Not at all. Was a very even steady pace and there's more traffic on Middle road than was that side of the lake. Back to Taupo for an orange juice before the ride back to Napier. Once again was hardly any cars on that highway too, and the roadworks were all cleared, so no hold ups there either.

We got back into Napier at 5. And the only Police we saw was by the airport. Quiet road too, with very few vehicles on it. Did notice the Tarawera was shut for renovations.

yip cool ride.

My scooter got eaten by a truck today!!!!

I was working and was out collecting a bike and when I came back to the workshop I saw boken tail lights. I walk into the workshop and see my scoot that I've tried ever so hard to keep on two wheels all broken up

, mostly cosmetic but could be a chance the frames bent.

Insurance here I come!
