    Went for a little blat round the Kaimai-Mamaku area...

    It looked like it was gonna be a great day....I was out at o730 and made it around the back of Lake Karapiro....It was friggin foggy, really bad, hands were cold and hurtin'...
    I came home and waited for the fog to clear...Took a detour to the Thompsons track and decided that was a bad idea.....Skating all over the show, made it back and washed the bike at the garage, best $2.00 spent in a long time.. Lunch, coffee and a change of trousers...
    At 1200 I headed out, this time around Waihi, Tauranga and towards Whakatane.
    Tons of bikes out and yep, even a few ADV riders by the looks of it.
    I turned off the highway and followed the Old Coach Rd to Lake Rotoehu and Rotoiti..
    Wicked road, nice and clear and not a sausage to be see anywhere...
    A Stunning day and enjoyable to be out there finally after all this ratshit weather!
    Coming home across the Mamaku ranges this 990A barrels up alongside me and I try to hang in there but this guy is on a mission! You were obviously on a promise there... Passin' on the yellow line..... Risky shit on that road...Anyhoo...
    Got home in one piece and gave the bike a bit of a clean, it can wait until tomorrow...

    Made the mistake of putting the thin gloves on....I stopped in Matamata and couldn't undo my helmet nor get my Eftpos card outta me pocket...
    Damn, where is a Wench when you need one to put her hand in my pocket and dig out my valuables...

    Make it three of four mate...

    She was very....VERY deep! I only got around the first two bends...
    I did see two quads there, idiots, short sleeves and a three year old on the front of the quad....I turned around but had to stick to the tram track as I couldn't steer at all....
    Thanks to the service station and the waterblaster, cleaner.....saved me setting up mine at home..
