Looky looky, weather forecast for tomorrow has improved considerably (metservice and metvuw) although it might be a bit breezy perhaps.

TT2000 next week end, still not too late to come

Well after much procrastination I got on the bike and took a run through to Hastings, went via the Matamau bypass and Middle road via Racecourse road in Waipawa, that was a mint ride as I think finally the sweet spot has been hit in the suspension set up, just one more thing i'd like to try. Thanks to 2wheeled Gasman for sharing the wealth and furnishing me with a copy of Twist of the throttle 1 and Twist of the throttle 2. Cruisey ride home down the main drag. Only a couple of light spits of rain on the visor, FMS!
