Just in from a trip around the block.
Just in from a trip around the block.
Whakatane to Okoroire for a stop, then looped back home via Tokoroa, Murupara.
A couple of pics..
One from this years TT2000 at the Skippers Canyon checkpoint
I was sent down to CHCH from my NI haunt for a conference.
Great opportunity to take the bike instead of the drama of airports/flights/baggage etc etc and then transport at the other end.
Took a week. Booked. Checked the weather and that was the week Summer ended.
Only got to tour around CHCH and the Lewis, Tasman loop on the return trip. Did Kaikoura on the way down. Much better than I expected.
Cold southern climate that week taught me the tuning was a little lean for this time of year and had to tweak AF screws. Its used to warmer and higher altitude riding normally.
Froze, but really enjoyed what I could get to in the time I had. Vowed must do another trip "overseas" as soon as I can get away again. Bike on and off the ferry was a breeze.
Just this side of the hilltop
Tikao Bay, Banks Peninsula cold out today
A tiny bit at the bottom of the hill first right hander this side, a small amount about 300meters either side of the hill top , kept smelling acetone (silicone) up there to ?? looks like some sort of coating for frost (??) had been laid down as the road looked damp but wasnt.
