I was off on a brisk run home til someone flashed their lights and i went into pootle mode waiting for mr plod. He never eventuated and Owl decided he'd had enough of my pootling and shot off so we had a good run back to Woodville where he headed off for the saddle road and I went straight through for a cold beer at home

great ride

ahhhh that will be who passed me just before my house on Kelvin Grove Rd this afternoon, OWL on his triple

I figured there was no plod as no one else flashed their lights! I had planned to go through the gorge, but with all the traffic heading that way, I decided Saddle Rd would be much more fun. It was!

Yep that was me! You are easy to spot with that Shift jacket and Daytona.

Tui

we'll never figure it out with the veritable sea of gold daytona 675s riding around the manawatu

a ha ha ha

I have seen another black one and a blue one though... that could get confusing?

I also saw A YOD on an XX Blackbird, or a landcruiser, not sure which, they look so simliar

Did you get my PM about the XP disc?

Looked like a nice route and there were definately a veritable sea of lucky people out on two wheels yesterday

Not convinced I like the pilot road on the front as much as the diablo rosso but who am I to talk tyres

Daytonas don't do disguise don't ya know. They always stand out from the pack

I hope the camo is red/white/ blue you have to become an anglophile now of course

**ynot slow** · 23rd February 2009, 12:16

For ALL them Anglo saxons(northern hemisphere) here our camo is Black and White.

**slydesigns** · 23rd February 2009, 13:56

Black white and grey!

A brave little scorpio did well in some pretty blustery conditions coming back from Danniverke...

Good to see the VTR beast out more often.

Going off topic here, anyone know why al the street lights in town are off?
