Good for you.

I had a great ride Sunday made better by the good cause it was supporting, thanks Fatt Maxx and the Wellington organisers. Monday, Tuesday and today just the usual commute, more of the same tomorrow.

You crazy fucks, talking bikes on KB!
12 years ago when I moved out rural into the valley where I reside, a old farmer described a road to me, he left the district soon after and I never did find that road, till 3 weeks ago. HOLLY FUCK, think 30 km of personal roller coaster! I did it three times that day, and saw about 2 cars, freaking legend!

Keep posting - there are about 100 KBers now trying to figure out how to find your lonely stretch of road!! lol

So much more bikes on the road now the weather is getting nicer

No great rides so far this week (all work an no play...but I do have a half day on friday

)
...but getting caught in that storm front on monday afternoon was friggin awesome!!

...could have been perfect...except I got caught with no wet weather gear on

...But I did manage to give the leathers a damn good end of winter clean tho

(I walked into the house squelching and drenched through...took two days too dry the gear out fully)

...I actually love riding in storms?

Ride safe KBers and enjoy the sun

Yeah, yesterday must have been a great day all round. Three of us went over to Hamilton from Tauranga. One on a Speed Triple and me on my M50 with a pillion on back. No wind, slightly overcast so it wasn't too hot, just great to be out on two wheels.

Picked up my pillion's HD from the workshop and and the three of us headed home. Left SH1 at the Mobil station alongside Karapiro and cut across Karapiro Rd and Taotaoroa Rd back to SH 29. The other two left me a little behind as I'm a bit of a nana and I'd only been on this road once before and I've found that some of the left hand corners have seal patching that has dropped on the inside edge of the corners - it's OK if you take corners a bit wide of the apex - but they waited a minute or so for me where we got back to SH29. Followed a couple of sports bikes (might have been 250s) back to the base of the Kaimais and had a lovely run up to the summit, got stuck in traffic on the way down but all in all what a fantastic day. Note to self: Must use Taotaoroa Rd more often!

Got home about 2 pm, my pillion texted later that he'd gone out for another run after he'd got home and didn't get back until 5 pm. It was just one of those days.
