Yea had a scan through those. The old man had a few, just wondered if anyone had some from another spot. Was REAL fun racing on slicks in the rain just after you Jase.....only 10 secs off dry pace, so need to find some speed in the dry!

Had an awesome run on the bay yesterday

Hot wasn't the word - never been sweating inside my lid at those speeds before

Dressing for the dull miserable start in Palmie at 7am probably didn't help

I had three spare tires tied around my centre by the time we had done the first 50K.
Met MK1, Charlie41 and Brett for brekkie in town and Ross and his lady were there too enroute to Gisborne.
Quick whizz out the back of Onga Onga then fuelled up (nice RS) then on to Ocean Beach. Nice cops up your way

cute too but I must be getting old as he looked about twelve.
They say that you are 'as old as the man you feel' so perhaps I should have grabbed his number as well

Music and and some refreshments at Wiamarama and then round the back to Wiapawa.
The southies headed south from here and Brett headed home.
Left the Wellies at woodville after a 600K of great riding, we will be back for a long weekend soon.
Great roads, weather and hospitality in the bay
Happy New year to all of you

We came home in 2 groups from our lunch stop somewhere in the wops near a dam.

Me & Denny by ourselves had a great ride from the cafe to Taupo with Mr Beltronics saving us a few times.
Then we picked up someone on a ZZR1100 at Mobil Taupo who was gunshy after bacon got him on the ride thru to Taupo earlier in the day, so he hid behind my Radar on the Taupo rd return.

So.......what did you buy G?

That smacks of running under your own rules...no one else knew it was a race, so of course you won!
Didn't you know it is naughty to race on the road?
I believe RDJase is selling his road bike now.....

Great day, blardy hot riding home, tho.
I appreciated the beer hXc had left in the fridge for me...what the hell am I going to do when he moves out...buy my own..that is just wrong!
