Kapiti Weekend Rides

[Hans]

Wasn't a bad ride at all. No plod and not much cowshit. Just the way I like it. Good to put some faces to names.

Hey Chickie,

Next time wait up for us We cater for all riders, all styles, all speeds and its great to get new riders join us. No pressure from any of the other riders and lots of fun and laughs to be had. Next time??

What a day we had. I decided i could better spend the hour cooling my heels doing chores, by riding over to Rimutex to meet the team, I had no idea who was going to be there as everyone seemed a bit vague, But what a spectacular turnout. Onwards to Martinborough where calamity befell Hamish when his R6 dumped all its coolant on the side of the Square Goodbye Hamish and James (we thought)

The rest of us proceeded over the nice back roads to Masterton to fuel up and meet Stormer, then onwards to Castlepoint. I have not been out this way before and loved the road. It was (mostly) clean, and warm, good Wairarapa riding. Great to see you there Hans

A bite to eat, photos to be taken and then to the Gladstone. where Hamish, James and Wayne appeared as if by magic (Hamish owes his mum big time for trailering over a replacement bike and taking the R6 back home)
Geez - you got a great Mum Hamish

Another fuel stop (human fuel) in Greytown where Hamish expressed concern about the Harley oil spots on the road outside the Swan. Better a few oil spots then a load of R6 coolant aye Hamish

It was an awesome Wairarapa day, great friends and their gorgeous machines. Reminds one of what its all about. What we gonna do tomorrow

[Stormer]

What a sweet ride today, cool fun.
Well done again.

What kind of shape are the roads in over in the 'Rapa? Looking at Mastertons rainfall over the end of the week, 2mm from 9:00am Weds to 9:00am Fri, it would seem you missed the deluge we got over this side.

The Paekark Hill's had a lot of cleanup work done on it but it's still in "approach with caution" mode.

absolbloodylutely MINT. We got about ten drops of rain last week. Roads are clean and dry. Green splodge from winter all dried up Lovely riding days are back

[carbonhed]

Amazing.

I remember going to a mountainbike race somewhere way out near Riversdale Beach. We left in the pissing rain thinking we were hardcore MTB's, spent the day baking in sunshine and drove back to the same pissing rain in the evening.

Keeps life interesting I suppose

Won't be the same without you and the mighty Wing

[Big Col]

Lotta people dont like a big slow Wing on the rides, but its a real comfy bike to ride. I still got the jew burner and enjoy that too.

gidday people, It was my birthday yesterday and I was allowed to take my race bike out for the day, WOW!!! I forgot how fast the bloody thing is. I made a daring dash over the haywards thru to u/hutt and saw some family before doing a mission to beat my bridge to bridge time, alas I was 23 seconds slower but still an awesome acheivement as I havnt been on the bike for about five months now. The next fine weekend if anybody is going out let me know cos I might be allowed to aswell, I TRULEY MISS THE 300 PLUS MAN!!!
