Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[marks]

Reeeeealy laid back ride, Nordie'll have some pics later I guess.
At least you took a camera, mind you I was too busy trying to keep up and keep the bike going where I wanted it to go I wouldn't have had time for pics

Note to self...... ditch E-08's on little bike

glad to hear you got home ok - I felt a brief microsecond of guilt as I dissapeared off into the distance at the foot of the hill. Did it stay running right for the rest of the ride home?

I wore the sole of one of my boots down to the nails going over the hill - I have to get a scrambler

great ride thanks guys
Tim and Dan had a blast as well

we'll be heading over the mangatapu around 1sh if anyone (woody?) is interested in joining us.

Nice relaxed ride yestderday. We went up the hill to the Harwood hole carpark. The road was looking very recently graded & yep around the corner comes the big big grader on a narrow road.
I (of course) had to sit on a few bikes (love those BMs). Had a tootle around on Tim's Scrambler. I felt like I was straight out of a '60's movie. Also had a blast on Jatz' KLX - shit that was hard to keep going around a corner.

Down along East takaka road to a long leisurely lunch at Toatally Roasted in Pohara then called into see Des Malloy from "The Last Hurrah" fame. He had an impresive shed full of bits & pieces including another old BMW, the Panther of course & surprisingly the beautifully designed motorcycling icon the Aprilia Moto 650.

We finished the avo off with a cruise up to the Cobb Reservior, a shaded piece of twisty riding nirvana. Once there we did a bit of rarking around on the flat airstrip then back home at a respectable hour.

A good day out

Maybe thats why I was so knackered when I got home

Went looking for the Brit boys this arvo. Couldn't find them at the Ace Cafe so headed over the mongatap and found Nordie coming the other way. We had a look at that old house up there and then I headed up Hori bay and did some exploring and hill climbing. There are some awesome tracks up there and the views out to sea are amazing. Definitely warrants more intensive exploring.

We should organise an evening ride out there when daylight savings kicks in & back for pizzas at the Padmei pad. Also gonna remind Topo that he's not gonna get out of a powerpoint presentation of the Oz Safari.
