Manawatu weekend rides

[86GSXR]

Don't worry too much Tracy. The Bonnie will be heavier which makes a big difference

[cowboyz]

Yea, I think I should have stuck with Sarge's option, or taken the car. At least I know what to do when the wind blows the car accross the lane. It was a very slow trip home for me. Did my confidence more harm than good.

But hey I made it home in one piece. So I guess that goes in the experience basket now.

It is all part of the adventure.

Once apon a time I rode through national park in the snow. It was so cold I couldnt feel my arms, legs or face. Bike was sliding all over the place and I think I managed to get to 30k/hr a couple of times. I was quite young (not that I am not now) and I learnt more in the 3 hours of riding than I could have imagined. Mostly I learnt to check the fucking weather forcast before leaving.......

I know how you feel T .. been there & done that .. if its a constant strong wind its easier to ride than gusts that blow you around suddenly. however babe yes you can add it to the experienced list and when you do upgrade to a heavier bike its not as bad as the lighter 250's

I know you feel your confidence has taking a bashing but once you realise you did it & got back home safely then its definitely an accomplishment, doesn't mean u have to like it but you have done it .. on ya chick

Yeah, I have a habit of typing before I think

I should've waited for her to cook tea first

[ynot slow]

I should've waited for her to cook tea first

You must have let her out of the kitchen though,unless it's a wireless laptop on the kitchen bench.

[86GSXR]

I think I'll stay out of the kitchen arguement (wireless is goooood)

That bike certainly has something about it ..

ps might have to get you to take BB for a run for me .. I just might have to be on the back to make sure you treat her right though

That bike certainly does! I have a feeling she'll be well exercised on a regular basis

Another ride on BB sounds like a sterling plan. Opiki eh

No chance of a ticket then?

Opiki hmm but they taken out our peg scraping corner .. so may have to be linton way this time

[Pegasus]

But she did it good on her .. and looking nice & confident on take offs

And here was me, thinking at the time, you would probably growl at me for getting too cocky with the take off.

I did manage a little more than 30ks, even got up to 100 in the sheltered bits. Was making sure there was nothing comming up behind me for the corners though. Pulled over a few times and let the cars way back catch up and get past, so I didn't have to worry about them too.

That's the last time I spend all that time in the kitchen cooking you toasties for tea.

On a serious note, I think I could do with a few pointers (and some more experience) before I take on wind gusts like that again.

That's fast for a Honda..........

No, you're thinking of Triumph.......

OK then, still plenty of good corners up that way eh
