    Interesting ride today.
    About 50 bikes, old and new.
    Went to Waimarama, but lots of traffic, so slow going. Came back to the Classic Club clubrooms, very nice in the country, yakked to folk I knew, bar and food provided.

    Only bad thing on the way back a bbq fell off a ute in the hills just out of Waimarama and a guy on a Vrod ploughed into it.
    Think he was hurt, came around corner just after it happened.
    Ouch! Sounded & looked like every bike in HB was out yesterday when they went past my place. Ah well, at least I'm a day closer to being finished, will be up for it next weekend, another noisy sports bike to piss off the classics!

    Too many bikes going too slowly, then noisy sports bikes passing the queue.

    Too dangerous (eg. the poor V-Rod dude) and boring.

    Am not into large processional groups so split off at the Waimarama turnoff, rode to Patangata for a cold beer or two.

    Would be great if I had a classic, mind... so no disrespect to the Classic Club.
    Yeah was a bit dangerous when all the front bikes were slow and bikes ended up grouping up. Two much difference in speed between some bikes.
    I think I ended up passing most purely because it was just too slow. I got into first gear at one point!
    But a day out none the less.

    From my point of view a small group of up to 10 with riders of the same speed and ability is where its at!!!!

    Great ride today to Palmy.
    Dale & TonyW were going to Wairoa but a change of plan saw them pick me up and we headed to Palmy to the Bikes Unleashed expo.

    Tony led us the back way to Danne via Takapau/Ormondville and some other hick towns, then a back way right up to the windmills behind Ashurst, thru Ashurst and onto Palmy.

    The bike thingy was very good, very professional, some real classics. Pick for me was Ivan Mauger's bike, immaculate.

    Had a good ride home, hit HW50 and gave it a bit of a nudge, cept for some fuckwit dropping lumps of timber off his trailer causing us following to nearly crash. On the brakes, bikes, cars swerving braking hard. I ran over a 4''2 timber, and dunno how a guy on a compressor right behind the trailer never came off.

    Dale showed me how to ride his VTR motoX style earlier good save dude.

    No bacon around, a good day.

    Mmmm yes, I had ALMOST forgoten about that little incident. To busy warning you about the loose metal and rock on the road that I forgot to brake and turn the corner myself Kept the bike pointing the right way up tho lol.

    Was a great ride and as Dooly said, great display of bikes. Was nice to catch up with Tony W and as it turns out, we lived behind each other for a few years back in a former life. Thanks for showing us the back roads Tony, buggered if i would be able to remember the track you took us down to Ashurst. You really love the corners on that BMW of yours!
