Gunna give this one a miss, as much as I would like to go for the ride. Will make sure I come up on the next one.

See, thing is, I need to be in paps by 5 in order to be sure i have a vb in hand to watch the wallabies kick the blacks.

Enjoy the ride guys!

Thanks to the Maha's for taking the initiative to organise this ride today. Even though it was overcast all day and a bit nippy at times the roads were in great condition and best of all DRY!!

10 bikes in all turned up at Paparoa, with 3 big Busa's taking out the majority category. Twas good to catch up with familiar faces and everyone rode their own ride and behaved themselves, well, most of the time!

Poor ole M1CRON's Busa sprung an oil leak on the way back to Mangawhai so 6 of us were delayed in getting to our lunch stop. Miraculously the leak stopped after tootoing around with the bike for 20mins!

(see pic)

Highlight of the ride for me was doing that fantastic Paparoa-Oakleigh road twice, twisty heaven that, and I even paid homage to 'Onesti Corner' (Tomthephoms crash site) as I sliced through it at 45 degrees!

I trust you all got back home safe and sound, sory I couldn't join you at Puhoi but I wanted to get home. See ya's on the next one.

Those tree's look dam fine as a backdrop for the bike's Zed.....

Ever considered taking up photography as a job ??.....

Thought to myself (as you tooted bye bye) at the Puhoi turn off ''he cant be rushing home for a feed''......not after what you put away at Mangawhai...

Seemed like every plate of food that came out..''yeah thats mine''...top effort

Cheers, they were taken on my Nokia 6131 phone, but honestly they aren't that crash hot. I'll have to muck around with the settings to see if the clarity can be improved. Twas good to catch the moments anyway.

Mate, you put a dead animal on a plate in front of me and i'll show you what to do with it! Hehe, I think I may have eaten too much, no dinner for me 2nite.

Yeah thanks for that man. I decided to start a new thread concerning that vid you took and posted it up here.

Hey guys good to catch up for a little cruise yesterday...and a bourbon or so
Loved doing the Paparoa rd twice south and that north run was hell fun eh?
You'll all be oh so glad to know that I managed to get it up too...cheeky little shit!!
Will post a vid if evidence is required too
Weather held up well but looking outside atm today would've been a pearler, too!
BTW...having a little bird hit you in the visor whilst you're doing 100ish kmph is not fun!! Still need to clean the rest of the blood and shit off my scooter!!
C of CaN...offering,as I can't get it OFF
