Weather feels a little cool at mo,reasonably clear sky.Was great day in central naki,bit of traffic though,normal for Friday.Road's good condition.

Catch you in morning,ride safe,might carry on through for a bit with you,have to check timetable tommorrow,have birthday/pissup to go up the mountain,nice place for feed,accomodation ok too,good place for you guys to organize a ride,they have a shelter to sleep in for cheap pricks like me,was up there once in winter and stayed the night,just as well the road was closed after restaurant shut,due to snow,couple of cars were towed down by 4x4,snow was about 2-3 hours too early.

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.........

uuummm....ok.......

Betsy has a twin, I spotted her/him at Phil Turnbulls when I was picking up the RF - this thing has to be the mintest bike I've ever seen, same year, same colour, same everything and it looked like it just came out of the showroom!! whoever owns it is a serious obsessive compulsive when it comes to cleaning - impressive (not that Betsy isnt impressive....)

tyres are partially scrubbed in after a quick jaunt out to Foxton Beach but the roads were pretty straight so I've got chickenstrips the size of state highway one

the daytona was looking very tidy, 86 has put some elbow grease into it this week (in readiness for it's big outing)

quite impressed with sarah's loaner; a 900 hornet, we all had a blat around the beach carpark on it and I was quite impressed, felt more nimble than I expected for a 900 (or maybe thats just cos i ride a fat-arsed RF ). Sarah seemed to be getting the hang of it nicely too - should be a nice comfy beast for tomorrow
