    Well done everyone for a safe and enjoyable ride out to the wop wops and some parts of the back and beyond

    Was good to hear some good learning and reflecting on experiences occurred and getting to know the way your bike behaves.

    I was pretty well chuffed when everyone was pretty keen to keep on following me! But, thats the way to do it, ride often as you can and learn more about the this tricky motorcycling thing we do!

    Dunno about the rest of you, but I was picking a lot of bugs off my visor today!

    Well, gutted that I peeled off just after Ararimu, but alas my eldest boy and his breakfast parted ways, so it was a rapid journey back to home to clean him up and hose the back seat off...

    From what I was able to see, some awesome and sensible riding happening - good stuff!

    Yo, I'm glad I met up with all you guys at around 1:30pm. Had a blast heading back to Clevedon, got home and found I had some pretty serious fork problems. Looks like I need some new seals eh? Boots and fairings were covered in oil when I got home.

    Probably lucky I didn't cark it.

    That black rubber ring is supposed to be inset into the fork, OMFG it's not

    Gonna go see Mike Old at Drury Perforance Centre, he's my hero.

    Hi I have just latched onto this thread. I'm looking at going for a run this Tuesday or Wednesday. either afternoon or evening. I'm based in Te Awamutu and ride a 250 single. Had thought of either out to Kawhia or up to Te Akau via the raglan rd , returning thru the Waingaro rd. About 1-2hrs

    If any body is interested, let me know and I'ill go when ever it suits the majority. Had thought we could meet up at Ohaupo and follow the side roads .

    There are plenty of roads between Ham/ Camb/ Te A. that suit an easy run at 80-100 ks. with lots of cornering fun without breaking the sound barrier. Anyone who's keen takes responsibility for themselves.

    gigjoe, your riding uniform is so distinctive that it can very easily be recognized which is real handy if you're known to be on a ride that's worth joining.

    Sunday 20th to Big Bay, who's keen?
