hmm riding to Taupo on sat & back late sunday aft ... ..

Having serious withdrawls at not riding last weekend .. soooooooooooooo it has to be done I reckon ....

[GSVR]

The Hawkes Bay, Napier - Taupo, then back down the west side would be a good loop. Like reverse of the one ages ago when MSTRS met us on the other side.

Could stop in at the track (Taupo) and watch a couple of races.

Weather looks like it may be clear by Saturday if not then Sunday.

Well , i just got home from turners auctions after missing out on another triple SIGH !
Was thinkin either a donor bike for parts or a track hack !
Write off ! And i mean right off, hate to see the poor bugger after he hit whatever he hit on it ! Front end was gone (apart from the guages i need and lights) Wheel had disintegrated with only the calipers salvagable ! Smashed barrel where the frame mounts ! Would have been the hell mission to revinn !
Will have to keep watching !

sarahtvet's daytona has both under the guard (covered in road muck), put there by previous owner I suspect....

i wouldn't be surprised if they'd bust you for it tho - pretty sure the wording is something like 'failing to display correctly' - so it's not really an issue of whether it's valid or not, just whether it can be seen, etc

Well since removing the ugly stock fender it left two perfectly placed bolts unused !
If you crouch and bend your head just so, you can read them lol after wiping the grime off !
Sure i'd cop a no indicator or num plate light before that though lol (must chase my mate up on that fender eliminator, i drew up for him to make for me)

Ssssh the previous owner used to wash the blue beast after every ride and I never told him we lived up a gravel road

Do you really think we could be done for failure to display? Best get a cool display case like skipy has then

Lurv the bike (nearly as gorgeous as mine scratches add character they say, can't wait to get out on a ride. Shame I am working this weekend. How about next saturday to go pick up Daytona (fingers crossed)?

Manwith RF popped in today (gorgeous looking machine) Slightly dodgy tank cover but that is my mind apparently He is going to try and come along and bring Kaz. Nice roads and if we leave early it won't be too cold.

Best sweet talk 86 into a lift again. Nice roads and a triumph master at the end, hopefully won't be too difficult.

yeah it wouldnt surprise me, probably depends on how much of a pedantic tosser the warden is

yup, sounds like a plan - mrs yod will be climbing the walls for a pillion by then!

tidy beast innit!? i always knew he was into bondage

[sarahtvet]

That was a awesome ride despite losing the tank bag and getting a flattie! ....home from another action packed Manawatu ride

What do you expect never boring that's for sure!!!

the very surprising Skippy! I did not really know what to expect, but was very suprised at how capable the bike is! It has shall we say, relaxing acceleration, but once at the desired speed, she just makes it sooooo easy to stay there. I did not grind it once and I loved taking in the scenery. So Thank You Sarah very much

Anytime Yep, tight overtaking actions not recommended but she is fun and it is nice to see that you and Cowboyz know how to treat a Honda with love and respect well at least when I could see you

I got to ride the kwaka too so double fun, I know it can fly but enjoyed cruising it round the bends, especially as they were covered in cows last weekend.
miss the blue beast already but enjoying the pootleing and had great fun doing oil change under Cowboyz watchful eye He restrained himself from using a hammer on Skipy this time. Thanks for the help again mate:

Great ride and company, not as fast as the girlies though, even with time off for tank bag and flattie
