    EDIT: It looked a few of you guys pussied out on the way up to the cape! Don't wanna damage those nice fairings aye Kim? ?
    Was a good ride. Rode to Whangarei and then had to turn back to Auckland as I had a meeting with someone to pick up some new tyres for the blade. Had alot of unexpected chores too which I had to get it done by the end of holiday.

    Well my fairings are in mint condition and at at least I made it half way. But I know from the earlier threadpost that you were scared to damage your fairings so I guess we all know who is the pussy fella here. Ewen bikes are made to be ridden and not to be left in the shed.
    Don't just live to ride but ride to live.

    So you left us at Dargaville and went to whangarei ? interesting...

    You should have stuck with us to "big ass tree" instead of going to whangarei.

    You missed mean twisties.

    Well I was in a hurry to get back to Auckland and so my pace was fast all the way back with the others. Looking at the photos I know I missed the fun but new tyres for the Fireblade? Had to choose the tyres. I dont think my front tyre was up to for the twisties.

    But once again it was a fantastic ride. Real nice people and great roads.

    I have heaps of photos fellas, my comp is fucking killing me by crashing everytime i add them. I have heaps from the cape and lots of group photos! So if you fellas want them I can burn a cd of them for you or you can wait till my comp decides to not crash. Oi choco where's me on the trike bro, I got knee down on that little baby. Yeah my bike is nutted, had to roll he into the garage on the rim and it cost me more than 300 bucks to get her towed to auck fucking lunacy, supposedly AA only tows you to nearest safety, AA+ tows you wherever. The hyo rider who crashed lost one leg, he went through a guardrail, a sign, and four fences or something.

    Damn wish I was there.... oh wait I was! Except I was trapped in bloody tour bus going in the opposite direction.

    Saw a whole bunch of bikes coming in the opposite direction and guessed it was the KB ride, which I was originally supposed to be part of.

    Sorry about the picture quality, twas hard to take photos of fast bikes in a shaky bus. I missed out about half the bikes going past.

    Once my bike is running, I would love to get some more gravel practice in, I don't wanna get beaten by some rocks. I think I went to slow on it aye and that why I had difficulty.
