    Sounds good, we can do "Wasp's welly weekend wide" the weekend after.

    Might be a good idea to update the top post with all the details etc etc

    Can't come on Sunday as I am on call, so here's a video I made earlier.

    The first left hander is the crash site.

    I'd just bought the R6 in April last year and was running it in through the backroads of the Wairarapa when I first met Sam. He was a bit out of breath and had lost the group he'd tagged on to - Deano, Flame, Jimbo, et al, but he was just having the best time.

    I took him through some of these roads shown in the vid a couple of times, talking about things like reading the terrain to spot which way the road goes, and checking for stuff like driveways and live stock, not just other traffic, when making overtaking moves.

    Practically every time I went for a ride April 2005 I'd bump into Sam, happily grinding undercarriage and exhaust off his bike.

    He was calm, polite, respectful, self-effacing, and he listened. Everyone who met him thought he was one of the "good guys" and someone who would make a fine long term motorcyclist. Intelligent, passionate, and a bit of a laugh.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Good stuff posting this Max. I'm back in Welly now so will be up for the ride. You might want to change the title of the thread though so folk know what its all about.

    See you there.
