Travelling through Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, 25-28 April

Haha, thanks guys. No problem going the speed limit but big problems going around those tight corners and managing to stay shiny side up!! hmmmm bigger bike...

Just what insaneness will you get up to on a big girls bike

Depends entirely on how long it takes for the big girl in question to find out she has it ...

But for a girl that describes herself as a Fat lesbian ... the mind boggles. It would boggle better though ... with pic's ...

A week away on the Honda 2-up covering the Manawatu/Wairarapa/Hawkes Bay and East Cape with a double pack and tank bag. A lot of weight but it didn't bother the bike at all.
It's the main reason I went back to a sports tourer, to ensure the away trips are done with ease.

There is one bike that will all you want B/Lady...day trips, short/long away trips/track days etc...a CB600 (or a hornet in the old money)...

[nerrrd]

Check it (the bike, that is), and it's LAMS approved as well...just sayin'

Not a motard, though.

Thanks for the company today on the way back from Waihi - sorry leathel I guess we took the roundabout route after all, but it was good to have a bit of a final blat.

.

Yeah I had to ditch the long way as the wife was starting to giggle a bit (Text'd the other two to let them know), she been trying to get comfortable for some K's, Longest ride by far for her and was a tad saddle sore, My brother and Niece were racing just back from where I pealed of so went to watch the maize paddock racing for a bit until the other half could feel her but again, Was some awesome racing to watch in some classes, out of control passing maneuvers by Craig (Mr Motorcycles owner)...that dude does not like to be second, balls on the line but pretty clean passing got him the win

Glad to hear you both got home safe and sound

If you want to do some one day adventure ride let me know as I am always keen for a cruise, I will email the Bosslady of a few.

Sounds like you guys had an epic trip! It's nice to be able to live vicariously through people that have a bit more staying power than me.

Sorry I missed meeting you guys, popping up Te Aroha or Waihi would have been a small ways to go compared to what you did. Unfortunately I managed to land myself with the rug rats for half the day, so that ended my hopes for getting out on the bike. Plus I had to fix my cage, silly window was not winding properly (not something I'd have to worry about on the bike!).

Sounds like it was a blast, and remember you don't have to travel half the island to find some windy roads! I am sure we can find you some good ones a bit closer to home.

More stupid then gutsy.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that's mad enough to have been touring on a Ginny. Well done.

I used to run top box and panniers on mine. The guys at holeshot called it the "touring version". Never went camping with it though so the weight wouldn't have been what you put on. And the panniers kept it lower.

Mind you, I used to cram the bags and box full with the week's shopping. Quite an adventure with an 18pack of coke (plus) in the box.
