U were the only one who didn't stop, we were only there for 20mins. You can do whatevea u want at the end of the day, least we saw you leave, unlike a guy I was riding with yesterday who ducked off the end of the group to go home and caused us (5 bikes) to turn around and back-track looking for him...he sent a text 40mins later, the twerp.

Great ride! There wasn't too much traffic for most of it, just on the way back to kopu after the coroglen pub it was bumper to bumper most of the way.

I was quite pleased with the zeal's ability to keep up most of the way (except on the straights...). But bloody hell is it thirsty. At Tairua, first stop to fill up after Kopu, I had to put $16 (approx. 11L) to fill it up again. Zed only needed $8 gas for his CBR954RR... 1/4(?) the power for twice the fuel...

T.I.E awesome pics. Pity my moment of fame was spoiled by the cyclist...

If you're trying to resize a whole lot of pics, XnView has a multi convert tool that lets you resize and do some other stuff to a whole lot of pics at once.

Marty, glad you got home ok on that tyre. I didn't realise you were you when I met ya. Should've introduced myself.

Overall, a great ride and good company. cheers

[edit] Thanks Zed and Marty for the encouragement

Mate got up at 0930- the alarm clock never went off nor have I seen it the whole day today! The only reason I can think of is someone ate the damn rooster! Just my luck huh?
