Manawatu weekend rides

[SuperSonic]

Man oh Man what a day and what a FMS of a ride. Meet up with Banditrider at the bp, then off to track, loving that road these days, then over to Pongroa for a stop and lunch. A bit of lose gravel in places but once over it just mint roads with mint views and mint weather..
Then off to Weber and dannevirke. These roads rock following the Kawa thanks BR, apart from a few crazy animals and drivers it was still FMS stuff.
Turned off to the back roads to the saddle, where 4 faster bikers past us, then we pasted them as two missed the turn off to the saddle. Then off to the saddle, rocked over this catching up to the faster bikers (well halve of the group anyway) then slowed to wait for BR to catch up, (all of 2 min tops).

Just FMS of a day thanks heaps BR for the company and will wait with batted breath for the video's.
Sorry that we missed saying bye I tried to get your attention but must have had the music turned up to loud Anyway thanks again, catch up again.

Cheers for the ride Asterix, Kiri & Owl. Nice Avo out playing in the sun. Cleared my Grump mood right out of my system.

new bike is really cool Kiri

same to you, nice ride!

I love the bike, still a bit anxious with the cornering and the new weight - I need to get out on it as much as possible and hopefully that'll fade. Maybe up to Whangamomona for Anzac day?

No worries at all dude. It was an awesome ride alright - magic conditions and great roads! PR2's now done 11,700km and still going strong, although front is definitely not as nice as brand new.

And yep, got a fair bit of video to wade through - keep ya eyes out for it!

FMS!

Yep cheers ladies! All mint, though I did manage a few exhaust scratches on Valley Rd

Nothing a bit more ground clearance won't fix...........
