    Bryce pointed Sinfull out to me (was two seats away) but we had to get going to lift the siege on our Babysitter
    So I didnt have time to introduce meself
    Will make the effort next time I see him and ask for that tour of the back roads

    I had reasons for SH1 tho - had an new buddy riding with me (we hadnt rode together before) and a new bike (the ST with loaded top box) and the missus 2 up and and and ...(lack of kahuna's?)

    Just ride.

    Yes I enjoyed our little foray home thank you, i had held off the odd temptation of chasing, when the chap on the Gixer (?) took off on the odd occasion, but when we went around that way, i couldn't help but give it a squirt through them sweepers (it's the suspension set up test track, that one). We did bypass one turn off there which brings ya out right at the BP, saving a little more work in that sunday traffic Jam !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Awww righto, think i saw you and yr lady get up and leave, Just along from me !
    Haha ya wanna be carefull saying that, mate beleived me when i nodded "i think its that way" and we ended up at dreyers rock en route to Pahiatua from Dannevirke last week ! (that fella on the adventure bike sure looked like he knew where he was going, knew the bloody road thats for sure, haha we sure weren't in a hurry to take heed of signposts)
    That little detour behind Otaki is only a ten minute ride, if that, but can save ya thirty minutes or more sitting in a car and a traffic jam on a sunday evening !!!

    It's less about skill and more about self control I guess.

    I was working last Sunday but look forward to see you folks later on some Wednesday or Thursday night ride.
    Ride fast or be last.
