then 86, sarahtvet, dogs, chanceyy and I shot out the halcombe road, up SH1, through a couple of back roads led by dogs, a quick stop in hunterville, then up and through a wet vinegar hill, back roads back to feilding for a giant coffee and another bunch of photos and a sit under the heater (my toes were fekkin freezing!!) then we shot back down towards palmy and split up for home

the 2 trumpies look pretty damn styley together and chanceyy was showing a fair turn of speed ahead of the viffer in places!!

and nice to meet the new addition to the crew, Sarah the vet - look forward to seeing you out there some more and especially when you get your CB from the UK!! (pssst Bonez, a CB750 with 4000miles on it!)

Be nice to catch up. Kids are out at last, so a bit of "spring" cleaning, well rearranging anyway, being carried out in the Bonez's household. Gbs ready for rego and wof. Bugger me theres's a '79 CX up for grabs too. Temped and have the space but must prioritise........................................ ..damnit!!

great pics Yod ... & thanks for the great lines from vinegar hill (my first time through there)

damn well enjoyed those long straights out back of fielding .. yeah Betsy had wee issues with the engine braking on corners (still accelerating - thank gawd for brakes had to use a heap to slow her down) but on the straights

now that was definately fun ...

certainly glad i had a few layers of thermals on .. was a great ride guys

Sarah nice to met you & can not wait to see the bike once it arrives .. yeah bonez might want it for his museum

Might have to check my mail box later .. i

i reckon, and check out the weather today!

farks sake....stuck in the office til late again too....

yep, will be good once you get your own wheels, plenty of decent back roads around here, the others have shown me plenty (Bonez knows just about every one) - will have to make sure he's got his CB in running order when yours arrives, then we can have twin trumpys AND twin hondas

Loved the look of those two Yello 955's parked next to each other at Manf. My companion was less enthusiastic about the colour yellow
