Went on nice wee ride over the weekend....

Leaving on saturday heading to Gisborne via Feilding(had too drop of rear wheel that mel carried

) then on too Ashhurst for a quick stop in at the meanies,time we got going again the rains had arrived bloody women

So a steady pace was set to try and out run the rain and by the time we had turned off on too SH50 we pretty much had......apart from a few damp roads from here on in we had a sweet ride and were enjoying a hot pie of 2 at Bayview BP

The remaining trip to Gizzy was a blast,very little traffic mean't we had an open road.....and the further we got the dryer the roads became although Mel was Shocked too see snow on the road side in the hills north of Nuhaka.....all good we had a great trip and were looking forward too the night ahead

Yip another piss-up at Aunty's

Come Sunday we headed to Katikati Via the gorge,Opokiti,Whakatane,Tauranga....Although this was a more direct route we had a blinder from Gizzy to Matawai and the second part of the Gorge as for the first part it was slowed just a little by ice and grit proberly more grit than ice actually,but the second half of the gorge was superb and the PR3's were great refuelled bodies and bike at Opokiti..... and just cruzed too katikati,enjoying the fine weather flat seas and the multitude of bikes we seen between Whakatane and Te puke(Mel called them half hour harleys

)

Monday we went too Hamilton in the Car

the gurls were on a shopping spree

Today we did a road we havent done for a very long time and even a road we have never done together on the bike...

We kept too SH1 from Tirau all the way to Rata and stopping at Taihape Couldn't believe we didn't see any HP cars until we got too the Turakina passing lane,and the desert road was brillant although I was told by a certain pillon that the pace was a little slow

which seemed werid as she asked me to slow down at Turangi as she reakons "I may have ball's but she doesn't" TBH I'm rather glad she doesn't have balls

All in all it was a great round trip
