    Cool

    Home til Lunch time and then rode up north via Riverhead and Coatsville roads and then on up to Whangarparoa.
    Saw a few riders out there, they all waved back.

    A nice ride it was too... just cruising along at my own pace.

    Cruised on home via the motorway and Constilation Drive and Upper Harbour Road.

    From Taupo; Poihipi rd, Whakamaru, to Tokoroa thru the forest, Old Taupo Rd to Arapuni (Blackbird, you never told us about that little diversion.....awesome!), Kihikihi for gas then back to Wharepapa South for lunch and home via Mangakino and Poihipi again. Saw not one HP, six bikes and about twenty cars in roughly 250ks. Great day, great ride.

    Saturday mid morning, straight up state highway 1 north to my home town Horeke on the beautiful Hokianga to my Uncles fiftieth - Auckland to Whangarei, rained buckets all the way, now know my boots hold water quite well (strange, but saw no bikers out there)!! Spent the afternoon in the Horeke pub in bare feet while the boots dried in front of the fire...forgot to put spare shoes in the backpack.

    Today made up for the rain yesterday, 300k return in beautiful midwinter sun with the cousi in tow on his 400, cruising down state highway sixteen with the Kaipara glistening blue in the distance getting closer to home - arm got tired waving to all the bikers going north up 16, and didn't see a cop to ping me for doing 109km like last weekend on this road. Ahhhhh bliss
    Show me a completely smooth operation and I’ll show you someone who’s covering mistakes. Real boats rock.

    Went around Coro with about 8 other Gixxers. Bloody nice ride and a beautiful day. Unlike previous Coro rides in the past month, I got back home while the sun was still up. Yep, gixxers do it faster.

    I did a leisurely jaunt the "wrong" way round to Miranda. Passed 1.4 million bikes including what looked to be a pack of gixxers doing about 60kph......

    And nice one to the guy who rode past me the other way on one wheel between xxxxx and xxxxxx

    T'was a grand day....

    Went on a ride with the HMCC yesterday, Matamata for lunch, then the hot pools in Te Aroha.. Total ride distance: 170km

    Was a great ride, and can't wait for the next one
    hooray for 'Sundays' *pun*

    Only went through it myself 3 weekends ago for the first time when I went out to Raglan for a ride. Haven't been out that way for 2 years I'm embarrassed to say. I'd forgotten about that lovely swing bridge on the diversion
