[leathel]

Some pics from tonight

[leathel]

Looks like the rain has gone that was forecast and fine for a ride this arvo

[eldog]

Walkies time is over

Ride time is soon

Be there



after looking at oldguy’s front tyre, I looked at mine, which is not a lot better.
definite central ridge 50mm wide and flattish. The rest steps down then just tapers away as expected.

rear looks good.

Heya Woody, we meet up at the Southern Motorway BP just past the Papakura Off Ramp going South, meet up after 6pm ride off at seven, go about 1-150 K's then stop for eats, lies and relaxing, always good fun, come along, I'm just on my way to the BP now.

Should be a good night for it but to much to do for me to get there.... Paperwork then bike brakes if I finish in time....and maybee more time on the top box... oh and my Reg has run out...better check the WOF too

[eldog]

My tyres have resumed their original curved shape, rather than the flat and wedge of last couple of weeks.

But the join at the center has become much more visible


Looks like a short wee pootle up the road and back tonight before the service begins.


Oldguy save your gas for next week. They are looking for YOU in Takanini. IYKWIM. $$$$$$

And here I was thinking there isnt much to look at.... nek minute OMG. Worth the wait.

It was hot.

Avoid Fitzgerald road. 3 sets of red lights, waited almost 5minutes at 2 of them, stones across road etc
1 did have a count down timer which was nice. I would like to see this more on other red light road works

Also watch out Clevedon to Franklin areas, the usual stone chip bandits are out there re-chipping corners randomly, no signs or sweeping up loose stuff.

Some of them are mid corner. Intersections have built up piles of chips and stones in the middle - be observant don't cut the corner
Tar bleed is bad again.

a few places where selling flowers on the side of the road, like WTF? cars darting across road, cutting others off to get some. Almost became a cropper.

Had some boy racer on my 6, couldn't see the hood in my mirrors, I didn't want to be a ornament on the bonnet, so took an opportunity to get ahead. Followed like a demented nut case weaving in and out of traffic - him not me. Finally he turned off. Nutter.

otherwise it was a good ride.

[oldguy]

Running late, called in no one there. So went on a ride of my own. Called in at McDonald's Huntly, then the Muddy Irish Pub for a beer then home soon.
