yes all to regular for my liking

**Storm** · 23rd November 2007, 21:46

Yes , it was a good wee squirt and I always enjoy the chance to brush up my dirt biking skills on the gravel(Tui moment).

It was shit signage and all, but thats NZ roads for you- dont go round a corner expecting a decent exit as a matter of course.

Bummer about the fairings Sly, at least you didnt maim yourself and the bike too seriously. Must've been the salt and grease from the chips on the ground eh?

Bet the Cowboyz family is feeling the luck just now

I got a little gear happy and chopped down 1 to many and founds us sideways. On the gas hard to keep it there and stop the dreaded bite and we were straight again.. Very lucky!!!

The gravel came out of nowhere even thought there was signs warning us ahahaha.. !!Note to self, pay more attention dip shit!!!

(helmet)

Yeah, another good friday night ride.
Was feeling like it was past my bedtime but going through the gorge my concentration felt fine so I thought "well seen as i'm here it would be rude not to" and I felt pretty good all the way home.
I dont know know what happened to Barry on the ZX14 as he said he would follow me through the back way to Oringi, got on the bike after leaving The Black stump and he disapeared, did a couple of laps of Pahiatua but I could'nt see him anywhere so I legged it expecting to see him on the road at the turn off but no....if I left without ya sorry dude....
Anyways, you guys doing the FH ride on sunday...Have a good one and we are all expecting heaps of photo's sunday night/monday.

Edit: Hey Barry if you want a hand with the fairings on your bike when you put that radiator guard on just giz a yell. Same goes for you too Meanie, fairings are a pain in the arse and are so much easyier with a second person.

I can clear the mystery of Barry for you Sarge. He was waiting down the road a bit when I went past. Said he'd give you a few minutes, but it wasn't to be by the sounds of it.

Sorry Sarge I think I must have been waiting at the wrong bridge!!!! not the main highway one but the one up the first balance turnoff.

Thanks for the offer with the fairing will let you know.

All I can say is I'm glad to bend did'nt have much of a camper. Recovery was more good luck than good management. Checked me undies this morning and well, hmmmm.

Sweet as.

Yeah I should have not been my vague self and specified that I meant the big bridge between Mangatinoka and Woodville...my bad!

That takes you to Oringi and I would hazzard a guess is a little quicker than going through Woodville not to mention much more interesting.

Edit: Hey your first post! Awesome...lol, keep it up eh.

You just need to learn not to indulge both your passions at once- line dancing AND biking. One at a time and you'll be sweet

He he, really just want a look at the inards of the ZX!

Yeah I know from exprience with the Ace that two pair of hands when it comes to re-fitting fairings is a big help, three pairs is even better
