    10-15mins easy.
    30mins if you don't know where the hell you're going so go everywhere.
    How did they tow Pepin Island around to Kokorua?

    Frick Hori Bay is great spot. Easy to forget the vista is so magnificient with all the good riding out there. Dunno why you'd want to go where there is gorse tho...

    If you come up from the skid overlooking Pepin Island, cross the road and head east down that road...

    It is good, isn't it.
    Think of gorse as being like marshmallows. Marshmallows made with broken glass. Marshmallows for real bikers.

    Got a new, longer chain on the TT today. Means I can run the trials rear without chewing the centre knobs off on the shock protector.

    Works too. Went up Sharlands about 8pm and headed up Hurricane Hill and down around the longcut on the gun club side of it. Apart from finding myself in 2nd gear half way up the first short bit and changing down to neutral, there were no issues at all

    Great fun in fading light

    Now I want to do the SSoD loop clockwise. Ending with going up the SSoD

    Following on from the tyre thread discussion....

    I'm going round the block on sunday (weather dependant) any one wanna join in ? No picture taking or mucking around for discussions on oil or tyres.

    I need to get some k's done to get the 6000k service done and finish off the stock tyres

    Going in to Hori Bay with the trials tyres on.
    Going to do a SSoD clockwise loop if it kills me

    A real challenge would be doing it feet-up but I'll be happy doing it without injuring myself or the bike.

    Yes at this stage weather dependant, and the weather isn't looking that promising. Possibly pick a route depending on said weather. Sheepy and nurofens sorted.

    Ghey tyre is on, friggen hard work getting a hd tube in there.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    I had a look last nite at the weather & said it was gonna be good this weekend - not that that means anything.
    I'm heading out to Titirangi Bay on Saturday on Schmidt so won't make the Hori bay ride.

    Just looking at the weather foreskin and it looks bad all over. Not that keen on riding all day in the rain, but we'll see.
