  1. Learner Friendly Ride to Cape Reinga Part 1 (18/11/2011)

    The thread (here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...20-November%29) had started ages ago, and the learners got more excited as the time drew nearer. Indeed… it seemed like it was akin to Christmas, with x number of sleeps to go.

    I’d asked the boss earlier in the week if I could skive off early, and provided we had everything done, he was fine with that. Things didn’t go according to plan however, as I got home around 3pm in the ...

    The fifth Capital 1,000Km Cruise is now done and dusted with 36 bikes starting and 36 finishing. (one with a hardy pillion).

    The route was an easy choice this year as it was rumoured last year that the Gentle Annie (Taihape – Napier Road) was to be sealed, so I prepared a route (along with a reserve) then once I saw from Banditrider’s Blog in July that this had been completed, I was soon on Mapsource to sort the finer details, finally coming up with a wee doozy that took in our new ...

  8. The Black is on the Road

    Just had the black and the helmet pinstriped for a bit more presence and vis. I used a reflective tape (in Wellington Colours) and had some scuff stuff added to reduce the damage from stone chips and scuffing where the red is showing wear.

    Just need to swap the GPS mount over now and she's ready to go.
