Yeah, then you too can join all the soap operas, dramas and politics that is KB HB.

But hey, we do a lot of riding tho, and thats the best bit.

Hop on the back, Tart. I've got plenty of room !

If we get left behind, we can always stop for a coffee somewhere...

I have seen 135 once...and it scared the shit out of me...that's what I have John for...that awesome speed feeling...ahhh, its good to be a pillion!

Hey I am with you. Maybe a slower riders group is warranted. Then every body is happy. The slower group can talk about half day/ day rides, Maybe even and this is radical stop on the way and admire the view or even regroup.

Great ride today folks, shame one had an off - but at least all ok, and we were able to complete the ride.

Yes nice slow ride up taihape rd, and back to puketapu for some water,
then to taradale for a drink then home for tea, YIP nice to go slow for the day,

**Dooly** · 12th September 2009, 19:13

Neat ride. First time I been that far up Taihape Rd, what great sweepers & bends.
And the best thing was, we never exceeded the speed limit.

Shame about the TLR, but one of those tight corners that kept on tightening nearly had my name on it too.

Nice to ride Grant's 999 Duc, chalk and cheese to my one, but great none the less.

Good to see Dave on the VFR back into it.

Great day for a ride, great company, see you all next time

.

Would that be a right hander going up the hill about half a k from the shingle? One nearly got me, all be it a long time ago, and would have if Morepower had not touched his brake to worn me of it.I would have visited the bushes for sure.

Paul and I headed West and went back to the Tarawera for lunch. Was a good ride. All day breaky up there is something else. I couldn’t finish it

and that’s rare for me.

So all you need to do is post a ride and get them underway........
