    It has been a great day for a ride down here today.

    Up at 7, back at 3. Excellent weather and workable traffic. A loop from WangaVegas to Turangi via the Parapara Hwy, then to Taupo around the far side of the lake, SH1 to Palmy, SH4 to home again.

    That is all...

    That's a nice ride. Been a while since I went up or down the ParaParas, an interesting piece of road.

    You know what all will ask right?
    The usual....Photos or it never happened! Did you have time to click off a few self indulgent selfies or of your steed with the stunning back drops?
    That is almost all......

    I know he dunit, Ol RD would never tell fibs about riding, an not on those roads, some of the best motorcycle roads in NZ. Spent all day in a workshop grinding off rust from the underside of a horse float. Lucky for me it was on a mates hoist. Still look like an original Black an white minstrel right now, but hey, plenty time for a ride next week.
    Keep the home fires burning RDJ.
    One day we'll make it that far south again, and we will call ahead.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Nope. I didn't even mount the helmet cam... I just fired up the steed and rode like we did in the Old Days.
