He said this...''Another six threads''?
But I remember all to well my first BIG ride...all of about 80kms....thought I was doing really well...

Shit, I obviously ride with the wrong crowd then...

Bottoms that only require one pair of hands usually take precedence ....

You cheeky bugger. I'll indulge on some roflmao in order to shrink it then! We start our SI road trip tomorrow so if you see a burgman and a bandit (with a large derriere'd rider) galavanting around your neck of the woods in a few days time I'll pull over and you can assess for yourself!

You should be aware ... "Galavanting" is not permitted in this area ... subject to the fine of (at least) one flat white ...

I might offer a bottom massage ... just to show I mean well ...

I have tried to keep most of my posts to singular threads but nonetheless... There will be other newbies out there that will find it interesting to read, I know I've found it interesting reading about how newbies have progressed. Anyway thanks for feeding my thread.

I am enjoying reading your posts

Enjoy the trip you two buggers, and FJ, if you needed two hands I'd bet it wasn't our PB's derriere you was massaging!
Bosslady, don't listen to too much shiet on here aye, enjoy what you are doing and do it often, who gives a big fat rats backside what anyone else thinks as good old Chris Carter of ZB used to say.

I don't think I've been that far up the north island, I'll put that on my list for one day soon
240km, 3 hours, that'd be a big ask for a wee bit lol

Trust me, it passes real quick.

Decided to go for a quick blat down the western motorway last week. Ended up doing a 380km round trip through Kaipara, Mangawhai and Waiwera. Once you get home and realise what you've just done, you feel a bit of satisfaction. Especially on a 225

And thats you averaging 80kph.
Can I ask what speed you reached on this solo effort and what speed you found was comfortable to sustain?

I think I'll work up to it perhaps a trip such as that a weekend soon, getting pretty tired with work, learning to ride, kids etc lol. Need a bloody good sleep in!

We used to ride up there all the time from the shore when a teenager, sometimes we would even run out to bland bay on the gravel, just for a little excitement. Couple of times we did there and back in one day,once with me ringing the tits of an old xl185. But just take your time, and do lots of smaller rides, and you will quickly build in confidence.
