Paeroa>Waihi>Whangamata for lunch... I know that they'll be going back via the Kopuhikuwai's etc.
I may carry on from Whangamata to where ever.

Have a great ride today folks. Im up here in Norfland land for the weekend and wont be able to make the ride. Weather here is average but I see as usual its going to be sunny in TowelRonga, gotta love it. Shame I can't join you all on the twisties between Waihi and Whangamata cause I got new Radials on me beautiful beast, now I know what an Aprilia really truly should feel like, its awesome. Oh well, back to SH1

Man that ride was FUN. Learned more on the Pie-rower>Whangamata lunch>Coroglen ride then I have from ever learned riding alone. Great to follow you experienced guys around a bit and have a yack and steal your secret riding tricks. I might have to take the week off so I can go riding more. Hope it's less windy though.

Nice to meet some of the Auckland guys too.

In this dime-a-dozen world
With you they must've broke the mold
Cause you're the only one I've met
that I would kill to call my own.
Let it be known, I'm not aggressive nor possessive
All I know is, I would kill to make you mine
and I am usually not this bold
Let it be known, let it be known...
Let it be known, let it be known...

I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything at all
Anybody's anything at all
Anybody's anything at all

I'm rather small and all my shortcomings stand tall
I've crawled upon my hands & knees
out of the fear that I could fall
and through it all it's left me withered,
feeling bitter, bought and sold,
been told I'm not the nicest person
that you'll ever get to know
Let it be known, let it be known...
Let it be known, let it be known...

I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything at all
Anybody's anything at all
Anybody's anything at all
No, anybody's anything at all
Anybody's anything at all

Weaving through this dust
I trust nobody else but us
I must admit it'd take some years
for me to walk without this crutch
So on and such, I'd still be fucked
If I am forced to walk alone
And should I crumble at your feet
I'll hold us both accountable
Let it be known, let it be known...
Let it be known, let it be known...

I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything and
I never wanted to be anybody's anything at all
Anybody's anything at all
Anybody's anything at all, at all
Anybody's anything at all
No, anybody's anything at all

I don't think your bike is the only thing you're missing

I had a good ride today with Quatermile and Ben (sorry, never remember his nick). That Bandit is a blast - even redlining isn't going fast although the bike is screeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaming! Probably my slowest trip up the Kaimais in some time though, I keep forgetting it's not my RSV
