Yep cheers for the ride Guy, cheers for the photo memories Merv, and nice to meet a few more KBers. Apologies for not being able to stay with the group, had to get home for my 11yr olds birthday party.(thought i was lucky enough to even get out on the bike, so best not to be late home)
Was nice to see so many Hyosungs, geez they are good looking bikes. The ride out to the coast was nice and gentle and i thought id take my time to do the one handed throttle control riding technique, kept nice and smooth and felt comfy doing it. Did find myself getting closer to the bike i was following through alot of corners so i must have been carrying a steady corner speed.
Damn it was windy out at Wainui coast, so windy in fact that rocket325's helmet started to roll away like tumbleweed. Had a frickin blast going back ahead of the group and really felt one with the road, the corner cambers are brilliant and i was able to keep a good rapid pace.
Coming down the Wainui hill i felt very confident, i had until about 3 weeks ago forgot about what i had read in twist of the wrist about keeping some throttle on downhill corners to keep the bikes weight bias correct, this has made the corners feel alot smoother instead of coasting down as i used to do and feeling uncontrolled.
Look forward to your next Saturday ride Guy, get as many rides in till softball season starts.

OK good to hear from you I'll tweak the list and 325rocket must be Grant, is that right?Present and accounted for.
Russell what's your KB name I thought you said it was Russell but I can't find a match on the members list?
Cheers

Keep out of Direct Sunlight
I also turned up but was in a Car and didn't stay for the ride due to other commitments(maybe next week)
If I had been able to come along for the ride it would have added one more Hyosung to the mix (although a naked one)
