It was a good pace. Nice to view the scenery as one passes. You did well...

That Manawahe Road!.... best keep left, aye guys? I'm a bit worried about stray sheep and crap on the road, oh, and the occasional opposing traffic... Nice twisties though! Reminds me of the back roads in the Naki.

that was the most traffic i have seen on that road i usually do the ride going up manawahe rd but it was fun doing it the other way. It was a good pace and was good to watch other riders lines through the rotoma's with me being a newbie and all.

well done graham. we should go somewhere we can actuyally stop n have a chat. er..................oh you did and i was late................well a destination with a cafe or summat.

keep left, well if i can see through several corners, ill go down the middle and make it a straight line. i thought chin was going round the outside of me in a lefty, in the other lane..turns out he didnt cross the centre line. not many people his age can ride like that.....in a good way!. well done young man!

we will have to do that again and hopefully make it a regular thing.

im happy to find a corner or two, and stop and practice, give each other tips etc. has to be nice n quiet stretch somewhere. somtimes you think your doing 1 thing, and actually your in a mess!

im always learning and looking to improove.
he he

was good fun that.

Yes, he's done a mountain of riding over the summer... also, he did a trackday a while back on a wet track and managed to *ahem* cane it. He has a good amount of experience now but I still feel a bit nervous about him riding so quick.

It's always good to keep learning.

He is a well-skilled young fella, but is still discovering all the bad things that can and do go wrong on the roads - quite apart from the skill of handling a large, heavy, and powerful motorcycle.

This is why we go pocketbike racing. Oopses on the pocketbikes are small, slow, and inexpensive, and the pain and tears go away after an hour. On the road they change your life in ways you would rather not contemplate. The upside is, it improves your road skills immensely, as you have noticed.

i can't get out for a ride next week as im rebuilding my roll cage after a fairly large roll at the last round of the nz 4x4 trials and have to get it sorted before i leaave on friday but im keen for the following tuesday again. would be good to have a ride with a destination in mind.

[rapid van cleef]

ok, fine by me. however, i would like to get out this saturday morning for a blast, weather permitting. sat arvo is jazz in the park, and sunday is already booked out for family stuff.

anyone fancy it?

[trailblazer]

maybe i will have to c as i am supposed to be doing firewood or working so will get back to you.

[BiK3RChiK]

I'm away this weekend and have to do some major stuff around here before our Japanese exchange student arrives next week, so won't be able to go riding this coming week.
