    Yep!!

    Sometimes, like yesterday there will be a split - some went to Paeroa, some went on there own tiki tour. Will probably be the same next week with some wanting to do the ulysses toy run and some not.

    Sort of discuss the ride for the weekend on the wednesday night at Te Rapa tavern over the $7 burger and pint (beer/orange or coke) special

    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.

    Would love to join you guys on Wednesdays but; I play tennis Tuesdays and Thursdays after work, so have to balance the responsibility of being dad on other nights

    Always good to come back from a ride upright and with a grin on your face

    Yeah man, thats how i went, scared and loving it to comfortable and loving it. I have had a couple of points where the little voice in the back of my head says "your driving beyond your limits, chill out" so i have been more and more careful as time goes on.

    Is the little lady getting jealous of the attention to the bike yet?

    Yeah, there is no need to worrie about the "Faster" you'll get faster without thinking about it..

    And more fun it will be!
    But rather than be intimidated by it you should just enjoy it (with respect for the power). Ride within your limits and there is nothing to worry about, concentrate on your entry and through corner speed / smoothness first, once you've got that sorted you will find yourself winding the gas on through and out of the corners with comfort and confidence, providing you stay within you limits the faster part will come naturally as you progress.

    I cant often make it out with you lot on sundays but good to see the rides are still going strong.
