Yummy lol

Awesome ride today! Did the whole Ridge Rd down into Apiti, past Makoura Lodge, Utuwai, Pohongia, Finnis Rd, then cut back to ZigZag and Watershed. Stunning vista's and 95% gravel!

Took me 5 hrs to do 134.2 km so quite a typical Ashhurst ride That used 7.05 litres of 91 which means the DR achieved 19.04 kms/lt and cost $14.50 (not including the Latte at the end). Not too bad for a spectacular and brilliantly fun days motorcycling

Ouch, annoying and expensive. Reminds me a little of the damage done to the Tiger, but that tyre and wheel were destroyed. Would pay to have a very close look and a think about replacing it.

I have a hankering to turn off down to Beaconsfield, always wondered where that ended up Daytona's aren't bad in the dirt, but dirt bikes are better eh
