    Only to work where I am watching the bikes go past on the cameras. Oh well it was a nice ride to work.
    I could be in Mission Bay sipping a latte otherwise.
    If you are behind meDont ask as I am lost too.

    Thats AWESOME!

    What an awesome picture! hahaha

    I was heading to the Coromandle, ran into a few troubles though!

    Thanks to everyone that either stopped, slowed down or checked that I was okay today.. I was the Yellow/Orange ZX10 in the Hunuas! Just a minor fix and was on my way back to Aucks..

    100k coming into a corner and my damn engine cutout... hahahaha Moments like that is why I love Motorcycling!

    Beautiful day for it!

    There was not one single Bike that went past without checking - AWESOME STUFF!

    .rode out to taupo for a flat-white... wind a bit fresh... nice muffty car flash as mag's... yes lights in rear window..shame through he allowed me through at 118 ..stayed about 118 120kms...nope he didn't do anything other than sit in behind, about 14km of following..then looked in mirror an he's lighting it up after an oncoming car... bugger reckon that's so the oncoming car's saw the bike-car and must have increased its speed
    .xjr....."What's with all the lights"..officer..

    Got out on my baby today and whilst it wasn't as bad as the bike in your picture, it does seem to have a mind of it's own as far as handling goes. It has been riding like a dream but it's suddenly gone all bouncy castle on me.

    Right I'm off to have a tinker, summats amiss.

    Good picture FJ.
    Oh bugger

An older rider, suspected of being over the hill (not confirmed by said gent) but found to be in good health and humor. He journeyed over the Lindis, in winter (0 deg here first thing) but the blue bike made it appear easy. And judging by the shine... not too messy.

    I went for the first long distance ride today, covered 485km. In the morning I headed up to Wellsford via Old North road (SH16 I think)... THAT was great fun!

    Got back home, had lunch and headed south for a ride to Hamilton. Bloody great fun man! Not a problem at all with the bike (CBR250RR), great in the corners and once I got used to the sound of 9,000 RPM it was excellent!

    Got pins and needles in the fingers on my right hand though on the way home... that sucked.

    BIKING ROCKS!

    EDIT: 1085km travelled since the bike got on the road a week ago.

    If I could ever call a bloke a honey (wash my mouth out mod's) it would be ...after meeting the Oldrider... that gent. I use that term in the true sense of the word.
