That was you that rode with us for a bit in the beginning? Hope you had a good ride.
We went to Ngaruawahia, then back up to huntly and through some other back roads and stopped at pukekohe to watch the racing for a bit on the way back.
bane joined us on the way down at the tuakau bridge.
It was an interesting ride on SH22 with the usual bumps and pot-holes, the pheasants, the hawk that took off from the side of the road almost into me, the cow that was waiting just off the road around a corner and the wasp that got trump-lady...
Anyway, thanks for the company everyone, it was a good day. :)

Haha...who was 2_slow u or us hehehehe
well you missed the attack of the killer wasps (say more than one wasp out loud and youll get waspspsps)
A weird day really....
I finally got a fairing...yes fairing (not knee down) dunno how? scraped pegs and my shoes...nearly binned but used the look and lean instead of my usual target fixation and the gods granted. Lost my tail end a few times but rode the most comfortable quickest ride ever I think with out being silly.
Went to the track for the first time and I was blown away. It was not what I expected at all and I started itching to give track day a go. Then I heard the horrible news. I just watched the news cause I dont beleive it, Just horrible. So needless to say my first track visit was both amazing, wonderful and horribly sad :(
Thanks guys for letting me tag along. I had an awesome ride and really enjoyed your company. I will def look for your names for rides in the future. We had a great day, great weather and ex company and most importantly we had a great ending .........that unfortunately some didnt today.
R.I.P

Scrap pegs? try scrap fairings instead - ask trump-lady how.
It was a good day - not many cars, not too hot, good company - enjoyed the ride immensely. Those sweeping corners are just awesome.
Was really tired when I got home, crashed on the couch and watched the news - sad indeed - RIP.
