BTW: friggin primo day out there, just got back from Masterton. Came back via Alfredton, Pahiatua etc and the roads were primo. An absolutely fantastic ride - you should all be jealous!

I reckon...it was absolutely stunning. We did V Hill and back through Halcombe.....top cruisy roads and had great company. Meet some PN bikers at cafe' o la Hunterville too.
Hope it `rains' like today every weekend

Yeah, I almost got the bike out but fell into CBF mode. Did some more tyre changing and got that sorted and then did SFA for rest of day. Bloody hot this arvo.



Wheres that taken from? Looks like bonez doing what bonez does best.

A quiet wee poodle really. First two at the lookout above the Waterford Tav, the bridge is on the Pahongina west road. Had to test the new fork seal for leakage you see.

Any pics or was it another secret ride?

Haha...it was soooo secret even I didn't know I had been on it till I got back....
..that's right..we finished at my place for caffine so I must have gone....or maybe I never left?
I don't know...must have sun stroke from the awesome day!!

I must say the roads on the West side of Taupo (don't know the names), had very little traffic and nice and sweepy, and then the Kaimais?? over to Tauranga are just outstanding. (not a secret ride...last week for my hockey tourney...)- will be keen to do those again....oh and we came second and I only got hit twice and got 4 goals!!

Well done!! Spent most of today tinkering. Lucky I did because I got a visit from a niece (who I don't get to see that often, partner and their wee boy.

Was sweet as, and cheers for showing me some good lines around the corners, if not for your help I might not have been able to get around without getting the learn, after all you are the recognized expert on the subject according to lesser mortals.

I'm still not sure if if I went, the bike is dirty but then again it was dirty the other day to, I would have expected all the rain to clean it if I went for a ride so maybe I didn't go after all
Congrats to at finding someone shorter than you, even though she had built up boots

On that though, Tony is there know way you could make it earlier? It's just that three o'clock is starting to get on a bit mate but i'll PM you my cell# just incase and thanks for the heads up on the road conditions.
