Hawke's Bay weekend rides

[robertydog]

Good to have you on the ride Stephen your a sensible rider and your bike sounds awesome when you open it up.



Na we only got wet from Hastings to Napier with a little light drizzle somewhare along the Taupo Road, but into Taupo and around the lake it was fantastic weather you all sure as hell missed a good day out.

Good stuff G. Beats sitting around the house or working.

Didnt make the sprint today as body was very tired and I wouldnt have had the concentration for a high speed dash around some of them tight corners.

Thought that you may have been slightly shattered.
Was very hot out at the sprints. 26-27 bikes, something like that. Very grippy road and a lot of rubber left on the exit of the bends.

You must have snuck through in the gaps...
I'd looked at the forecast, and thought with a new, unscrubbed front tyre, that would not be a good idea, so stayed home. Was talking to someone in Taupo mid-arvo and they said it was wet and blowing hard.
You lot are jammy bastards, eh?

I could of done you a deal on a scrubbed front tyre for a small fee

Damn. I wanted a PP2 this time...didn't ave and couldn't get...so went for PR2. Old tyre had nothing left, bar straightline running. Who wants to do that?

You wouldnt need a PP2. And whats wrong with straight line running? I do it all the time

[MSTRS:Me]

You wouldnt need a PP2.

Perhaps not. But I wanted to try it out...was quoted same price.
Now I'll have to wait another 18 - 20,000 kms...

And whats wrong with straight line running? I do it all the time

Dunno about that. But what I saw today - you'd get 10 rears per front. Front has to be on the deck to wear, don't you know.

Yes it will be interseting to see what mileage i will get out of the front

Good day out for a damm good thrashing. That R1 sounds something else when it's coming towards you wrung out.

Thats what everyone keeps telling me. Might have to find a road some where that i can stand on the side of while it is coming towards me.

Not bad for an old fella.
