Good on ya, the more bikes on the road the better... until it reaches critical mass and a spontaneous nuclear chain reaction

Thaeos, you like to watch things explode I'm guessing

Well who doesn't! It's modern entertainment, disaffected youth and all that.

Umm... no-one. Was 'old' entertainment too. But we were more ineffectual youth

Good on ya Smiffy and Wife (Wifffy?) - and your bike sounds like a goodie. Where in CNI are ya? I'm based in the King Country, but o'seas at present. Enjoy your riding Mate - I'm stuck on a 40km long island, and despite the fine roads and constant sunny weather......

Thanks again for all the welcomes! I got your PM Blackbird, and will reply when it lets me (need to get busy posting). I had to work Yesterday, so no riding, but I got out for a small scoot today with Wfffy. Headed down SH32 from Tokoroa to Pukawa and took a couple of Pix of the bike (first pix and all that), then fuelled up at Tokaanu and on to Turangi for lunch. Had lunch in the Rose Garden at the Mustard Seed cafe - felt a little like eating lunch in a cemetery with the fleur de lis fence around us. Another customer in the cafe warned me to watch out coz all the nannas in town were perving on the bike lol.

After lunch we headed to Taupo, and since things were still going well, decided to go SH5, rather than 1, so blatted up to Vegas, and back to Tok.

Will put up some of the pictures we took.

Over-cooked one of the corners down the western side of the lake, which earned a Karate chop in the ribs from 'er on the back, once we got onto an even keel again, think I worked out where I went wrong and had a pretty good run from then on. Nothing that a few more miles won't fix.
