Ohhh, yes. Lots of bling. So, I think I've seen the levers before but ... handlebars? (very Tuono, BTW) New pipe?

So where'd you ride today? I just did the Wainui coast road a bit - still a bit damp in patches. Oh, and I had (on Thursday) an astounding midweek/lunchtime blat up piecock hill too

The weather was certainly way too good to not take the bike out although a tad chilly first thing.

Went to the drags at Meremere and watched the guys going for it. Loved the burnouts and admire the speed and skill. Oh and I especially liked seeing the NightRod out there....but I would say that wouldnt I.

Gave it a wash and gave it a ride in the sun, balls shrunk to the size of peas mind. A little slippy of line though eh!! bring on the spring.

Had the pipes and bar for a while now, in fact haven't added new bling for ages but just didn't have any pics done since adding the levers and probably the pinstriping (most of the really expensive bling is under the seat now!!

)
We went for a wee ride around the Pahatanui inlet and Grey's Road where the pics were taken. Beautiful day for it wasn't it! I was thinking of a ride over Piecock, but there were so many cages out and about also that I didn't fancy meeting a road hog around there!
How's that lovely new bike of yours going? Are you finding the white ok to keep clean? Pics please!!!!

There is about as much shame in having pea sized balls as having the tightest nipples known to man...

The weekend warriors are out.
It has been perfectly rideable in the last few weeks. Put your wet weathers on and get out there.

HTFU.

Totally agree did a poker run last weekend and have ridden to work most days, but it was still great to have a clear day for a ride
