Waitangi Day - Ride. 2008

[200BUSA]

Just have to fuel up this morning and im all set to go.

[KingJackaL]

I had huge fun, needed the practice, badly needed the advice. Thanks especially to Sal (sp?) and the guy with his wee lad (amazing how quickly I forget names ). I really appreciate it, will make sure to get more careful practice in

I think my wee 250 survived - had the first fuel light just coming on twice, so the ride was well planned even for me .

A few pics from the day:

Starting out at the Pegasus Arms just before the Northern motorway:


The bikes while grabbing lunch in Kaikoura:


Leigh's ride (I should have taken more of these pics...):


Weather was awesome, should have taken a shot down the coast in Kaikoura and on the way up past the seals - the views were perfect. Thanks again everyone.

thanks Busa, I had a neat day out, had a few really good kays with Brendan and Miriam, too. The road was clean, no-one crashed, and the cops ignored us. All good.

They were after all the motorists crossing the white line on the kink in the road.Trying to cut down on the speeding-cut corner -bang.
Traffic was pretty well behaved though wasnt it? - for a busy day on the road.

Sweet, no prob- we all started somewhere. Great you enjoyed the ride & Glad the bike survived -remember ride at your own pace- better you arrive than not at all. Great home run
Thanks for saving me from a couple of tickets.

Did you notice one was holding a radio?
The other cars 5k's up the road were taking speed shots, rego numbers and radioing them through. Often done in that area

Yep he is dead keen to get back and have another bike,im always hiding the keys for the bikes - if he finds them i know he will be off.


Has anyone else got any pics of the ride?
