got on the RF about 2 this arvo and shot out the colyton road and halcombe hill and back....tried the new leathers for the first time on the RF...still a bit tight but nice to be able to rip the throttle open in the lower gears without fear of sliding off the back.....i think i have a new top speed but didnt have much time to check the speedo will have to try again once i got the gps back

See what happens when I am not around. The whole order of things has been messed up.

Cheers mate .. & best you check out the rides thread & calendar might give you a hint or so ...

cool...i get to lead again.... until 86 gets an itchy right hand

maybe but dunna count on it ... esp if garry comes ..... however its not a flat out ride .. more of a cruisey pace .. trying to drag some more ppl outta the woodwork ...

however am thinking that you might be able to post a google map thingy of the route I was contemplating ..

you might be thinking right .. so I might have lost them foreva ..

& once I get confident & faster .. Betsy might find a few extra horse power & lead ya all yeah i know fantasy .. we can all dream

See what happens when I am not around. The whole order of things has been messed up.

nah not messy .. everyone will sort out that natural order of things once riding .. but its not the same without you trying to lead us all astray

You will have to get that ZX out on an ashhurst ride. We are being out-manned by the triumphs.

Well I went for a nice little ride today. Due to some extremely efficient time management I finished work early and decided to go for a short spin out to Feilding for a much needed latte. It was quite cold so after I'd warmed up I thought I'd take the long way round via the back road behind Feilding - Cheltenham - Colyton and back.

However, after getting into the mood behind Feilding, I decided to carry on past the 'point of confusion' on yesterdays ride and see where that road went. It turned out to be a great stretch through Stanway,Tokorangi and down to the Rangitikei river. I've checked the map and it looks like it would make part of a great ride out to Fordell, Hunterville, Vinegar Hill way one day.
