the new leathers are primo sandra, a damn fine investment

you should get years of riding out of them

its always a bit of a mission to keep things together with so many bikes but everyone got there and back in one piece, so all good

the blue CX (there were TWO today, would you believe) tried its hardest to stay in front with a Bones Bond smokescreen, still showed good pace for a 30 yr old!

Ahh, that's the stuff! Great day/weather/company and bikes. Was fantastic to be back on the Ace for the first time in about 6 or 7 weeks. Glad you're happy with the new jacket Sandra, looks great and is nice kit for sure.

Thanks for organizing a great day out.

Great to see everyone.
No bins and no tickets = successful ride I reckon.

Edit: Many thanks to Phil Turnbull Motorcycles for the lend of the '02 Yamaha YZF 1000 done 63000 odd km's and is for sale

Good day out alright! Very much enjoyed the R6, it sure gets along

Well done everyone. Certainly enjoyed the day out and meeting a few new faces. 27 bikes all up at the Patangata Pub for lunch.

Yep, my leather jacket (don't wear it much now) is entering it's 18th year of service. BTW: I'm not old! I'll be old when I buy a big fat tourer...

Nice one chanceyy, it looked like you had a good crowd when the 4 of us dirty boys left Woodville.

Saw and heard you all when you left Ashhurst, went through the torn heart strings thingy of wish we had gone, but never mind
Sounds like you all had a good day. Stayed off mine for the day apart from a little grooming
