    Sunday arvo rides, ya can't beat 'em

    Well, today I took my first sunday arvo ride in a bloody long time....It was great to get out and hit the roads with just one thing on my mind, enjoying the afternoon...I headed up to the Huranui Tavern for a nice cold one...The roads were good, and the traffic was well behaved...I went up with my flatmate Rob (if ya were at the CHCH wed night ride last week ya mighta seen the strange dude with the Ducati Supersport)...He brought another mate along for the ride who was riding a GSX400. Got there and saw a few bikes go past...Think I saw FJ Rider and Kiwiphoenex go past...

    Anyway, was a nice ride...although a bit too short....

    Thumbs up Awesome

    Was a fantastic day, "still is"... going back out .. 120km for me the learner, and I love it... loads of bikes out... two great charity rides happening, and the "kids in cars" in Pukekohe... was great fun watching "erby" and some classic cars go around the track for a bit. Some nice drifting by the V8 Utes... gotta love the burn outs.

    Yup. We did 300km Charity ride. A big loop through Island block road, and then back through Waingaro to Mercer. What a blast. I havn't had that much fun on a bike since the last time. And that was too long ago.

    Was definitely a beautiful afternoon, didn't do much more than cruise around in the city visiting friends and then going to a cafe for lunch but still had a better weekend than I have had in a long time. I definitely hope a decent number of us got to get out there and enjoy ourselves. Getting tied down on chores or other obligations would have been pretty irritating...

    Air was cold enough still that you don't feel like you're roasting or sweating too much but the sun was hot enough that you couldn't feel too cold.

    Perfect.

    Ah so do you ride on the SATNR... or just weekend rides... yes thanks to Andrew I picked the YAMAHA... always been a Suzuki or duc fan.. and def a harley or triumph lover... but this wee thing suits me down to the ground as a learner, even tho I would love to give her a good blast, can't wait to reach 100 plus.. sigh.

    I am not much of a social rider. This was the first group ride this summer/spring. Warming up to ride to Wanganui again at X-Mas this year. I havn't ridden that route before, man it was a blast, heaps of twisties and smooth flowing corners. Perfect SV country.
