    Quiet 190km toddle for the most part apart from the occassional 160kph run on a secluded private road. Katman would be proud. Had forgotten how smooth Ronda is. Tyres need replacing cause they're a bit worn/hard/old. Anyway lifes good. I'm still alive in case anyone was wondering Just taking it easy and saving the pennys.
    Good to hear from you bonez, thought you were being a bear and hibernated for the winter

    Sounds like a good weekend was had by all.
    I even managed to go for a little ride. Headed out Rangitikei line to Awahuri, then through to Feilding and out the back heading to Halcome. Started to wonder about my petrol situation (really need to figure out how that reserve works properly), saw a turn off for Mt Stewart (after a Smoke stop) Headed back that way, felt pretty good about the road, and my skills on it. Probably helped having done part of the same road on Saturday with the boys on a tag setting mission. Back on the main road to town. Not the ride you guys did, but enough for my little bike and skills. Had fun, that is the main thing.

    Would that have been you I saw turning out of Mangamarie Rd onto the Track?
    Was quite a treat to see one of the old Honda Fours out on the road.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    Yip. She a '76 model. Had the old gal since '86. It was certainly a good day for a scoot.
