Manawatu Rant n Rave

yup well about 1200 ks on the clock since thurs ..

the bike .. each day I could simply keep riding it

one or two wee mishaps

but nuffing major .. just

on thurs just one hell of a magic day on the bike riding to Te Aroha, got to the olds & quite frankly could have just kept riding, not many cars on the road & love that back road that is mr

free

well again it was an awesome weekend & get together just great to meet up with those from last yr & some new ones .. then there are the other regulars from the neighbourhood

Hot pools last nite .. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well need I say more

and must thank Gareth & Sels for the company back to Bulls today simply awesome guy

great riding through the heavy rain, talk about 4 seasons in one day & we were well behaved when we passed the fuzz but I think they prob felt sorry for us as well

sorry to have missed Sly & Sugi at vinegar turn off but from the sounds of it we did not miss you by much at all ..

great to finally catch up Al & that was a fun wee flick through Halcombe Rd

cheers Carmen & Pauly .. ...

& thanks Sugi for the ride to Levin .. always fun

Yeah, I really enjoyed the day, it was good to get out and catch up in a different way

Wish I'd been able to make Turangi, sounded great! Bring on next Saturday

yeah dunno about this being swamped by triumphs though

however BB handled it with aplomb

& yeah one day soon we can swap bikes .. but I want BB back again

just remember to book queens birthday next yr

its just far to much fun to miss really ... & yeah you would have been right at home on the ride yesterday ..

must invest in a kit though (now I know how it works) & then we will not be sitting on the side of the rd for a few hours .. actually really surprised at how many bikes went past & did not stop .. quite an eye opener really

but it was a spirited ride back even if busa pete was on a 3/4 inflated back tyre 2up

Well I could tell BB was loving it, all those good looking Brits to play with

I clocked up 29000 km today, nearly a third of the way to the big 100

Those puncture kits are brilliant, saved my ass on occasion, lucky there were a few around!

Thanks for the offer, I accept lol

Not in this thread ... just in the weekend rides thread .. anyhow it was both yours & bones suggestion in the first place

I was using an example of how you can discuss something in this thread that happened in the other thread without clogging up the other thread with shit. If there was ever a reason the other thread was needed it would be that bonez had already posted in this thread that he put up another thread and I missed it and put up another thread.

who is confused?
