Have thought about a cruise for you guys if your interested.

Friday 25 April.Leave Palmy say 9.00 ish,leave Hawera about 11.00 to go round the Surf Highway.

Hawera to Dawson Falls about 20 mins ride,on a good day great pics can be had.

D/Falls to Opunake 20 mins for drink,onto Oakura for lunch stop say 1.00ish.

Oakura to East Egmont via Carrington rd,(comes out at Mangorei Rd and SH3)and up to East Egmont via Egmont Rd.leave about 2.00pm.

E/Egmont to Stratford Plateau takes say 20 mins,back to Stratty for fuel/drink about 3.00.

Stratford to Hawera around 4.00 ish for coffee at our place or up town for early feed if my coffee is crap.

You should be back in Palmy around 5.30 or so,depends on time at stops,could be earlier.

This can still be an overnighter if required and we have storage if needed for bikes.

We can't do Saturday ride though as Janines' son is getting married that day,gave us 3 weeks notice,so makes it fun getting preperations going.Don't think she's preggy,mind you they have a cute son,haven't sat him on bike yet,must get him suzuki shirt to match his ford racing one.

Sorry to Gary and Lance yesterday. Me and Lis were on a mission doing a loop from feilding - ashhurst - gorge - woodville - lunch at the Boots and Braces - Pahiatua - the track - ashhurst - cheltenham - halcombe - feilding. We didn't have time to stop so I hope the horn was a good compromise. Was going to stop in on the return loop but you both had bailed on your bikes.

A bonus having a girl rider with you is when you both get pulled up leaving the paihiatua track for doing 115kph the friendly officer waves you on your way when he sees her and says hello - she was the lead rider too!

good to hear Lisy is back on the bike - what's she riding, the ZXR or the other CBR?

ZXR yesterday. But its off to road runner engineering today to finally have the exhaust hanger replaced.
The CBR400RR is at (Lack of)Freedom Honda awaiting an insurance decision on the damage caused by the trucking company when they picked it up from Auckland.
The CBR250R is still at Flintoff Panel awaiting an insurance decision on the damage caused when she was rear ended.
