I assume the test was successful??

If you're passing by, call in some time. Not that many bikers in Onehunga...

That CB-1 in Red Baron is the first one for sale in Auckland since I bought mine 2 yrs ago. Jap import, obviously. Some poor sod will be seduced by the sleek, contemporary styling, the superb engineering, the stunning performance... Wait till he tries to find spare parts...

Yep the test was successful, they said i was a good rider, with good hazard identification, hazard avoidance and road postion...... little do they know hehehe

Will pop in when ive got some time

if you guys read this before you leave, i will try and depart holeshot by 10:30. Its a bit late notice, had a late nite, otherwise would've tried to leave earlier. As for the weather, we can make a decision on the way north. I'm low on cash, otherwise i would have gone for a much longer ride...
damn weekday commuting.

Shame about the rain. After stopping to put on my plastic pants I headed back to Akl on the motorway, and after only a few km the rain stopped and it was fine all the way back. In fact after I got home I had time to wash the bike and my car before the rain arrived. Perhaps we should have headed south instead of north?
Anyway thanks for organizing the ride, Gareth, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Since I had several things to do in the morning I could not make it at 10:30. I rode out thinking that I'll get there around 10:40, but as I got onto the motorway a police car followed me all the way to Takapuna , so I had to watch my speed, as a result, got to Holeshot at 10:50. Obviously there was nobody there , so I went on to Whangaparaoa via East Coast Road, then to Army Bay, and then headed back via the motorway, it was raining all the way there (from Takapuna) and back. :disapint:

it was pissing outside my house so decided not to risk it (with my trck record anyway)
