    Is this the best weather for riding or what!

    What an amazing day out For mid May this is just a gift from above. Thank you weather Gods. It's fine warm days like this that remind you what motorbike riding is all about. The bike has earned a spit n polish and well deserved rest...until I do it all over again tomorrow.
    In fact the past few weeks have been brilliant - for those in the Welly region anyway.
    If you were not out riding today...do you have a pulse?

    We passed? I saw so many bikes out Rapa way my arm was getting sore from waving. Sorry if I didn't wave. And yep, I gave the bike a right good thrashing.

    Hehe, it certainly was a perfect day for every mad biker and his dog to be out!! I think I passed you on the hill at some point, then I saw you on the way home as you were going around the summit, looked impressive (as always!!)

    The weather here in Hawkes bay is always like that.

    We were at the summit and I knew it was you coming round the left hander with looking.

    Of course. Except when it's not.
    We all need to take advantage while it is so nice.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    The wall looks good tho.
