Nah, don't really enjoy riding in shit

Spent the afternoon with Tracy and Sarge at Moxies and Anza's.

Glad those bulbs worked out mint! Better than stock in mine, but I think the reflectors are the big issue.

yep. awesome day riding. wellington was all good. least ammount of wind I have seen in wellys for a long time and piecock and haywards were dry. Got a little drizzle further north but didnt have the mangrips on all day and was warm as. Roads that were wet were ok. still managed a healthy moving average (not gonna talk about the stopping average)
Turned out to be a real Ashhurst ride.

.. plenty of smoke stops
.. Plenty of smoke stops
.. Got lost

honestly. the worst weather was the 2km ride out of palmerston north and then it was mint. I was expecting a rough one but turned out to be a great day. Got over an hours footage from the camera Ill work on later. Uploaded pics to my sig already

Good to see your nephew has got over his fear of black Triumphs

Weather was still crap here until well after 2pm. Figured you guys would experience the same, so wasn't regretting my decision. How did you get on with your suspension, or were there too many bikes lurking?
