Hawke's Bay weekend rides

Ahh nothing like riding in the rain!
Well there is actually, heaps of things!!!

Schado and I went for a tootle, looked south, so much for good forecast.
Headed Middle Rd to Patangata, pissed down most of the way. But thats ok, only water, and gives you a chance to work on wet weather riding.
Had a munch at the pub, headed back via Ypawa, HW50, rain all the way cept to Tiko, then fine when got back here.

Had a bizarre experience on HW50, guy on a Harley waved to me, maybe he could see I was on a non Jappa?
Anyway it shocked me so much I did'nt wave back.
Will God forgive me?

Oh Dale give our regards to your family, hope all goes better this week.

Hey George, I'm buying one of those this week, got 2 chains to do this week, and a few bikes I do at work coming up, so thought would add a tool into stock, if you want to wait.

Yep

that was a nice wee ride. Yep

that was a wet ride. But I enjoyed it. It's always hard giving up riding, but it sure did get bitter cold upon arriving back in Napier... even though right now the sun has come out for a quick teasing, and the fire is going for it.
