Just back from a bloody good fang over the Saddle and Gorge with Mr and Mrs Ynot. Daytona running like dream, 36K on it now. Good to see the elusive Bandit out

**ynot slow** · 26th July 2009, 17:16

Elusive bandit just clocked 12000km,should get 36000km by 2020.Still like the gorge road,nice 70km ride lol,fuel guage just started flashing so 1.5 ltr left and tripometer showing 358km,if that's the case that's good 2 up economy,think I reset it last time full tank.

Body feels pretty good,even the twisty bits didn't agravate ribs,but the odd bump was felt,still 6 weeks on feels good.

Enjoyable (slow)ride lol,and the Shoei is a damn fine lid,little bit of wind noise to suss out.Be good when weather stays like this,even daylight at 5.30pm.

Nice to have you along. It was an awesome ride. Fordell Hotel is a great stop. Bugger about getting lost and taking that detour through Wanganui. I hope you got home safely and are now warming up with those study books out.

Good to see you managed to get out at least once this wekend, Just got back from Hastings, middle road was great, I passed two cars going in the opposite direction, magic!

Nice, enjoy.

I'm definetly riding through to Hasting as above, it's too nice a day not to, albeit still rather cold.

Halcombe hill was damn cold this morning. Lots-o-frost around. This arvo however......

took 25 minutes to go to work and 10 to get home!

It only takes about 45 minutes with line-trimming included.

donut session will result in no lawn mowing for months!

mint. I was thinking about ditching the work thing today and heading up with ya. Then I remembered that they pay me to be there. Would have been a mint day out there. I got my fix on the commute home.

Yea, it was ultra mint!
I know it was late notice and all but given the weather we've been having and given the weather today i'm mildly surprised there were no takers today.
Anyhow, i got to hand at my mates place most of the arvo and checked out his new Black VTR, all apart from a bodgie wing mirror it's in top nick.

**86GSXR** · 26th July 2009, 19:16

Sounds like there was some pretty mint riding going on all over. I ditched work early arvo, couldn't wait to get out. Saddle was in quite good nick and the gorge has some new seal. Shadows caused a couple of moments and there was a fair amount of damp patches and stones on the road as well. Sharp lookout required but awesome run

**dogsnbikes** · 26th July 2009, 19:28

Good too see you all out and about enjoying the moment...riding the ferry is a far cry from the bikes but it was mint here too

only 36k in 2 years on the Daytona AL you need to get out more

my gurls Are itching to get out any Volenteers??

**86GSXR** · 26th July 2009, 19:31

You may be able to twist my arm lol. Also had two Tigers which have clocked up another 25

**dogsnbikes** · 26th July 2009, 19:34

using Tigers is a lame excuse

**Flynn** · 26th July 2009, 20:00

Would have loved to get out on the bike during the weekend, but not so

Hopefully the weather only gets better

and then it is 1 1/2 months till full and

just have to get the big boss to approve a new bike

And they say kids are bad with xmas days to go.Think 45 days sounds less,same when you lose your license,the first month drags then all of a sudden it's time to enjoy the license.

Ha, yeah thanks didn't think of it like that, 52 days to be exact,

I've never lost my licence but I suppose your right, only two more fines to go

Something to look forward to
