    Two Bananas on 22

    after a dam good wetting last night getting home from work, imagine my surprise to find a lovely sunny morning waiting for me today, what better way to dry your leathers than a bit of a blat on the bike.

    Shot out Awhitu for a quick blat, then down to the Auto bahn to meet with Cajun, from there the two men rode down to Drury, OLd GSR, ramarama, bombay, harrsiville, Tuakau, and down 22 ,quick stop for gas at Nargwhia and back the same way for me, Cajun into Hams and back to The Mt. No cops spotted on 22, did see a red holden mufti thingy at Te hihi on the way back from Awhitu but he had a cage bailed up, great day, now my back tyre is totally fucked ,Jimmy will call you in the morning.

    thanks for your company Neal, catch you next week.

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    Yes but 14 hours of "work" is not the same as 8 hours of WORK.

    Anyway, starting 1 Dec I'll be able to ride any time I like, coz I'm probably going to be unemployed.

    Yeehaaaaa!!!!

    Whats even better i get paid to ride my bike, its a hard life sucking up all Daves share dollars dc:<

    Hopeful i wasn't holding ya up to much old man, they are your roads and i never riden on them, but did pretty well i think, had unventful trip home a few around hams way, and a rather quick pace set from the tauranga turn off home, since i had to get back to tauranga to look at a house, had an awsome trip up the kamiais, had some old fullla in a brand new hsv ss trying dragging me off up it, he didn't last long, i love riding on these hew michelins over the pirellis i had, i the pirellis never felt stable mid corner, where this michelins do, and they feel like they roll in to corners better, guess they just suit my riding better than the supercorsas

    Cheers dave, i catch ya next week and we will repeat about ride dc:< its looking like it be a wesnday avo again, but won't really know until next week

    good on ya for ignoring people obsessed with race grade tyres like me mate! I love the pirelli's but its great that you've found something else that suits your riding. The supercorsas do really sharpen the bike steering up a lot wirh the profile so thats probably what made it feel unstable to you.

    as since i am not riding at full lean angels which the supercorsa i think is made more for/designed, but the strange thing is the michelins feel like the tip in a little bit quick from straight line, but from there they are more linear where the supercorsas once over they just wanted to keep cracking over i mean. I mean it must just been me cause MR is not having any problems with the supercorsas i have taken off mine and given to him.

    Race grade tires are a bit of a waste for me due to tons of communting, i mean i am about to push 10k km's and had it little over 6 months now, i mean i done welly and back(1800kms) and i normal only go for 1 good ride a month or there abouts.
