Very pleasant day and nice to meet so many new people.

The Katana was perfect for those roads. I wouldn't have gone any quicker on anything else anyway.

Good on you lot for not falling off, undertaking, raucous overtaking, or splitting up into little cliques. Channcey shouts a lot though.

And someone needs to talk to bonez about his NLPM - Non-Lucid Passing Manoeuvres - too much acid in the 60s maybe?

Sounds like a damn good day, wish I could've made it. However, had an amazing 2 1/2 days on some stunning roads! The Forgotton Highway was even better than I could have imagined, simply amazing!!! Had a great bbq with Ynot slow and just home. Looking forward to the next one

thanks to sarge for leading us through a new section of road from mangatainoka to oringi - nice little detour that, just watch out for the miniature dogs! good riding with ya

cheers to MSTRS for the company back to Napier - nice to be riding with someone all the way up

good to see everyone out there too - nice having a good group to ride with

had a good cruisy ride back from Napier today - weather stayed happy all the way back so it was a good weekend overall, 650kms covered and thanks to banditrider my posterior did it in considerably greater comfort than in the past

looking forward to the next one

Glad seat cover still works. No excuse not to do a GC now...

Enjoyed following ya out to CP and then following Meanie back. Silver bike enjoyed the exercise.

The '70s is where it's at. Too many lucid wet dreams.

Hey did that Indian get kicked into life? Blurdy pretty it was too.

**James Deuce** · 23rd October 2007, 17:18

Yes the Indian fired up and boy did it sound nice. None of this potato-potato HD rubbish, I can tell you.
