Practised putting my gear on for a ride, one more quick look at KB before I head out the door..
no ride for me today.. I, like you, Mr H, practised the art of crying.
Toasted our fallen brothers, and then cried some more..

Around the block, 2 up.
Taupo, Whakamaru, Old taupo road, Arapuni, Te Kuiti, Whakamaru, Taupo

Practiced caution, smoothness and putting the pillion to sleep (not easy on this bike!)

Nice dry roads saw a few bikers out enjoying it too.

I joined a few at TSS at around 10, went to the top o' hill and down the other side. Went to watch my mate race his boat at Ruamahanga, it flipped at around 80mph and destroyed itself. he rode in Westpac to get his broken bones fixed, I rode to top o' hill again. There I was told about the two deaths up north by a fellow KBer and then decided to slowly ride home. I also logged onto here to find out more about the crash up north, only to learn of the passing of a friend, one who had waved to me only hours before. I'm pretty gutted about now.

You could say I practised staying alive.
