Tall Tales from Today on Hwy22

[Ixion]

Wait til the lads who love SH22 read this....

Yeah, well, I thought I could bring the romantic appeal of the road into their hearts... [/QUOTE]

Grabs me the same way. Why ride a bike if you can't appreciate such things.

I think finesse would be a better goal.... don't want to think about you being muscular with a bigger ride between ur legs :P

I'm now nearly 9 kilos lighter since I've not being going to the gym this year (need to get my shit sorted).....

Yes big fella finesse is more important...... working on it, working on it.....as soon as I find a job I'll be able to fund my $150 a weekend petrol addiction....

PS: What's the bit bout borrowing someone's lighter??

ahhh.... you are thinking like an old and wise person......

You need to think like a young and very stupid person ...... come on I know you must have been one once.

MUM! but I see a nice flower on the side of 22!

re... lighter... I lost my flame... but am finding it now again thanks.

I do appreciate the scenery, I've ridden there a few times in such horrible rain that I had no choice but to slow down and appreciate the REALLY beautiful scenery.....

But chasing apexes is a much a higher priority for me.....

JSG, a real rider does both - get the good lines and admire the scenery...

ermm... quote "you go where you look" comes to mind...

For a second there I forgot you were a noob Keystone!

Shhh, don't tell anyone...

Exactly.

It's not in my visceral nature to admire the scenery, maybe sometimes, not habitually. Since I was born and brought up in places world famous for their natural scenic attributes, I find following vanishing points more attractive.

And that's the real reason I ride......

She's new to motorcycling but not two wheels.... and as a result has some rather well developed riding qualities

I know these things...don't forget that you're a noob too boy!

Course I am..... it's a great excuse to blame all my stupid riding on

[oldfart]

Excuse me, Mr Transit, it would be really nice if you could let me know about those gravel bits before I get to them, please…

On farken no!!!! You'll set off Motu & I'm sure Xion won't be far behind. We're all doomed.

It’s the right hander after the 2nd stretch of gravel heading to Raglan that ALWAYS gets me!
Down hill decreasing radius blind corner with a madman on a KTM Duke 1/2 way up my ass does little for me!
not nice picking on little bikes, mutter mutter sulk
Nice pub tho, good coffee!
