Need to clean the bike today, done 4300K's last week - Bluff and back the long way. Yesterdays ride was from Wellington, over the Rima's to Cape Palliser back over the Rima's thru the Aka from Hutt to Waikanae, up to Stratford and thru the Forgotten Highway home

Need to have a rest today

Planning to head up to Tron for luncho, then mebbe home down SH3 & SH30

Back now:

Rode up SH1, avoiding as many of the looney Sunday drivers as possible - there seemed to be a glut of them between Karapiro & Cambridge. Went for lunch at 'House' (used to be loaded hog). Got a bit of sun out on the deck, while waiting for the food. Food was good, took a long time to come, and I think the waitstaff are still kinda learning. Decided to forego a couple of shopping type things I had planned on doing in the Tron, in order to spend a bit more time cruising.

Rather than take SH3, we tooled off down SH 23, and since I gassed up in Tron, we decided at the last minute to head out to Kawhia. On the way back from Kawhia, the clatterclank of the footboard scraping and springing up thru the corner was something new.

Rocked on thru Otorohanga and Arapuni, then back to Tokalofa along Old Taupo Rd.

The ride presented plenty of waving opportunities

The group of Adv bikes coming out of Otorohanga looked like they had had a good time.

The refuel after lunch in Tron was exactly 10L, which even I was able to work out that we are getting approx 19 km/Litre 2- up. It has a custom single pipe rather than the standard twins, and I will get the ECU mapping checked at next service, so fuel economy may even improve.

Seems like everyone did their own thing over the weekend. Couple of options for this weekend (Sunday) Hampton Downs NZ superbikes are racing and another option is

or you could just spend the day on the bank watching NZ play Aussie at cricket (If it goes into the 3rd day??)

Come down Wednesday (its in the calander) and lets see what everyone wants to do.

Friday 26
A few showers, mainly in the west. Westerly breezes.

Saturday 27
Long fine spells. Westerlies dying out.

Sunday 28
Dry with light winds

Ride while the weathers still good!!!

Ideally someone at the pub on the Wednesday night will come up with a ride for the Sunday and post in the thread and it would also be good if they put a calander entry up as well for the LOR Sunday ride. Unfortunately I have not been there the last 2 Wednesdays and it appears nothing has been sorted as a group ride but smaller groups have done something on there own. Sorry that no one was there on Sunday insomnia I guess nothing was organised.

Awesome photos, but if those lunatics keep riding on the wrong side of the road like that someone will come the other way and wipe them out
