Well, that was a nice ride. Sorry if I seemed a little disjointed along the top of Raukawa Rd...had some fueling issues which were delaying throttle response. Makes life interesting when you wind it on out of a corner and nothing happens, then when you think "bugger this" it comes on in a rush, snaps crap out of the chain and kicks you in the arse....then you back off and the thing behaves like it's on a 'half-throttle'
Thank goodness it cleared. Could it have been a little water in the fuel? I've never had this happen before.

Thanks Guys for a great run today, Anne enjoyed the afternoon also.

**Dooly** · 24th November 2007, 21:06

That is a nice ride the other way back from Patangata.
Te Onepu rd and the rest was neat, what awesome roads, loved the uphill sweeps and corners.
The Triumph was running on song, felt really in sync with it considering only the 2nd time on it.
Have to go out again tommorrow me thinks.

As I look out da window I see the red sky and no clouds. It is going to be a great day to ride. Another day in paradise.

Good luck with da ride today Rob. Give it heaps mate.

Thanks for a good night out last night you Hawkes Bay crew. We will miss you Chicky but life is about going forward. Rock on girl.

Good to catch up Col and nice to have Meekey around. Good to meet you Dan.

Time to hit the road. What a great day this is going to be..................

You are right what a good day. Its go fast day today. Legal and all.

We had a blast last night at the brewshack. Can recommend the Brewshack special. We should do that again.

Good Luck Chicky, and we hope to see you on the road in the future.

**Dooly** · 25th November 2007, 06:17

Anyone up for a ride today?

I'm free from about 12ish.

**Stickchick** · 25th November 2007, 08:58

Thanks for last night, it really meant a lot to me that you guys were there. I'm gonna miss you guys soooooooo much its not funny. Starting to think that maybe I haven't made the right decision. But as Steve says, life moves forward and I think I'm just nervous about leaving to the unknown...again.

Grumpy and Leanne, it was so great to see you last night, your daughter is so cute and I would hope that you post some pics for me to keep me in the loop of how she is doing.

Big G, Dooly, Team cudby, Delta Bravo, I hope to catch up with you guys before I go. I still have two weeks in the Bay but if not, I will be back again, can't get rid of me that easily, you are all family to me and my family is never forgotten.

When I came here I knew no one, now I have a new family and I'm sure that not everyone can say that. Just don't forget me and keep in touch, if you want my email address Steve and Warrick have it.

^^^^What that man said....The Duchess and I wish you every happiness in the future Jody........ as we know, the whole HB team does. Not long been back from our our early morning ride to Taupo......the lake and the mountains looked absolutely stunning with no wind a very little cloud. That was an awesome ride on the way back guys

...thats a nice set of wheels ya got now Alvin

...it even smells brand new

Gave Dan a wave on his way back....was good to finally meet you last night. Cant get over how much Hayley has grown since I last saw her....a little cutie you got there Leanne & Mark. Hope you had a pleasant flight home Col..... Now what to do for the rest of the day???? ....sleep maybe

(tui) Cheers W & D

What a good little whizz up there and back! As usual the HB crowd were welcoming and relatively friendly...

Thanks WD40 for the lodgings and transport to & from... Good to catch you all at the BrewShack.. though I'm not too sure about that *baby* thingy..

Sticky, you'll go well in the big smoke. The friends that you've made in the Bay (and elsewhere) will be with you wherever you go. Hopefully we'll see ya riding down on your own bike before too long...

...and there'll be no couch time for me today... from bike to bits in a matter of minutes..

Aye I wasn't naked and I didn't want the rubber on the sheets. OK?

That was a great ride today. Thanks Al, Scott and Warrick. I could do that again. That road is so nice. I thought it was Dan on the road and I did wave. hope you had a good trip home man.

I love the Pilot Power Rob. Nice tyre. Think I will try the Pilot road 2 next.

Nice to see you Col. I will go and have a look at the Ute with W in the near future. Pleased you had a good flight home mate. Was good to see you up here. I didn't see the waitress standing around out side waiting for you this morning. Maybe she was scarred of you.

We have a plan for the Taupo ride and we will post it here and the Taupo thread in a day or two. I will call you Tart and see what you think. I have spoken to Meekey today and she is happy with all we have planned. She is going to sweep the corner and or get the Taupo City Council to clear the chip of the corner of SHW 5 and Kiddle drive. Let us know what is happening in the next few days Meekey.

Other than that all is well.

Did I mention it was a great ride up and back? Did I ? sorry but it was. Cheers all.

Tis true W. Such is life
