Hawke's Bay Ride Outs - is anyone there?

[R650R]

You'll notice I'm always way out in front of way behind in dusty conditions. You can see the gaps in my K&N air filter. I might as well not have one. The camera has had a hammering over the last 4 years and is still hanging in. Getting towards 20 000 shots without a service, been wet a few times, shaken like shit, and just doesn't want to die. I've buggered a lens though.

Cheers

Yeah my old 500D with 18-200 been a bit wet and dusty a few times too and survived. Just had a sensor clean and for sale along with a few other bits at photoworks on Hastings st in Napier.

You could always plug the holes with some mattress foam, I'm sure thats what Suzuki uses in the factory standard ones, they look awful!

Awww shucks. It's really just an excuse for me to ride really fast and get out in front of the dust.

It's a bit like fishing (but without dealing with stinky fish). You really don't know what you're going to get. Sometimes I go home with no good photos, but days like the other day you get a heap of awesome shots.

[Waipukbiker]

Yeah, Thanks again mate for the awesome photos. Lex was impressed with the photos you took of his "Toys"

Ok you lot, this is for a social get together prior to Xmas, Sat the 22nd at the Classic Club Rooms, Club opens at 2.30 pm and its opposite the Mangaroa Cemetry. There will be heaps of bikes there so we need to get some Adv bikes there to add some "Reality" to the occasion.
Myself and xrJohny are members there anyway and the club is inviting friends of members along so keep that afternoon free and hope to see you all there.

Sorry, way too busy that day. X-mas work do from hell. Starting wayyyyyy earlier then that too.

[GPS MAN]

Pretty close to Christmas...have to see how things workout...

Will keep you posted as to my attendance

[Night Falcon]

I'm can't make it Ross, too many other engagements, but thanks for the invite mate. I'm fully booked every weekend to 2013....its good to be so popular

[DR Girl]

I will see a bit closer to the day Ross. Thanks for the invite
You enjoy yourself Marty Don't over do it though

[Waipukbiker]

Yeah, Im aware that its a pretty mad time of the year to fit everything in but just thought Ide throw it out there and see what happens.
The classic club have their monthly ride on the last Sat of each month and end up at the club rooms for a few afterwards, the rides last for about 1.5 to 2 hrs and maybe its something we could do with them, yeah its a roady ride but its a ride and if there are no Adv rides happening then its an excuse to get together and give the bikes a run. They are an awesome bunch of people in the club and we would be made most welcome.
