Sounds interesting, all those northern gravel roads are calling!

Thanks guys, it was a good day out, about 500kms for me so you waikato boys must have racked up a bit.....anyone got any pics?
I carefully forgot to take any as I was too busy doing battle with Pete, the last bit home on Krippner got "interesting" in a couple of places.

1. We can go even further north if you like, Ian. We could base a weekend at my place at Russell.

2. Yeah, I looked in my mirror at you too long and looked back at the road to see the corner a helluva lot closer than I thought. I think your near-oops was much the same when I was following you.

3. Me, too, with the camera, which was in my bag the whole time. I always forget to take pics. My camera does 5000km/pic, I think.

4. A good, fun, ride, and great company. Thanks, guys.

PS I have done a real latte ride, you know: www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=355891

No, no, no, no, mine was "lets not close the throttle and try applying the brakes" then "why the fuck is this thing not slowing down, followed by, where's that corner gone then?" Clearly not my finest moment.

Far north ride sounds good, can Paul still get his Latte up there?
