Just learn what revs in what gear is what speed so you dont get a ticket, and you'll have REAL low k's when you come to sell it!

Yeah, mega-suck. Especially when its about the side of a round bar of soap >

I'm going to go hunting for a second hand one.

According to google maps travel time in one direction from Bp Autobahn to Raglan is 2hours. so minimum 4 hours riding time. Plus time for some food in raglan and also some rest stops - that would make it about 5.5 hours at best. This means back in auckland roughly 3:30 ish or maybe later depending if we find that back road or not. All this is rough estimate.

So i don't know how this fits with your working plans ...maybe its time for a sickie ...

Badger , Magash is just kidding. He wouldnt dare touch the GNs - he knows they are our good luck charms and they keep us safe.

Btw, I can be passed by a walking person if I'm riding on Limestone gravel

The GN's are built from old soviet tanks, i'm sure. Harder than coffin nails!

Even i slowed down a lot on the limestone gravel... Shhh....

I think i would have given the buses a run for their money on that road! Pity no one could keep up to read the speed for me

I also slowed down on that stuff; it was pretty damn crazy.

You were quicker than me on the big stuff (where you passed me), but i was keeping pace, maybe even catching a touch on the gentler stuff, and i was doing about 80-90 most of the way (some bursts to 100, some slower patches around 60)

There was no slowing you down, GN's or not!

Aw bugger, we might have to ride back up there to have a fair rematch.

Wouldn't that just be a terriable shame
