Thanks for the pix EJK!!! Nice.

that was fun! cept for the crazy weather..
rain, sun, wind, cloud, rain + mega wind, and the massive cross wind on the way back.. i was half hanging off my bike and still going straight.
it kind of added to the fun though

Thanks EJ, it was fun

SIDE WINDS! Man, some of the time I'm sure I was riding along at a 45% angle to the road, just to stay in a straight line! / (on the way home)
Pretty freakin' scary on a light little bike.

Thats all folks! Thanks for a great turnout. Hope you guys arrived home safely.

The Zeal was alright. It is the most/ best handling bike I've ever rode. Well apart from the dodgy cornering clearance.

Now I'm tired... Gah...

Ah one more photo. The amazing cellphone. It's actually "hands free" believe it or not.

Excellent ride guys.

The corsswinds definately sucked, my ass was kissing the ground just to stay in a straight line! The rain wasn't too good, but hey, any days a good day for a ride! Thanks EJ for organising the ride, and cheers to QKCHK, the busa guy, and that other dude... oh and that other dude on the naked bike for keeping us on track!

I realised half way through the ride that I hadn't checked the oil, tyre pressure, and oiled the chain in bloody ages. Oh well, she survived.

Keen for another!

[BANZAI]

Btw my speedo cable snapped just after Kaiaua and oil was nearly none from check glass when I got back

DO NOT PUSH YOUR GN HARD!!

[Reido]

i took this when i was on my way at freaking 6 am >_<
because of you EJ, i want to get a proper camera.

Thanks to everyone! some good laughs today too.. you still hungry musicman?? (was mm right?) hehe

[EJK]

you still hungry musicman?? hehe

Mmmmmm foooood...

Didn't have any dessert though, would've liked an ice-cream or two but we didn't stop at any scoop ice-cream places, too bad... oh well, off to Pokeno next time!

EDIT: Oops this is actually musicman, EJ's at my house and I forgot to change to my account before making this post, haha.

[Sly_guy]

Cheers everyone for a really good ride today !

I'm bloody knackered now though !

Thanks to EJ for organising, and everyone else for leading, tail ending, directing etc...

Was quite a challenge for me, as the longest single journey I'd done before this was to Albany and back via westgate ! really started to get in to the swing of the cornering on the left right, left right's, some lovely corners out there.

Damn, those winds on the flat bits were interesting... think they sucked the life out of me ! i'm ready for bed !
