Taranaki ride, Sat 22 Sept 07

[yod]

weather forecast has seen some serious improvement over the last 24 hours

new tyres are on the beast...mmm....nice


unfortunately i've discovered my rear disc is royally shagged so I'm gonna HAVE to replace it very soon - just won't be using the rear brake much this weekend....

spotted a familiar looking YZF outside phil turnbulls, sure enough, NZsarge was floating around inside

sweet...you all go for this arvo? i dropped the RF off this morning for its new shoes

was a bloody nice ride in this morning, what a day....even if I am hungover....
pass the panadol

For sure, feeling a bit rough this morning myself, too much cycling and not enough sleep this week

Soon as I saw the sun that all changed and I have been looking at the clock every 5 minutes to see if it is home time yet!!!!

Get to try out my leather trousers too, no laughing

you should text 86, he needs to pick his bike up at 1pm , if you delayed maybe you could give him a lift in then go for a short burn together

What a stunner!

Sounds like the day for servicing alright

Dropped the Trumpy into the shop this morning for her service then went to Waiouru, Raetihi, Jerusalem, and back via Fordell. Amazing day and the roads looked FAB.

Heading into town to pick up the baby and have a spot of lunch in the sun.

Life is good on a day like today

well its actually looking pretty good here and over your way on saturday, it just looks like shite over new plymouth/taumarunui way

Weather looking great right now, (just washed all the bugs off from last nights ride)

I am very keen to get to taranaki asap so stops on the way up will be very minimal.

Sounds like someone is on a promise....

Thought I saw your bike parked at Anza's this morning but when I took a closer look I saw it had some carbon fibre goodies on it.

[NZsarge]

Great. Will be as Ashurst Mobil s/s for an 8am depart

Yep realise its Saturday - couldnt do it otherwise

Sweet, should see you there Tony...Hopefully. I won't bother ringing you tonight then...

[Timaa]

whats the actual route? are you heading north first or west?
and what time is people leaving actual palmy town?

[cowboyz]

head up the west side of the map first. I should go look at the map cause I cant actually remember what I put on it.

Basically, follow the guy in front of you. It will probably be 86, Yod or I pacesetting so not alot can go wrong. Really.........
