Manawatu weekend rides

[rottiguy]

sure was but man did we have to travel to find some drinkable stuff, still had worked up a thirst by the time we found some of the good beans.
I'll have to do a sheriffs to toughen me ass up for the 1000ker viva la ring

Great day out, great food, and in the end great coffee.
Had an awesome time.

I'm heading out for a ride this afternoon. Not sure where, but I've narrowed it down to North, South or East!

It might be worth while checking out the Manawatu Interclub Ride Sunday, starting at BP Metro at 1:00pm. Because of expected numbers it will be a quiet ride but a good chance to catch up with other riders and bikes. Topic thread

put ya water wings on and include west.

Nah, West really bores me. Done the Himitangi Wines/Sparkey's thing too much over the years! I've since discovered corners and I like!
I went past your place yesterday with right behind me. I found a quiet road to bed in my new pads (squeeky little fuckers), but they do seem better than stock.
I'll head out somewhere today and then my bike will be off to Opunake next weekend for its big service.

Try the Tirakina Valley/Tirakina/Fordell/Hunterville loop sometime Ferris. I'm sure it will be to your liking. Just keep an eye on the sign posts or you could end being obsconded by the Wherethefuckarewe tribe.

Ouch! Anza charge about $800-$900 for this service, but Kerry will be cheaper. Plus I've already done airfilter, plugs and purchased a BMW fuel filter in Oz for $37. Identical Triumph part is over $100 here which is part of that service.

Yeah, did that about a month ago with an old mate. Lot of fun and stopped for a beer in Hunterville!

Nice wee poodle with the CD guys today. It was good to catch up with KiwiKat, Al, Bruce, Milo and as well as a few others I hadn't riden with before. Lots and lots of grey hair. Spotted an imaculate GB400 on the run too.

Popped in to Lances afterwards to say hi. Seemed to be working hard. The couch seems to be evening out quite nicely.

Was really a fantastic day.

and a young lady, obviously of impeccable taste, crossing the road by the cafe was seen pointing at the bird and saying "i like that one best!"

Cheers mate, not expecting any response really but I thought i'd put it out there anyway, Yod only dreamt it up a couple of hours ago.

[yod]

i'll be there

i can't be too late back so will play the destination by ear, can just turn around whenever

should be right for a decent run though

who else is in?
