Miiiiiinnt ride

Great weather, great company, great roads ('cept for the sneaky bits of gravel lurking around some of the corners). Couldn't ask for more aye...'cept maybe to actually be able to do a @#$%'n wheelie. I tried past the Kopu pub there, but as you all saw, it just wasn't happening. Some day...

Good to meet you guys aye, n I'll catch you again sometime, for sure

Yeah, good times, like ya say nice weather and the road in pretty good condition for the most part, had a turn out of Torque, Teflon, Joflo, Johnboy, V Twin Raver, Toast and Me.

Was good to have a decent blat on the R1 and try and get tused to it a bit, started to feel more comfortable on one wheel towards the end of the day, although still not really comfy on it leaning it over through corners yet though, nothing a track day shouldn't fix.

Everybody rode at a pretty brisk pace, Torques radar detector saving us Ham's guys at least once. Toast you OWN that stretch of road from Coromandel to Thames mate!

No off's which is always great, only hiccup was Torque getting a puncture in the radiator of the K5 and leaking coolant back to Ham's. And Teflon's battery finally gave up a few K's outta Ham's and cooked itself.

Nice to meet a couple of new faces: Joflo and Toast.

Bring on summer and more rides the same!

Later
Daryl
