    Judging by those pics, the weather was great. Good idea for a ride. Glad you guys enjoyed it.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Guys, I'm sorry we didn't catch up with you in Masterton for a coffee, we had to get to Martinborough rapidly. Thought we might see you on the hill at the summit on the way back but no.

    Looked like a heck of a lot of fun. Thanks VTwin for putting up with me gushing over your SV (mmmm....). Did ya see the Mustangs on the side of the road??

    Funny thing was that when you came and talked to me I didnt know who you were, then I wasnt sure...until you took your helmet off anyway. Your glasses were tinted which made it a bit more difficult.

    Great Day

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, I had a great day and didnt feel to silly on my bike. The hill was much more fun than those long straights. All I need now is a few more CC's (and hair maybe).

    I could SO tell that you were having trouble recognising me in my gears. I was wondering how to 'charade' Eurygnomes (actually pronoucned "you RIN oh mees") and then remembered that I could just remove my helmet. And then I made a total idiot of myself to VTwin...forgetting his name and all ops:.

    First indication we had of the approaching KBers was the 2-up Motoguzzi coming around a corner and us zipping past. We watched you in the mirror though...and once we saw lights, knew that we didn't have to turn around!

    Oh, and Str8...don't you mean that I'll just keep uninviting myself to rides that I've proposed!??!

    Not even on Gem today as have boxes of stuff to cart around, am meeting Wolf and Stray for lunch in 45mins at Thai/Jap restaurant and am off to ChCh tomorrow morning. No rides for Nomes...

    I thought the DR did pretty well considering your 'apprehension' at WMC.

    Hehe, that was what was so ironic! Everyone that met me, saw the GN and where instantly like, "you must be Nomes". There were a few surprises when I told them you weren't coming. Don't worry me and Skelstar told them you had a valid excuse! I hope you had fun, the weather was beautiful!
