of course, unless you plan on walking from Taupo back to West Auckland. :D
Naturally any schedule requirements at your end will be taken into consideration during ride planning.
As it stands, I had a client call through earlier, and I now have several hours of work that needs doing on Sunday evening, so I'll need to target a mid-afternoon home-time on Sunday at the latest.

I don't know if we'll be all about doing a full loop, but I'm sure we'll manage to find a few good bits of road here and there ;)

Lake Doodah. Dunno that one, just up from 'ho central y'reckon?
On that subject does anyone know if one can still get to Kopuku Landing? Landing, not Kopuku. One map shows a side road going their , another doesn't and my satellite shows what looks like earthworks all over it. Does Kopuku Landing still exist? I like going to places that don't exist.

there's a ride on to Bush's brain that might interest you then.

Nay, don't like going to scarey places, even ones that don't exist. That'd sort of be like a holiday excursion through Mordor I reckon.

Yes. I saw you this afternoon. It's very, umm, pink! Very pink indeed. Th's OK, the old biddies can't tell the difference between pick and orange. And everyone knows that those pink motorbikes are very noisy. And smokey.
