Good to hear those boy racers getting their just deserts. Hope the damage at Manfield wasn't too serious either.

Excellent day out. Speaking of clean bikes, the blue one is now filthy.

Headed off at 1100 in the rain. I was particulary looking forward to some heavy rain to try out my rainsuit and gloves. Had New World bags inside my boots, worked very well.

Unfortunately, the rain stopped just past Wangas so that was that thwarted. Got a few smatterings but nothing like the deluge I'd hoped for.

Anyway, got to Opunake in very good time. Sarah's Daytona WAS looking absolutely MINT. Hot grips, Scottoiler, radiator grills, headlamp protector, Pirelli Rosso's, and immaculate groom!

Great to catch up with Kerry. Decided on a plan for my bike while Sarah was test riding hers.

Going for Scottoiler, radiator grills, 30K service, AND the much touted tuneboy midrange boost. Should add quite a few extra horses

Had an excellent ride home, the blue one is pumping as the Lord intended and Sarah is rapt Love the grips. Met up with Tony and Jeanine for dinner. Only problem with riding 2 up at night on the Daytona's tho is that the headlights tend to blind any vehicles in front, causing two cases of minor road rage on their parts. Just opened her up tho and left them fuming in our wake with their lights on full. Couldn't explain that the lights were actually dipped.

yeah, went there to stuffa round but apparently, water and high speed motorcycles results in busy recovery crew.

[cowboyz]

so you leave yours up there? When you picking that up? Will be good to see the blue beast out and about again.

i know how you feel with the 2-up headlight issue 86

have adjusted mine down but not sure whether they are quite low enough yet

tried out the pyes pa road (SH36) on the way up to Tauranga - that is a definite go next time we're up that way

also SH30 between SH1 and rotovegas - nice quick bit of road, worth a pootle at the same time
