Regrettably I don't see fuel allowance for an extra 400km ( one weeks commuting )in the budget.

We were cruising along quite comfortably, untill I saw the gravel. As I had previously ridden this road on the XR when I went to the One Night Stand, I knew that the gravel went on for quite a long way. After telling Vanessa that the gravel went on for ages, she was still keen to go across it, and as I knew it was a pretty well kept road, I agreed to it and we continued on at a very ginger pace. As Vanessa plodded along, I had a bit of fun creating some dust clouds and testing out the traction of Pilot Power 2's under adverse conditions

. 30ks later, we were finally back on the seal, and headed for Masterton (another 60k to go) as it begun to hose down. After a stop off at the Mobil, we headed off over the hill, and back home. I think next time when I mention that there's a long amount of gravel, we might be turning around hehe.

Haha you knw I will follow you anywhere :P

Nah long gravel ill make sure im on the xr next time just like cold kiwi
