Nonsense... mine hasn't felt any different since 60 odd k. I reckon Hondas need a good 100k on them before they're happily broken in.

In other news... 40k? You even been riding it?

Haha, because then I don't need to ask others for a hand to oil my chain after only covering 360km (which isn't even 1 tank by the way).

Arse is getting accustomed to riding again, so the Capital Cruise weekend of same km in less time, no issues. Nice comfy bike aye?

'sigh'...everything has to be a competition...even breathing!

But we were participating to win? See... they weren't ours, and bikers are well known for turning a bit of fun karting into carnage, so I was only trying to keep that rep up.

That... and someone was always in front... I had to be in front of them

See.... I just don't believe this when it comes from a Suzuki rider... As I did mention... we let him win, it was his birthday after all. We were actually thinking of you, and what you would have to put up with, if we did beat him. No no, no need to thank us.

Definitely sounds like something I'd say...

Gremlin, I bet you figured out why I was wearing the gloves by the end of the race.

Also it seems you and I had completely different experiences from the gokarting, but it's lonely at the top.

... I was probably grinning like an idiot...

So, just your normal facial expression then?

Good writeup Unfortunately I couldn't attend the event

Also, Wanpo's douche-bag grin and self-congratulatory attitude at work the following Monday:

True story bro!

Ah yes... should have put something in about that... stuffed. Even sore the following day...

Oh how I chortled reading this! Good to see some fun being had safely! I remember my own karting experiences so could well relate to all of this!

Good effort to all involved and Wanpo ended up first on the podium!

So how were the forearms at the end?

Hey cheffy, you know that a Mangamukas ride would be around 700km? Something like this: http://g.co/maps/mwnmm coz you have to do Opononi/Waipoua Forest as well.

Yes... I was wondering where the video was...

Yep, they are very handy. Tape as well, and tie downs can be used for multiple things in emergencies, including as a tow rope.
