I heard that ashhurst mobile may be more expensive than other petrol stations (ie in palmy) is that true? should I fill up before I head to ashhurst? also do they have a air pump there?

Thanks

Jason

I'll see if Doug, the chap with the 500 Pantah is up to it. He's left a masage on our answerphone about going for a ride. I we make all good. If not hope you all have a good one if we don't make it.

Just remember this time of year there are quite a few shadowed areas of tarmac
that dont see any sun this time of year, which are still wet and slippery.
Mild breeze out and a bit of cloud at the mo which should burn off.

Oh and the gorge was cleared yesterday. Lot of work beening done on the railway side though.

Off to walk the mutt. Toodle pip........................

All in all a great ride. Bit wet and slippery in places. Saw some of cowboyz old girlfrieds, baaabrah and co, along the way. Got home suitably refreshed.

Doug headed over to Hawkes Bay in the end.

shock horror. I am surprised that you didn't mention the little spill off my bike. Even gave it a wash when I got home to see if the paintwork was scratched and its not. Did enjoy the "bonez guided animal tour" though. There were sheep and cows and ducks. The comentary wasn't much to speak of though.

He he he he Haaaw haaaw haaaw haaaw it was so funny

I wouldnt have mentioned it but heh, you started it, if only i had a video camera
Good ride although a little slippery in places and dam cold
There is something about the smell of cow shit dried and baking on the exhaust but its a moungrel to wash off
It was a great way to spend an otherwise cold and miserable sunday
Sorry you couldnt come mouse, maybe next time

Hey, I'm a nice guy ya know.

Waddaya mean the paintwork isn't scratched

Funny how both faired bikes needed an afternoon lay down

Obviously going NAKED is the only way to go, ah meanie

Don't get me going about your so called "high performance" tyres either

Very impressed on the performance of the ZZR250 though. Top marks Jason.
