Yes, it certainly was a fantastic weekend (thanks again, Geoff), and even riding in the rain yesterday didn't really spoil it. I wasn't too sure about Mac's comment about the high-mount pipe making my bike look too skinny though...
I guess he saw an awful lot of the back of my bike.
How are your headstock bearings from all the wheelies, Zed? Very nicely done, they were, and it was entertaining following you. Talking about interesting, the BMW GollumSmeagol 1200 Mac had hired certainly was that! What a weird beastie!
Like the others said, it was great meeting Zed again, and meeting BykeyCop for the first time, and a real pleasure spending the weekend with such a great bunch of guys. And no, I didn't have a hangover, because I wasn't inebriated, although I guess the others didn't realise that, as all weekend I was babbling almost as incoherently (and more volubly) than those who did over-indulge on Saturday night.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Yeah, they're not called Bluebirds are they, might have trouble selling even one of those.

Next on the 'to do' list Viff.
I too enjoyed following you on Saturday on the way down there, thanks again for leading the way to Coro and Geoffs awesome pad. You ride at a good pace and have good cornering lines, and the *mighty vifferarri* looks & sounds good from behind! (she made a good choice)
Attached is a pic I took at that ungodly hour on Sat morning whilst waiting for you at our appointed meeting place.

What an awesome photo! May I borrow it?
By the way - why did we meet at such an ungodly hour? :spudwhat: A half-hour later would've mean not much more traffic, and less problems with sunstrike and visor-fogging. (Must fix that - I saw my visor had adjustable mounts, so I fiddled. Now the visor sits tight against the rubber doofer, but it fogs up much, much easier.)

Go for it.
The answer lies in the feeling I got when we arrived at our destination just after 9am and knowing that we still had most of the day remaining to enjoy!
And apart from the incy wincy bit of fog you complain about and that twit who stopped in the middle of the road without indication and then came and tailgated us, it was a pretty saweet ride down I thought!

Sounds like a great weekend fellas. Wish I could have been there. I must plan another trip home to Tauranga before too long and hire a bike or something.

Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

That is a seriously awesome pic Matthew - you have a great eye for composition - well done.
I only have one arty shot of my 'bird which I took at the other end of the day at Raumati South on the way to the Southern Cross - will post it when I get home. Nice sunset.

Yeah, that was good. What a pity BykeyCop slept in!
Mind you, he probably really deserved it, given the job he does.
Yes, it was - very good indeed. I wasn't actually complaining as such - the fog was on the inside of the helmet, and the external fog was, as you say, negligible. It was just a few times when we were riding directly into the sun I thought we'd kinda made things more difficult/tricky than they needed to be. However, there's summat special about the early morning that those whose habit it is to sleep till late morning/early afternoon really don't appreciate.And apart from the incy wincy bit of fog you complain about and that twit who stopped in the middle of the road without indication and then came and tailgated us, it was a pretty saweet ride down I thought!

Awesome pic Zed...(other cameras were watching you at THAT meeting place but the Nitrous bottle seems to have gone missing so theres no way I could catch up and present the $150 invitation to the Policemans ball for stopping there!...Next time the coffee is on in the two storey building across the other side..(and if you look the camera is mounted just above my window on front of that building hahaha)
RIDE THE ROAD....RACE THE TRACK.....DRAG THE STRIP......NODMAN....retired(now whose happy?)

Is that right, Nod?
Just send the ticket to me - it was my idea. I should've taken a pic myself (and would've, if I hadn't been late due to the silly servos up the road), because the last time I stopped there the photo I took was blurry. Must've been the ray beams from your fancy camera.
Do I PM you my address for the ticket, or will you look it up from my rego plate? :spudwhat:
