It seemed slow as soon as I got back on it after the test ride.

Can't wait til I get a supersport of my own. All in due time..

Weather seems like it'll play nice tomorrow but I might be putting my liner back in..

Hey fellow Assassins, question? What's the fastest and most user friendly route to get to Palmy? Weather permitting I may head those ways next weekend. How long does it take?

State Highway 1. Boring but easy and fast.

Hey fellow Assassins, question? What's the fastest and most user friendly route to get to Palmy? Weather permitting I may head those ways next weekend. How long does it take?

use google maps for kms and times.
When I go to Wellington, I use Highway 39 from Ngaruawahia to Otorohanga and then onto Highway 4 through Taumaranui and on through National Park, Paraparas Wanganui etc. A scenic route.
I also get to Palmy from these roads too.
Love the roads and have travelled them all my life

Have a safe trip and no more hogs, you hear!!!
