Well guys and girls I kept a pretty low profile at the Rimutex this morning. Johnnie on the Ducati as most of you saw had some issues, with a short and battery that couldn't hold charge. Thought it best that Stevedee Johnnie and I headed off ourselves to Martinborough. As it turns out Johnnie's bike died numerous times on the way home and Stevedee accompanied all the way home.

Meanwhile, thanks for the feedback comments about the new Hornet, as remarked the oggie knobs are on order, the Givi screen has arrived and the mounting kit for the screen is on back order.

Thoroughly enjoyed the ride back over the Rimutaka Hill, just stayed tail end of traffic stream and the bike felt very smooth in 3rd/4th/5th going up and over the hill.

Heads Up and Enjoy

Well the gathering for the Cruisy Sunday morning ride got to around 15 bikes in all at the Caltex Rimutaka this morning. By around 10.15 the odd two or three went on their own tour, and the rest of us moved onward around 10.20.

The weather was a little unsettled to start, but what a difference once over the hill. A warm sunny day. Regrouped at the summit and then again at the Ocean beach turnoff at Featherston.

Group descussion saw us end up at the Lake Ferry Hotel for fish and chips , with the odd steak sandwich and garlic bread on some plates. A few liquid refreshmensts to wash it all down, and we were away again. Somebody suggested the windmills east of Martinbourgh, so a cruise there, then down to Martinbourgh for a coffee, before departing for home.

Great to see some new faces, and some not so new. Names escape me, but you all know who you are.
Have attached a few photos ..

Hmmmm The most important day of the year on Sunday....fathers day!! Not sure of weather yet, but do we have any dads that are allowed out on Sunday?... or will we all be too busy unwrapping socks and undies?

You mean you let miniwannabier buy your undies .. I gotta speak to Mrswannabiker about this one .... Grub and I should be there .. he has his bike back!!!!!!!!!!!

**Wannabiker** · 31st August 2007, 17:41

No I dont! You'd better ask Mrswannabiker why...or perhaps not...but some of them 'possum fur socks would go a treat on these frosty mornings;-)

**Wasp** · 1st September 2007, 00:08

hmmm i sat on the bike just before....... i better not...

**Grub** · 1st September 2007, 17:54

... Exactly 3 months last Thursday since that little fall off on the takas, I got my bike back AND the physio signed me off as allowed to ride .... yeee harrr.

OK, so what's all this about riding on Sunday mornings? Sounds like a silly idea to me, but I'll force myself ... and here is the forecast.

Kapiti-Horowhenua
Sun 2 Rain clearing early morning, but remaining rather cloudy,with a few showers at first. Gusty westerly winds easing.

Wairarapa
Sun 2 Rain clearing early morning and becoming mainly fine.Gusty northwest winds turning southwest late morning with a brief period of coastal showers. Southwesterlies dying out from evening.

... and for the valiantly adventurous ...

Manawatu
Sun 2 Rain clearing early morning, but remaining rather cloudy,with a few showers at first. Gusty westerly winds easing.

The Wairarapa is sounding good as long as we don't do the "south coast" which I guess does Lake Ferry and/or Ngawi in the eye
