, that would be awesome!

Did see a few bikes out today. Forgot most, but I remember an SP1, an SV650 with screen, hyosung GT250R. Got a lap and a half of the gorge in.

Thanks for the ride dude, really enjoyed it. And the weather held out well.
The centrestand may be looked at closely this week (but it comes in very handy at times

)

There were plenty of bikes about all day, saw a whole bunch parked up at the Kerikeri bakehouse on my way to meet CBobR.

Just chucking a few more ideas out for future rides:

Short (less than 2 hrs):
-Matauri Bay Loop
-Keri, Okaihau, Ohaewai, Paihia, Kawakawa Figure 8
-Taupo Bay
-Horeke (never actually been here)

Medium (4 hrs or so):
-Helena Bay Rd
-Kaitaia via Maungamukas
-Opononi, Dargaville, twin-bridges.
-Whangarei Heads and up the coast.

Any favourites/other suggestions?

Maybe a night ride? Not much on telly lately and apart from quiz night at Citrus, town is pretty quiet midweek. It's still nice and warm, photos of scenery turn out a bit average after 6pm though.

Could you please change the 2 hour ride to 5, and the 4 hour ride to 7... You need to make that adjustment time for kittie..

Well............I officially work in Kerikeri full time now ( Mill Lane ) and will make the home move to Waipapa tomorrow, So now I'll be terrorising the streets of Kerikeri on the buell. Hope to see you all out for a ride soon.....

Awesome stuff....

I've also just shifted house also.. Not any closer to my work though...

We'll see what happens in the next 6 months or so though...

Will maybe see you all around... Sucks cause my bikes stuck at mums.. I have no lockable gagre... *sigh*

Yep............ all settled in to the new house up Pungaeare Road finally. Unfortunately I've now got 5 kms of metal road to deal with.
I've finally got a garage now too so I've taken the bike off the road over winter to do a few mods and some customizing......she's getting a full repaint and some airbrushing also.
However I will keep in touch and can have her on the road again pretty quick so just let me know when you guys are going for another ride.

**CBobR** · 18th June 2007, 17:14

I'm down to no bikes at the moment too, one sold and one having work. I should be back on the road in a couple of weeks though (target is a Taupo trackday).

I think I hear the Buell past my office a bit before 5pm some days.

**SpinFx** · 25th June 2007, 15:56

I wish it was me, but she's parked up in the shed being modified at the moment.......... But be assured it will be on the road again soon and worth the wait.......

Then your'll definately hear me going past.

New Exhaust, Flamed Corbin Gunfighter Seat, New Tank Panels, Hyper Unit Air Filter, Painted Mags, New chrome Mirrors & Footpegs, All Stainless Steel Bolts etc, Polished Alloy Rims and Tail Section, New Paint & Custom Airbrushing.............to name just a few.

Damn.....I'll be too broke to put gas in it

**NotaGoth** · 4th July 2007, 11:52

starting my 2nd shift back at work tomorrow.. *is all healed up* just the odd tweak here and there... So I'm back in my boots...

good on ya kiti, we will have to all catch up some time when the weather settles. My partner HITCH is keen to go for a ride with you, she's still learning too so you gals should be a good riding match.
Till then...... work hard, play harder.

Bout time too.. Housebound sucks.. And its a huge step from a couple of weeks ago...

She can't be that keen..!!! Ask Wayne.. I'm useless..Took long enough for me to stop being shy and actually go riding with him...

So long as shes okay with me going super slow..

More like.. Work hard, can't play cause I'm too tired..
