Thanks for an excuse for the little pootle. I should have mentioned the tag to Geeen, he might have been able to point out I was headed to the wrong dam! (I turned back 20KM from the dam I wanted!

)

Don't sweat it, I went past it twice today and didn't stop. You still have the rest of Easter Weekend to get it....

Did I see the two of you south of Taupo in the afternoon? Figured there can't be that many GN250's riding around the countryside

I waved.

Good! Bloody weird though seems more responsive when counter steering etc. also feels like it struggles slightly less getting up to speed?

Anyone keen to join at all on ride back up on Monday? lol. Back to Taupo tomorrow and to Auckland on Monday get back there about 12pm.

We are in Taupo for the Hot Rod show. Met up with Scummy and Mrs. Scummy. Nice truck! Kudos to them for travelling all the way from Balclutha in it!!!! Including running the Forgotten Highway!

He met up with my mate here with the '66 T-bird convertible and they swapped notes.

Traffic out of Aucks Friday was a nightmare!

Might go back tomorrow eve to avoid Monday's nightmare...
