    Ashhurst boys - western expedition 27/5/07

    what a bloody magnificent romp....pics appearing soon

    cowboyz - you can do the ride report (if you can remember the whole thing, well done!)

    i think i did somewhere in the vicinity of 780km?

    pic 1: stop in marton to rescue bonez thermos
    pic 2: gas for 86's gixxer in waverley (cos they're built for speed, not economy)
    pic 3 and 4: gassed up in hawera

    What can I say. That certainly made the 9 look slow. Your 335km/hr was so quick you ended up behind me!!! Just organising some pics and remembering where we went and I will write up a report.

    The CX recorded the old imperial ton (actual 105mph if you take in the undereading speedo error), which didn't think was too bad for a 29 year old 500. On a closed private road obviously.

    it was a splendiferous ride

    i loved the whole road from awakino to taumarunui...was totally in the zone...was fair ripping along - some of the best riding i've ever done without a doubt

    thanks to all you lot - you guys just set the perfect pace....i really feel like i improved a heap today
