Yep! I can confirm the Haywards is undergoing treatment of the gooey chip variety. Took a while to de-chip and de-tar the underside of the CB. Bloody stones get stuck in all sorts of nooks and crannies.

See you all this evening.

I had to pull over directly after the roadworks and then spend half an hour getting the stones out of my drive belt and pulleys before I could carry on when I went out that way last night. Hopefully the belt isn't poked.

All that effort and the road surface is just as shitty as it was before, dips and bumps and corrugations everywhere. What a waste of time.

And by the way, enjoy your ride people. Maybe next week for me.

just went over there. About one k is being worked on right at the top of the hill. Few loose stones, no wet tar. its fine.

i'll be out and about

will take charge too so decide on the night, its not hard to figure out though - there are 6? possible options take away 2 for gravel take 1 cos its boring take 1 cos its now 50ks and we're only left with two

oooh, just thought of another option.... but nah sad good memories attached to that one plus it was a bit short that night even with the extended bit

Oh cause thats the only 2 ppl's name i really know there + guy.

the Taka's are awesome at the moment only on the Wairarapa side there is a bit of loose gravel - or there was about 3 days ago. It might have gone by now

oh man, daylight savings nearly over and i can't go riding. Was cleaning my chain on Friday night and found a cracked link, hence i missed track day and am now gonna miss evening rides until i can afford a new chain. Boo hoo. Have fun tonight guys.

**Wasp** · 7th March 2007, 16:09

you can have my old chain if you want, its pretty stretched though and was getting worse so i replaced it

fyi a new one is only around $120ish

pity you didnt make the trackday, would have been cool to have a brother out there

**Sparky Bills** · 7th March 2007, 16:30

Haywards has got new seal at the top, and the traffic banks up lots.

Other than that, i dont think Piekok hill has ever been soo clean!

**unhingedlizard** · 7th March 2007, 16:52

cant make it tonight guys.

**Dafe** · 7th March 2007, 20:31

Where did you guys go tonight? I had footy practice unfortunately.

Man, It's getting dark early now.

**sels1** · 7th March 2007, 20:34

Well in the end we did go do Paekak Hill via Haywards, (the new seal wasnt an issue) followed by a tootle around Greys Rd to the Sandbar. Good turnout too, considering the weather wasnt that flash. A couple of new faces, welcome along guys, particularly the discerning chap on the dark blue Tiger...nice bike!
