The rides are never exclusive 250 rides, just if you turn up on a bigger bike you just have understand the bulk wont keep up if you decide to take off

My Dear Miss Croft, you know any two wheels are welcomed on any ride! Bigger bikes more than welcomed to ride along, and shoot ahead, turn around, ride somewhere else, come back to check in and zip off ahead again!

I'm catering to all those who wish to lay more rubber on the road, travel past their comfort zones and above all, have plenty of fun, fun, fun!

The more the merrier

But, it's an early start! And here's me still awake! Bad boy! Off to beddy bye byes for me now!

[Winter]

GIjoe, good to see you again mate. The others I didn't quite catch the names of nice to meet you.

Was last to the pub even though I got to the bottom of the kaimis with only Chris in front of me cause my fuel light came on. I tried going to Te Poi but that servo no longer has fuel pumps so had to ride to Tirua/Tirau whatever it is on SH1 before Putaruru. Bike ran out and died just as I pulled in the servo driveway.

Ride back was good fun and my foot still hurts from that cat's eye it hit. I know DMNTD's world now.

Joe, seriously love the sound of your bike man, shame all 250s don't sound as cool.

Believe it or not, I didn't actually pootle the most milage today! That honour will go to either Minny or Toymachine! They still have to get home and here I am already posting up my first impressions (which I will have to detail later ... have a friend who needs a lift in my cage)

To Zeroindex : Mate, you are a crack-up. Good to catch up with the 'Tron crew and that skit with our mobile phones was straight out of a Monty Python gag! Glad you kep the reputation of hard riding up! And, oh yeah, what's your next trick with pillion seats?

To Zeroindex's mate (Rob was it? ) : You're hard-case like Zeroindex, figgers he'd keep friends who are just like him, biker hoonz!

To Waylander : Your ride is one serious piece of metal, I was drooling over it when we split up after the Tauranga Uphill GP (DMNTD heard me say "That's one serious piece of metal!" )

To DMNTD : You're still a nut-job, fruit-loop and one straitjacket (no, not str8jacket! Sheesh!) away from the funny farm! Seeing you ride hard out like that, fair took my breath away - I think your destiny with Aaron is kismet!

To Blairos : You ripper you! Your expertise with the dogpoo puncture repair was worth the start of the ride being delayed! Good to catch up and hear from the horse's mouth about your trip down SI ... I'm inspired! And handy to have a map to check it all out too!

To Toymachine : You are a legend in the making, ratbucket looking bike and you're ringing the nuts off it! You beauty! And nice save on my rear tyre - I think I should have backed off a little with it having a hole in it and all, but the honour of my little ol'Hornet was at stake!
To Minny : I think you maxed out the potential of your Ginny and ride more than anyone else today! You gave it death and gave it the learn through the twisties, by the time you get home, I think you would have top honours for pootling milage!

Okay, mate just txted me, need to dash (sigh ... cage bound ... I could have clocked more milage on the little ol'Hornet!) Will post some photos and the usual epic thesis that passes for my posts here in KB!
