[Tony W]

See told ya the weather god is a bloody woman!!!.

Tui anyone!!!

Bit late posting but flick a call to Napier or Hastings information center for weather.

Weather here is fantastic

[Bonez]

Furrrrk'n good ride. I'll let Sarah do the scribing.

Needless to say mediocrity, in the form of Gerble, traversed the Annie once again without any hiccup.

Good ride and Great company, thanks folks. The 10 doesn't make a bad adventure bike. Bloody near run out of gas, Ongaonga 14.48L in to dented 15 Liter tank. turned off Woodville 5.30, home by 8.00, rain 8.15.

Great road isn't it! I did it last weekend and loved the gravel. The Tiger devoured it for breakfast, even had a few slides going toward the end. Seems Sarah has a few more dirty rides in mind, watch this space

Glad you made it ok. We waited at the Henderson Rd turn off for bit. I ended up leading the other two astray. Thought it would be rude not to .

What weather? Slight breeze was about it really

[Horse]

I was in Foxton all day. Grey, hazy, and blowing a gale. Really soul-sucking weather - I don't mind rain, but wind gets to me. Glad it was nicer for the ride.

Had quick turn around at Taradale pickup and then stayed on H/way 50 to Kart track. There just before 4.00 so didn't go past Henderson Rd. Buckets were packed up and gone, so headed south on 50. Never been thru there but defiantly best way to Napier, for me now. My bad, should have laid out my little diversion clearer earlier.

Probably the best time for you to part company as if you stayed for the Bonez tour it would have been more like 10pm before you got home.

Can't say my bike made a good adventure machine those axle tramp ripples where not fun to ride and I swear that was more like 50ks of gravel not 27 as signposted.

Good ride on the sealed stuff anyway so that made up for it.

[86GSXR]

Glad you guys had a good ride. I got txt'd many times during the day by the ride organiser so I kinda felt like I was there. Something about Al fresco

[Bonez]

Now the important question _STAIN_- Did you get an icecream?

Well by my fuel stop at Ongaonga 4.30. I was over the icecream thing and more interested in a drink, since last one was in Taihape. Although I did glance at the freezer before I bought the drink and pie

Umm... when I hit SH2 there was a sneaking feeling I may have been in front of you's.
Think the 27k sign was a Rangitikei one, they didn't mention the gravel bit in the other district.
Magic road once we hit the seal Hasting side.

Will get onto a proper report later this arvo I had a few hiccups with the laptop so that interfered with me getting to it sooner

Have a few pics, didn't stop at all the views as the entourage worried if the SK1PY stopped, especially after the near oops on the grass

Most impressed that you made it to us by 10am to come ride Annie with us. Hope to see you on some more Manwatu adventures

The bonez bonus and beers were perfectint: and you got stunning company the whole time, what more could you want

Well I know Tui brewery bring shut was a little of a disappointment but you can't have everything

Ok so you need softer suspension, it was a bit of a bone rattler in places but that's part of the fun. The slightly pained look when we stopped halfway did make me offer to swap bikes but probably good we didn't with the slick front tyre on the GSVR
