we arae not keen about Eketahuna but keen for a short social ride and coffee over the track and maybe out to the main road and loop back.

Looks like I'll be there to watch Garry get his ears down on some more corners then, and make smart arse comments about Cowboyz bike

**slydesigns** · 23rd November 2007, 20:48

Damnit! I can't believe I binned the bike on some damn grass. Now I'll just HAVE to fit up some new TYGA fairings to replace the shamefully damaged stuff.

I don't have to make smart comments about Cowboyz bike as it creates enough attention on its own.

What manner of magnet attracts copper?

Had a great ride this evening.. Kaz enjoyed herself except for a little moment heading over the track and no it wasn't the gravel. I got a little gear happy and chopped down 1 to many and founds us sideways. On the gas hard to keep it there and stop the dreaded bite and we were straight again.. Very lucky!!!

The gravel came out of nowhere even thought there was signs warning us ahahaha.. !!Note to self, pay more attention dip shit!!!

Pitty about the bike Si, at least it was low speed on the grass and not high speed the road though

great ride. So pleased Mrs Cowboyz decided to come 2up. Really good roads. I should have known better to be doing the highly irresponible speeds of 116kph on a main road. At least Mr Police took pity on me and let me off. It was a little ironic that everyone behind me was going faster than I was and I end up being pulled over. If Police had decided to book me that would have been my licence so escaped a close one there.
Made up for it with good hot chocolate and chat at piahatua and then a run over the track.

That was a bummer alright Sly! Lucky you were at low velocity at the time. Poor old fairings too, leaving little bits of them behind like that

here here. Although I dont think he pulled me over for speeding. He just wanted a closer look at a quality motorcycle... Just a good thing he didnt hang around for another 5 mins to see a Daytona going up the road huh?

That gravel on the track just had to be the most irresponsible piece of roadworks ever! Why can't they sweep up after themselves! It'll be there for months now!

Unfortunately not lol. I thought about it but it looked as if negotiations were proceeding well and I didn't want to tempt fate

Yes, he would have loved the Daytona, gentle old sedate beasts that they are

agreed. those road works were shocking. I just couldnt read the road at all. Even when on the gravel I couldnt see it. It was just a thin coating of shingle in 2 lanes down the road. Bonez got very sideways on it in a move that a less experienced rider would be pulling thier bike out of the ditch. Didnt help the car that we followed through it was throwing all the stones at us either.

WHERE THE PICS?
