That fifth one is a fucken steal. It looks so tidy. If I didn't already have an old bike (and some money) then i'd so buy that.
Couldn't even rebiuld one up to that standard for that price.

Departing on a Friday, returning Sunday, accommodation is still being worked out. The more, the merrier.

There's possibly one more coming up from Napier, and you can crash at my place before the ride. You're never too young!

Bugger!

Well! What a day it has been!

Rode the little A100 for a while, its name shall be "Pippi" ... and the poor little thing chewed through the oil and came to a halt just outside of Taupo!

Many thanks to Meekey_Mouse and her brother for putting Pippi up for the night! And the guy in the van who is a biker who rides a Ducati 916 giving us a lift there!

Ixion's practical knowledge of things two-stroke always has me like a student realising things for the first time

I'm a plonker of a two-stroke owner at times!

Maverick for giving me the magic carpet treatment on the SV back to homebase, smooth riding and a great experience being pillioned!

Donor for his usual quips and fromage frais, nice to see the Intruder being let out for a long stretch!

Sprag for being the party pill popper and taking too many HTFU pills to count! Wheedling free water from the BP girls was classy!

Meeky for her patience in putting up with smelly, dirty and noisy bikers from up that way!

And as for me? Just the same old same old, actually ... this was one of the most awesome biking days I've ever had!

Good practice for the main event (and this time, I shall be prepared, for knowing is half the battle!

)
