    Ashhurst ride report

    What an awesome day. 380k on the clock. Near 7 hours out and about chatting and riding. ok, my gps reads 4 hour 3min and 57seconds moving. Hell of a lot of chatting but thats why we are out here isn't it.

    Started the day with Bonez running off to get bike number 2 cause something went wrong with bike 1. Didn't quite catch what happened there. While we were waiting a couple of guys showed up at the servo. A KR150 and a GN250 and they decided to join. So there was Bonez,Meanie,combo man, mouse, the KR guy and myself. Good mix of bikes.

    We headed over the sadle to start and the guy on the KR warned about loose metal. Was pretty slippery on the upside but coming down was fun. That warmed things up and then we went joyriding. Can't be exactly sure where we went to be honest but we found weber , wimbilton (there was no tennis) and Taumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaturipukakapikim aungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. I am sure you think I made that one up so I took a photo. Nothing else there except the sign and just as well, I am sure they would not get their mail.
    On to havelock north via some wicked roads. Twisty bits galore. Had lots and lots of fun. All bikes run as they should. The new ninja was very nice and mouse handled himself well although Meanie was telling me mouse was a little more than sore on arrival home. Heading out of Havelock North I got summons home so had to take a direct route home. Cops everywhere which slowed things down a bit but made it home trouble free.

    Good day had by all.

    here are the pics.

    Sorry hit the wrong thread - cheers for having me out there. Certainly evicted a few spiders from the KR. Had a great day and I look forward to doing it again.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Yes folks and once again a GN 250 participated , well for the first part anyway.

    Ended up coming back behind Te Mate peak, through Elsthorpe, Patangata, Waipawa, Waipuk-over the crematorium hill, hang first left onto Takapu, Ormondville, back rd coming out just south of Dannivirke by the roadside cafe thingy, then directly from Dannivagas home-was getting dark and a bit nippy.Rog and I had a much needed bourbon and coke when we got to my place. Dumped the pics from his camera onto my PC. So here ya go.

    Nice having you along Ben. How's the Fluid Dynamics assignment coming along?

    As Meanie mentioned, your tail light was very intermitent on the way home so may pay to check the connections. The securing nut holding my clutch lever pivot screw came adrift, noticed this before I left work this afternoon, so may have to go and look for it in a month or so .
