Rub,rub,rub it in I'm with Horse envious of the scenery,but seeing the aches from tigger rider after the finish was fun.We complain about the heat,but it is better than riding 1600km in rain,still envious and be good to do east cape leisurely.

Met up with Sly and his new bike at Feilding and went for a run out through Apiti to Totara Reserve to check out the improvements at Camp Rangi Woods. (Awesome spot for an end of summer get together

/ BBQ / swim).

Had a nice wee run up through Kimbolton where Sly offered me the use of the Triumph. Just a short run with my head below my bum height going down hill and through a swarm of hundreds of bees or such. (attracted to bright colour). A very firm and responsive ride in stark contrast to the cruisy Kat. Very torquey motor. I got my own ride back and we alternated following each other to Camp Rangi Woods. Just as we pulled up we met Freshtracks on the Scorpio just leaving. She said she only had togs on under the clobber, but maybe not.

Campsite is looking mint but the Totara Reserve side is looking sad.

We headed back to Palmy together encountering lots of loose metal and a right noddy in a Terrano who decided he would accelerate as Freshtracks went to overtake and pull alongside then kept pace with her as the Scorpio slowly inched past on the 2km straight.

A nice run. Gutsy riding Freshtracks.

Awesome bike Slydesigns.

Looking forward to seeing the refinements.

pity I missed seeing it today. I was looking forward to that too! I was over at manfield at the nationals where the big boys put on a hell of a show.

Friday then....?

Nice bike Sly, must be great to finally get a ride on it...

You know, I've been hanging out for this thing to arrive and today was the first time since before me and Mellissa broke up that I've actually smiled and really enjoyed myself!

It may just have to become the new girlfriend for awhile I think, its going to be a hard act to beat!!
