Cheers Tony, I thought about giving you a yell but it was quite early. Going up again tho and I brought back a heater for the young ones. Still got heaps of stuff to sort!

Any one else up for a smaller ride tomorrow? I'm booked in for the big test Monday at 3pm, and the forecast IS SHIT

All the best for your test!!!

I'm taking the Daytona out to Manfeild in about an hour. Anyone want to ride out just text or pm........

U turn is easy,just concentrate on throttle control,nice and easy does it.And both feet on ground when stopping.

SH 45 is underated,but hard on a bike due to impressive views,shame you didn't head to Opunake Beach(time constraints),can't beat it on a good day.I see Manaia busy as ever,nice smell with Yarrows Bakery.

SH3 to Te Kuiti is a bloody good trek,again great scenery.

Thinking of heading that way for toy run which is usually first Sat in December.Goes round the coast NP-NP,with lunch at Hawera and afternoon cruise via surf highway.
