Post flight/ride thread.

I managed 492 km so far this weekend beginning on the Friday ride. Accompanied Sarah to Wellie at 7.00 am yesterday morning! Wet and VERY gusty. The Tiger is soooo bloody comfortable though, nothings a problem. Breakfast with Mum, then a quick scoot around town (god, it's a day trip to even get round the bays these days in Wellie, bloody traffic) then Hutt motorway, Haywards, and Piecock Hill. EXTREMELY windy up there but at least I was blown away from the precipice and not over it lol.

Got to Shannon for a quick stop and notice a message from Garry that there's a trip to the Umutoi MC headquarters to check on the battered occupants.

Had a nice run out there (god that road is BRILLIANT) confirmed there were no deaths and that the mightly Daytona will rise again

Followed up with a very relaxed leisuerly cruise back to Ashhurst then home

No riding today though, man, is it wet or what!

yeah echo that windy ride to welly yesterday.. left about 5.30pm and not a bad run down really .. a few cross winds did not seem to worry BB .. over Haywards was fun just on dark with a foggy visor but all good .. stayed nice & dry though so bonus ...

BB is about to get her bling put on, so no more oiling chain & hopefully I might have a fairly dry run home later today .. rain has eased off in welly wood

Sounds like a nice hope it wasn't too bad on the way back? And you won't have to oil the chain tonight! I must get one on the Tiger asap

hmm home via piecock today .. quite a few rocks on corners & quite wet in places but at least it was a pretty dry run home. really good as its hard to spot the bike has a scottoiler on it .. she is hiding pretty good

also got a headlight protector on her now .. and fixed the packrack & handgrip that was loose ..

next will be tires before the 1000k ride and prob oil change .. all good
