Around 3-4 weekends, next weekend is Paeroa, have a weekend off, then it's on again!

that was a nice lookout place ...

Glad that the 250cc riders were safe apart from Deano - though he's a big boy! Bommer and I crawled back on the one bike with some support from Kim. I just gave my Hornet an oil change, chain clean and lube and full bike 'CRC' wash down (no water). She's back in almost show room condition!

P.S. I love following two smokers, that RGV brought back old memories.

Yea, damn youtube is a shocker for reducing the quality of the vids, the original was MUCH cooler!
And Mikes bike is a twin, sounds real cool huh?!

Ha! I wound my rear shock preload onto max but she was still a bit soft (Bommer and I make up about 180kgs combined), so the pegs never stood a chance really.

Was it you that had the low tyre pressures? Get it sorted at Tairua? Did the bike ride better afterwards?

N.B. I check my tyre pressure about once a week when commuting and before every open road ride.

Ya it did perform better afterwards; the air machine wasn't working properly so needed to do it at the mobil just before the whangamata turn off. Yes handing did pick up a bit but man did it chew out the remainder of my bald tire.

As much as i hate to admit it, it was one of those things that as a girl i kept overlooking

never mind i know now and wont make the same mistake again. Now all that is needed a new tire and i'll be sweet!
