Immature and proud of it.
A short one to Wellsford and back. No rain, lots of traffic southbound. I just love passing lines of cars. I treat them like mobile chicanes. Funniest, was a guy in a Daewoo who tried to keep up for about 400 metres, until the next corner.
But the IRD were out in force. Including one who had a reaction times measured in minutes. By the time he triggered the Stalker we were passing each other.

Knocked up a couple of hundred k's Tauranga to Rotorua and return with a side trip to Lake Rotoma. Back road to Rotorua which made me realise just how rusty I was riding on the early morning wet roads into some of the steeper gullys - slower than the cars. Getting used to a bike again and not yet knowing the tyres slows you down a bit.
Chilly but not much wind at 8am.
After a meeting took the main road back with a detour to the bach at Rotoma to check all OK there. A heated pie out of the freezer and sit on the deck in the sun for a while before the run back to Tauranga. Life can be pretty bloody good sometimes.
Windy but OK in the afternoon. Low sun in the eyes and shadows over the roads a bit of a downer. No pattern to the traffic with some long periods with no cars about. Plenty of bikes about. Not all wave back.
Rode to Taranaki on Saturday, returned to Auckland on Monday. Bike needs a good clean to get the 'roadworks' off.

I went to Chch and back (twice). Clocked up a quick 1500 ks or so on the wee FiZzeR. Was all good but a helluva frosty coming back into Blenheim on Monday night. Only saw THREE coppers all weekend it was Fantastic!!!!! Musta sent them all north eh?

Hi madandy.
If I recall only saw two pairs of riders, lots on their own and some larger groups. If I recall one pair was travelling west around Rotoiti about 12.30, I was going East. Not sure on the colours, I think they were coming out of a corner while I was going in. I was also looking enviously at the 4 wheel drive group on a Lake Safari. I know many do not like the 4x4's but it can be good fun.
