good following you back up the valley today sandra,looks like those riding tips from cowboyz are working,u4ea will have her work cut out keeping up with you now!sorry i didn't ride all the way back with you,i stopped and had a bit of a yak with yod near waterford.

[cowboyz]

great run today.

Caught up with Yod at mangaweka. the ride from dogs to mangaweka was quite slippery. The rest of the roads were great. ended up coming down vinegar hill then out the back to feilding then over halcombe hill for coffee in bulls and back through mt biggs home. Happy Happy joy joy. Met a guy Paul on a duke who rode with us over vinegar hill and halcombe hill. Suggested he sign up to kb so see if he shows up.

good ride (is there such a thing as a bad one?)

RF was getting a bit more of a treatment today as I got to know it better - the edges of the tyres seem to work just as well as the rest - and all this with mrs yod on the back - she's having way too much fun back there....
there's something about getting a bunch of 900's together - i blame it on peer pressure

sidestand kept scraping on the vinegar hill twisties but ya get used to it after a while will have to see to that soon tho....is a bit off-putting

nice to meet paul on the st4s, it's got some go and sounds bloody nice too

meanie may have to change his name to ER-SIX - he seemed pretty happy with the mouse-machine and good to see 86 and dogs out there again - good to see the usual suspects back together for a ride - that southern plan needs some serious discussion over a couple of quiet bourbons and a map i think....my place is always available for that sort of scheming

sorry i missed ya chanceyy - saw ya but you had to get back home i know....

pics at mangaweka where a few other bikes came through, and a coffee stop at bulls

Another excellent day out thanks folks! It was slightly longer than I'd thought it would be, but that's all part of the fun really. We're really blessed with some bloody good roads around here when you know where to look

Good to meet Paul, let's hope he signs up. A bike with that much class deserves to be part of it eh!

Yes, a South Island trip is definitely on my to do list this summer. I'm keen on as many miles as possible, and the Takaka Hill is a must. As is the West Coast, Fiordland, Invercargill, and as many of the passes as we can fit in. Wouldn't mind a stop in Dunedin too, as I spent my formative years there (maybe that explains it) - great town!

Awesome ride I considered taking mouses bike for a spin this morning but then decided not too until i tried to start the meanie and she just didnt want to budge out of her warm shed (flat battery) so i graciously accepted mouses offer when he rang to tell me he had the ninja in the drive warming up for me Thanks Mouse
What an awesome little bike, it handled so different to the meanie, so light and nimble on those tight pohongina twisties It was great to be able to keep up with everyone without having to wind up so much on the straights
Awesome spot you got there dogs, great place for a kb get together
Good to see you riding again Alister, did you even have an operation Always a pleasure Mr and Mrs Yod, Mitro 10 mega have a wide variety of springs in store you may want to consider putting an extra one on your side stand to stop those occasions when the butt cheeks pucker up as you hear the sound of steel scraping road Very nice bike, especialy for the price
And yes cowboyz nearly got lost again out the back of Fielding, never dissapointing
Hope you sign uip Paul that bike of your sounded bloody nice when you left us
Good to see you again blacksheep and Chancey your riding is definitly improving and your chocolate cake was very nice indeed, you can come again as long as you keep baking

Sounds like you have been having fun, glad to read that the 900 is getting some proper workouts at last. If you are scraping metal and working on the edges of the tyres Ali is going to have to pull out all the stops when I get back and come out as pillon occasionally. After all I will have to do some work myself when the Honda arrives
