Can give good aural pleasure
I was just starting my ride up north at about 1:30, had just turned onto Coatesville-Riverhead Hwy from SH17 and on a short straight saw an RSV coming straight at me in my lane trying to overtake 5 or so cars. There was also another bike in front of the RSV that I didn't recognise (didn't have time to register, saw bikes coming at me and moved the hell left! Haha)... both of them were fully in my lane...
It was a great day for riding yesterday though!

Ah the fun of motorcyclingI was just starting my ride up north at about 1:30, had just turned onto Coatesville-Riverhead Hwy from SH17 and on a short straight saw an RSV coming straight at me in my lane trying to overtake 5 or so cars.

Haha, well the first guy didn't, or at least I didn't see him wave (he was probably too busy trying to get back into his lane!) but the guy on the RSV did. I love the look of the RSV4 and the RSV1000R.yea but did they wave?

I was one of the guys on the RSV4.
I was riding on my own on the way up to Welsford, then Mungawhai Heads. Stopped at the lookout on HW16 and had a chat to a couple of blokes there.
Caught up with the other RSV4 and RSV, GSXR & KTM RC8 in Welsford and had lunch there. We had a "Rather Brisk" ride back along HW16.
The RSV4 certainly has no problem keeping with a GSXR1000. And the RSV4 was stock and not run in, while the GSXR was 20,000km so well bedded in, had a pipe, Velocity stacks and retard eliminator, and the rider was 24kg lighter than I am. (Cos Im a little more portly that desired)
The RSV4 is an unbelievable bike to ride. It truly is. And I have done many many km on the latest GSXR1000s, CBR1000RRs etc. The RSV4 is better! No question.

Just got internet back (Woosh hates rain/storms).
Hahn:Were you in the group of guys that arrived as me (on the RSV) and the RC8 were waiting on the opposite side of the road?
Was a great day for riding and had some fantastic company (for a bit anyway LOL).

Yeah that was me, glad we didn't lead you astray saying there were no cops
Hope the weather picks up again so we can have some more days like that!
Haha you guys must have had everybody you passed staring lol
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Pleasantly bacon-free, indeed!Lovely day & a lack of plod made Hw16 awesome.
With the lack of crashes or accidents on that road, the police presence is completely un-neccessary!

Yes that would be bloody good.Pleasantly bacon-free, indeed!

But truth be told, if I lived on HW16 and had bikers passing my home at over 250kph with loud pipes and hitting the redline then Im sure I would be getting a bit annoyed. Hence they probably feel the need to request the police to spend some quality time there
Not hat I would ever do that cos Im an angel
