Manawatu weekend rides

[Owl]

Really nice ride down to Welly today with Pauly and NZsarge!

Pauly was returning Carmen's daughter back to Welly, so it gave us the opportunity to take a squiz at Motorad and the new Aprilia Tuono What an awesome looking bike, though somewhat different to the triple.

Stopped in Kapiti for lunch and had a nice relaxed pootle home. There and back on less than a full tank and managed 5.63lt/100km, so not bad at all.

Cheers guys for a mint day out!

Mine 6.24lt/100km, still had a theoretical 4.7 litres left in the tank. That Tuono was really nice, I could even go one of those...

That's pretty good!

Oh and Motorad is now added to the GPS, so no more getting lost. I see TSS are also Aprilia dealers

If Cowboys can get lost in Masterton theres no hope really is there....
All you need is a wet finger there to help with direction.

I'm worse than Cowboyz and gave up after leading us into an unknown carpark

We could damn near see Motorad.........stupid one-way streets

I was like that in Whangarei a few years ago...we were up high-ish on Bank st and could see the Wharehouse (which is were we wanted to go) in the distance...got down to see level and lost it!...its a big red place that vanished...
