Went for a ride on Sunday through some of the local twisties and was progressing at a reasonable clip up a winding hill when i see a car just parked off the road with a couple of distressed looking people standing in the road waving me down. I come to a dignified stop and manage to park the bike in such a way that it doesn't take off down the hill without me and prepare to help the distressed motorists. Off with the helmet so I can hear them better ( english was not their first language ). " Take photo please. Lovely view " Yes they had stopped me so they could get someone to take their photo with a view of the Ruahines in the background. I was so stunned I did as asked and had no sooner got my helmet back on when there was a tap on my shoulder. This time they took photos of each other standing with the big Kiwi Biker and his powerful motorbike. I was still chuckling when I got to the Waterford for my obligatory Guinness.![]()
