    Maybe its just natures way of supplying the necessary elements to improve our wet weather riding skills.

    I don't reacon its going to get to bad until tomorrow so will be heading down there at around midday. See the real bikers on the top of the hill I guess.

    Skelstar and I can't wait any longer!

    We're headed to the hill soon. Meeting Caltex at 10am.
    B/F run to Wild Oats. Rendevous at 2pm, top of the takas.
    If you have nothing better to do, come out for breakfast!

    You have no idea how clumsy I am, do you? If I attempted that I would break the bloody thing. God I do some stoopid things sometimes, lol! :slap:

    Yep, I'm glad we got the Wairarapa ride in. We had a good three hours of fine weather at least. I also couldn't believe how the wind picked up in Featherston! The GSXR sure was getting blown around alot more than the old SV1000 used to.
    Unfortunately the weather gods didn't favour us yet again - Or was it F5 Dave's poor ordering?
    It was nice to meet you all at the top of the hill.
    I didn't realise Paul had the FZED1 bike. I was lane splitting opposite you on the motorway on thursday night........
    Looking forward to meeting with you all again.

    thanks for the ride Skelstar. I'm glad you took on the hill, confidence building stuff! I know the high winds can tend to be scary, but it is good to mix up your riding, well done.

    That's Mangell's FZ.

    Paul has a Moto Guzzi Le Mans MkII
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Ah the weather was fine, wasn’t too windy on the route actually taken & the roads were dry with the exception of a few spots on the rimas.

    Good day all around & cheers for Paul’s hospitality. Sorry I didn’t stay for the bb but had to shoot after cake.

    Saw someone snapping pics somewhere?
