nah, the can fell off 3 times. It's got a nice weld job on it now, and then hopefully a new can on the way, courtesy of Kawa..

If you stop sticking your

I had a great time, that road through the forest was awesome and the partying/drinking etc. on saturday night was good.
I think next time I'm not going to drink so much, riding with a hangover and feeling sick isn't fun

. There were some nice roads on the way back, but I wasn't able to enjoy them due to the hangover. I was actually glad when we got on SH1!
I was feeling a bit better by the time I got to wellsford, so headed down SH16 the way we came, rather than carry along on SH1. Even though I was feeling bit blah, it was too good riding weather and SH16 is too good a road to miss. There were a lot of bikes riding the other way, up to wellsford. It was absolutely perfect riding weather.

Anyway, it was great to meet up with all of you. Thanks for organising the ride, Yoshi. KB is excellent

Thanks for the ride Yoshi….. Slow/Medium rides are my favorite.

The pic of the Dolphin aiding and abetting a crime has been sent to Greenpeace, and they have, from this date forward disavowed any further support, and protection of this mammal!

It's not the dolphins fault, mate. He was scared for his life too and chose to look the other way!!
