Bugger. Might be a shortish night occasional drops of water.
Depending on who shows up might ride passed yr way or not as the casi maybe

I have 3 away tomorrow and probably more won't turn up either

Bike isn't used much lately so was surprised it started lol

- Yep, I got the weather right, drizzle, rain, lots of headlights, slippery roads, the usual suspects and dodgy drivers in Tuakau
a few road repairs using cement (3+) - I can always find road repairs

Caseye, I did have a lower air pressure 30-32 in the front, I checked my log. front - its better but still no good for those cooler nights.

its was a nice pootle...

after last nights run, dodging peoples thrown out dinners on the road and a trellis fence.
the weather was good with only strong winds in a few places (not gusty) but it was dark.
Amazing how often cars appeared while mid corner.....

how about the Kaiaua run next week?

Amit, Bmwilly you up for it?

weather should improve for the next wee while

Come on Marty post up yer coming along and I promise I'll have Old Guy and Didgy turn up too.

If you are going around the Kaiaua loop in the dark, beware of the patchy road repairs at the top of the hill just south of Kawakawa. They have been mentioned in here before but as seen last Saturday, have continued to deteriorate and spread even more loose gravel around the general area.

Certainly not in great shape ATM

and plenty of green gunge buildup

My bike WOF has lapsed and with workers out of action after his crash for a bit I doubt I will get there the next week or so

Jeff's a bit bruised and sore for a while, dent in the tank is from getting squashed against the bike when T boned (forks bent etc as the bike continued without him into a brick wall)

Thanks for the heads up on Kaiaua Rd

due to the weather - I will be seeing u'all next week

And the weather report is for?

Could do with a slow ride tonight.

No WOF ATM, not had time to take it to Pukekohe to get one, Jeff is still not back at work after his crash so still on the floor and paperwork jammed in where I can

Even thought tonight is my night off, just couldn't be bothered, stayed at work and finished a few things that had been hanging around on the round-to-it bucket list
