Well After taking ownership of our new bike ( 03 Triumph trophy 1200 ) with 40;000ks on the clock,we headed around to Hampton Honda to get the chain sorted,which was almost touching the ground

although new drive train would be nice,but at such short notice it wasn't going to happen,but the crew at Hampton Honda squeezed us in to tighten the chain and lube it,don't think anyone could really believe that the guy we had just brought the bike off had ridden from invercargill with it in that state...but Huge tahnks to the crew at Hampton Honda...

Once again we were on our way heading out for an afternoon ride out too Akaroa before coming back through govenors bay too Lyttelton...I was shocked at the damage there,we stopped in at a small bar erected out of some shipping containers,started chatting to a fella there who had noticed my Earthquake ride patch and wasn't aware that earthquake rides were also held in the North Island....

Right as for the ride the bike handled rather well considering its not been set up for me,there are some things that I will be doing as soon as I get home Tyres,fluids,brakes,chain and sprockets etc, which is stuff I
do too all my bikes when I buy them
Tomorrow we head back to Wanganui,so looking forward too a gentle cruise back too Picton

will upload photos once home....
