Midweek Meanders, Wednesday, BP Fitzherbert 6ish

[Horse]

Yeah, great evening for a short ride, with work being as busy as it is currently, I'm definitely not getting enough opportunities. But this weekend should help resolve that somewhat. Thanks for the company... and the cake!

All welcome but be prepared for cake

Sorry you didn't make it mate. Just a local pootle but sly made me laugh the whole way round
Spent more time on 1 tyre than two I really want a 675 as a track and play bike and the blue beast for the grown up stuff

Spent more time on 1 tyre than two

Shhhh - Maria has asked me to tone down the wheelies as they are getting too long and too high for her comfort now so the official line is "I never, I don't and I wouldn't..."

Mine will be forsale end of this year or next depending on where my studies take me round the world...

My lips are sealed You were just possum jumping

Ummm tempted but I have seen the way you ride it and it is the wrong colour of course (only do Triumphs in caspian blue)

Anyway 2009 been a financial f**k up so will be a couple of years before I can get another bike. Unless I win lotto and thats not been unheard of

To be fair I was only thinking on the way to work, I maybe like watching the 675 more than I like riding it Especially when it is 'not' going on one wheel for ages infront of me. Oh and sorry about the gravel and turning into a nana on that bit

The beast is just such a dream I am totally ruined for anything else at the moment. I enjoy it more the more I ride it, never boring

I know before you all say it I am a sad woman because I love my bike. Guess what ? I don't care

HA! you know how I discovered that gravel? I pulled a wheelie up the hill behind you and the rear slide while it was up! Interesting feeling and seemed controllable but it took me a second to work out what had caused it when the front finally came back down as the HID's are TOO bright and didn't contrast the gravel too well.

Well spring has sprung and at the first dry opportunity I dashed out for a ride. We have been trying to plan something for days but the Fazer has been hiding from the rain

Started at Cafe Cuba as a spur of the moment decision and headed out to Ashurst and Pohongina Valley. A gravel excursion for repast. to pat a few ponies and to challenge my abilities again.

Next the beast encountered an old garage companion which was a little wierd but good to see it back on Manawatu roads. We soon parted company and I had a great ride over the saddle, along Ballance and back over the track to finish at BP Fitzherbert

The fuel light came on along Ballance so I know for the GC that the beast does 20K at least.

Since the track days I can keep up with the CD crew now (providing I don't get 3 punctures and get left in Dannevirke ) so most wednesday whizzes will be with them. As for the rest of the week. I will be riding most nights so post here before 5 if you wanna go for a blast.

Happy to take whatever pace suits the majority. I get plenty of thrills on the way to work and back and just enjoy getting out and about on the Beautiful Blue Beast as much as possible. Especially as it had a tweak at the last service and is even more responsive.

Have a few big trips coming up so want to get plenty of riding k's under the belt so I am fit enough (and the new leathers continue to fit )

See you out there
