JohnnyFlash' Cruisin

Well the weather was just too good to pass up, So we set off 9am from Nth Shore to Papakura to fill up, Down SH1 and left onto SH2, roads were dry and reasonably heavy with cagers and bikes. Headed to Paeroa and on through the Karangahake Gorge to Waihi where there was a market day with some added attractions, the hotrod/vintaqe boys had some nice looking cars and bikes on display, some interesting machines. On to katikati and lunch for Lo & I. After a break we tagged on to a couple of Trumpy's for a while, (sounded real nice) all the way to Tauranga, dont know why we went there, one city is like all the rest, but we had a quick look around the city centre, why do people have nothing better to do on a saterday than clog up the city Yuk, so we headed west real quick, Out to Greerton for a fill up and on down SH29 through the Kaimais. Bloody great run through here, good to stretch the 1500's legs and lay some corners.. We then took a left at Rapurapu rd and on through Selwyn and Waiomou, and yes Waylander we found Okoroire Rd, followed it looking for the Oko Pub, ended up at the other end of this wee road in Tirau without seeing any pub...(was it that small?). Once again heading along SH27 to Matamata and on to Ngarua and Patetonga, then finally mangatarata where it joins SH2 once again and on to Maramarua and Mangatawhiri for another fill up.. then up the Bombays and home to the shore.
All roads were in great condition, no crap, one or two potholes here and there for the unwary, but generally all fine for a good paced cruise and real nice sweepers for the big bike. (nope didnt hang the boards once)
We will be keen to do this run again..
