Bloody good ride up the valley. Popped in and had cappa at Phebs. On to Apiti and back through Utuwai on the scenic route. Had a quick visit with cowboyz then off home.

Seems only Honda make all weather motorcycles

The road up the valley was damp but I only got a few spits while riding. It hailed while visiting Phebs but not on the ride. Pissed down from Ashhurst to home though. Stopped to pickup/move some tree branches again, this time about 5 kms before Apiti. Seems to be a common occurence lately.

I was also interested to see how the rear shenko handled the wet. Not bad at all. No worse than any other tyre I've had on the CX.

Sundays looking good. Hope the Hogley boys n girls have a good weekend.

Thought it would be rude not to pop in. Apperently she had a wee oopsy on that hi tech, USD forked scoot. Bit of bruising here and there but she's ok otherwise.

OI! Just making a preemptive strike here. I'm keen as to come on a ride, but my Fridays for the next 2 months are stuffed. Any chance of a Thursday strop being organized??? (less pissed rural drivers on Thursdays, I live rural and know their attitudes, not good

)
