Hopefully on a bigger bike in the not so distant future. I'm really wondering if I should have held onto the RD. Although it went through fuel, it could move pretty quick. Oh well, like you said its still a bike. Was pretty surprised how quick the pack went, although if I was on the CBR, I'd probably do the same

**Sensei** · 28th August 2005, 21:37

Only got 175 k's out of the last tank to Oakura usely get 210k's don't know where it all went

. Mates tyre on his TL looked very sad by the end . Will be great to see ya on a new CBR .

Was a good ride all up.. though I must say, I nearly missed a 50k corner

luckily nothing was coming the other way... (On the back roads out from kaponga-coast roads.. also nearly lost my tongue on a freakin bridge that did a sharp drop with steep incline.. haha.. wont do that again!)

A very fast pace was set early on.. as I had forgotten to gas up.. it was catch up! But all was well as a couple of others also gas'd up along the way.. Did the first stop, where everyone was waiting for me

took some pics of the bikes (will have to post when I get home!), and then it was off again along the coast

to Hawera for a fuel stop for some.. another pitstop at the pub.. and then to Wanganui.. there were about 3 groups.. the Ultra fast, the fast, and us (I'd say averaging a very good pace)

Well actually I dont think anyone actually slowed down... Fortunately I was the back marker

for most of the trip.. beautiful day for it. Alot of other bikers on the road, and most of them waved back, which was nice (though I did noticed not many from our group waved out.. all concentrating on catchin Sensei!).

To be expected there were alot of bugs on visors, All in all a great ride

Here are some Pic's of the meetup and first stop... unfortunately I didn't get anymore pics after that.... guess I was too busy playing catchup.

Some rather nice bikes
