did'nt say I could, just wondering how far it was and given the distance without getting the calculator out I would guesstimate about one hour 15 mins on a closed road might be do-able

Stop talking shit you guys, the only bike capable of that is the Daytona, and you know it lol.

Just been up to the summit, shit there's been a big bang! Lot's of snow melted and a massive lahar on the north western side - very spectactular! Will post pics when I can, got some amazing ones!

Or a GSXR 1000 wasn't it

Guess it depends on the rider anyway

Chuck those pics up

Anyway, is anyone planning a ride this weekend? Finally finished rebuilding my Zephyr and looking to stretch its legs. It'd be great to finally meet some other manawatu KB'ers...
