Yeah that was Mr & Mrs Yod, I was on the RF up the front

But I did let them pass on a straight just before we got into Taumaranui as I had let off plenty of steam already

Yeah twas me, at that stage I was feeling rather aggressive & loving the roads so passed everyone, a real nice blend of (posted) 50/60ish km/h corners, damn what a magic bit of road. Yeah that tar in places was a lil tacky alright, I never had any issues as whenever I spotted it I button off a few notchs, im the same mate not keen on finding the absolute limitations of either my bike or my riding

Call me crazy but after my major accident in mid June im a lil cautious even though it wasn't my fault.

Too right! Yep, we all had fun yesterday and came home ok. It was a real shame that Bonez had his little mishap but at least he is in one piece. Really hope that's his last little adventure...

I've never witnessed a nasty bike accident or had to pick up the pieces and I hope I never do.

More most likely

. Good excuse for a repaint in the near future. Got a couple of indicators today (only needed one but thought a second would come in handy). Got a spare mirror and sorted out a headlight assy from the spares box, ahem garage. So Gerble will be on a WOF condition in no time. I'll keep and eye out on Trademe as I have a cunning plan that you could pin a tale on and call it a weasel.

Well dudes and dudettes,have sucked the big kumara,and looks like Palmy will have new family next year,all going to plan.

Spoke to rental agency about approx rent for our abode,will cover most of mortgage,rates and insurance,even my very nice bank manager said don't sell,you have enough equity in this home and let someone pay it for you,bearing in mind major oil and dairy influx of workers for next few years.So now we need to find a couple of jobs,have a few on short list.Bugger that I didn't get my shit together re carpet flooring sales/quote job in Wellington a few months ago.So it looks like a couple of idiots for rides next year.

Sarah have bought a new helmet,as new gloves and boots off trademe last night,so Janine is happy,no helmet slide lol.Now I might change the idea of a VTR1000 or SV650/1000 to something upright and two up suitable a bandit 1200 seems good,or hornet 900.
