One of the ladies in our Far North Ulysses sent this to me just now, to publish in our monthly newsletter, no doubt inspired by Sundays ride. She is in her early 60's I guess, and rides a Savage 400 Suzuki. Hubby comes too but goes too quick for me to see what he is riding

Fandango




I grab Suzie's hands

throw my leg around her waist

ready to dance

through the Waipoua Forest




I swing my hips and she follows my moves

swerving round the corners

softening the sound of the music

I turn my hand and sweep it up again

screaming down the straights




the crowd is cheering

nikau palms waving, ferns and kauri

letting glittering sunlight through

like in a dazzling disco




my foot stamping one up one down

to the rhythm of sound and speed

hold on Suzie , let's keep dancing

until we reach

Omapere Beach
