Yep, I'm all good. But a lady KTM rider has a banged up ankle. Ambos fantastic, probably didn't need the chopper but glad to know it's there...

Looks like fun, but you can have that horrible loose shit, makes the cheeks pucker up a bit much for me

Hope the patient heals quick

Mint ride with Al over the Napier-Taihape Rd today. We really smoked that road (see last pic) and were forced to let our tyres cool

Awesome views and great company........cheers Al!

So do yellow Triumphs

Funny enough I was bored today so did the Paraparas the gentle annie for 80ks then u-turning @1230(remembered the manawatu gorge was shut

) and going back too Taihapi then on to fields track and back down the Paraparas.....

Next time I think I will take the xt and explore river valley
