One issue will be pillioning her down to wellington though...

Rough plan, open to tweaking:
Palmy crowd meet at BP Linton at 8.45am, leaving at 9am
Ride to Levin via Shannon, fuel stop if needed at the Levin BP
Ride to paekaks - Haywards Hill - Hutt Motorway - Wellington City.
Me, Mellissa and who ever peel off to collect the NC30 from somewhere in the city while everyone else grabs fuel and food somewhere in the city thats easy to find and get in and out of.
Meet back up, head over the Rimatakas perhaps or where ever you all suggest.
Then home.

Changes?

He he, I think while you two are off picking up the new bike (congrats) we all sould go to TSS motorcycles and test blast an R1 and an Aprillia RSV/Tuono

Will see if I can get the speedo on the monster sorted by the weekend. Might get the mrs to climb on the back since the pace will not be blistering. Will be my first ride with a pillion and her first time on the back of the Duc... I will get my A into G on the speedo thing.

I might bail at upper hutt and come back up this side depending on time.

learn wot?? .. how to get lost

must say cowboyz is a great mentor rider as well sure helped alot with my cornering

**cowboyz** · 8th October 2007, 20:40

careful. My doorways are only so big and I need to fit through them. Besides, you are only saying that cause you havent ridden with me enough for me to lead you astray yet...

bloody hell...dont say that....he'll have to replace the suspension on the kwaka to handle the extra weight of his head

damn, since i missed out last weekend i might have to sneak along on this one (assuming i get the RF's brakes sorted out in time)

might even bring the VFR just for a laugh if i've got the front calipers back together

fyi....had a report from roger_doger on his new/old VFR today - he rode it back from Hamilton to Palmy last night, set a healthy pace by all accounts (and those of you who know him, know what a roger_doger healthy pace is!)....overall he's pretty impressed I think, sounds like it runs well and handles nicely too...but then we all knew it would, it's a honda!!

No, no... I just want to be behind him when he washes the front again... I was too far behind last weekend to see it happen. If I watch him do it, I'll never need to try it myself and save some skin, gear and fairings in the process.

So are you volunteering to double Lis, Cowboyz?
