    I really got into the section south of Waikawau once the road opened out a little - and the Awakino gorge bit as well...

    yeah after Waikawau the road really does flow and gets a good groove on

    You can add an extra 60km to that for how far 1wheelriot went... we got back at about 5-ish

    Good turn out, great ride
    That route kicks ass

    hmmm, I need to bulk up on food since I can't eat tomorrow. It'll either be this or do the KFC thing we did last week. Trina was spot on when she said Rototuna is good. I can burn of the kg of fat by not having anything tomorrow ahah

    Might see you guys down there. Might not.

    Nah, not my handywork i don't have the eCommerce customer base to make CCD processing viable, getting there tho.

    He's local, a good dude and he's got good stuff my zero gravity screen come from him, and a few other trick bits. Definately local.

    I think leyton got his clearskins from him too.

    He seems to do reasonable prices. In saying that, I'm looking at getting some Techspecs, screen and Comp Werkes tail light so it's gonna be cheaper for me to get them shipped from the states together (and he only stocks the screens). If I was getting just the screen I would probably go with him. Might have a chat with him to see if I can give him some of my money.

    Yeah give simon a buzz, he's got ways and means of combining things with good pricing, i've been surprised a few times
