Manawatu weekend rides

[SuperSonic]

all good. it was an adventure alright. got really cold in the middle of the island. its better to bail than crash. I have some new designer scratches on the left hand side of the 9. First time in over 60,000km the fairings have been introduced to the road. It was the bizzareist lie down I have ever seen but I was pretty pissed off. I parked under the sign at pio pio for a photo shoot then walked up the road to get my camera then took a photo and then waited for everyone else to get their bikes sorted and walked back to it to hear monie yelling to catch my bike. I was about 30m away and nothing I could do except watch my bike fall over at 0.00003km/hr. Broke my indicator which was a real hassle cause then I couldnt use it for the rest of the trip!
Following Yod up 8 mile cheered me up a little bit.
Have to look at a paint job for it now.

Oh man i miss all the good stuff, bugger mate on bike, but now you can upgrade. You did say you were due for an off?????
Catch up in the week.

yep. FMS. only disappointment was mt messenger. I love having a blast through there but just couldnt trust the damp road. Awakino and 8 mile was awesome.

Will be down that weekend hopefully,is dads birthday the 5th so rude not to call in on way to Stratty.

[sarahtvet]

Might take a little excursion ride out that way on the saturday to check on the state of the route after this weekends little southeaster !

I have to say the ride home from work last night was quiet interesting thats for sure
I know I signed up for the grand challenge and have an across australia offroad adventure trip on the cards for the spring but I didn't expect to be practising for it last night

The rain wasn't quite horizontal and the wind was only blowing like a small whirling dervish in gusts so I suppose I shouldn't be such a girl and TTFU I just so hate getting the blue beast dirty.

The leaves, moss, small brooks and branches made for a interesting slalom such that the gravel on greens road was almost easy

Hopefully it will all blow away and be blue skies and sunshine for the event It was gorgeous by the time I landed in auckland this morning

Few of us planning a pootle saturday so maybe join you if you want some mixed ability riders to check it out.

Napier and Wellie visitors all keen to join in so should be a few of us heading south. We shall have to stay off the rum at the party but if the ANZA escpade anything to go by probably a good thing for me, my head wasn't clear for days

[ynot slow]

Well all I can say is who cares the weather type lol,can't ride for another 2 weeks so roll on 11th July.Then let it be fine.

I did say when told you can't drive for 4 weeks,did that mean I can ride,the look of disgust from doctor(house surgeon)summed it up,blooody 'nother crash victim in wait or similar,the physio nurse was ok as he is about to get his learners for bikes.

No how ya feel Al,head into shed and look at bike longingly,is that love?

So I guess there are no 14's where you are? That's just wrong! Still, Kwaka 600 side by side could be a laugh, take it easy over there dude.
BTW, the RF does'nt do bad burn outs actually, lap of Manfeild was pretty slow due to the lack of rear grip after the burn out and Yod was riding a bit average that day. Don't worry Yod, we all have our off days...
