Damn Hyosung, just can't keep up. Good to finally put SOME km's on it. Only had 100k's on it when we started!

Sorry for quality of pic - from cellphone. Nice view tho!

Nice to see another rider and new bike doing it. It should loosen up. Horse had one for a bit before he got his hawg. The pic certainly gives an idea of the typical turn out of late.

Failing to stop at stop sign think you may be ok as I got a speeding fine last month in tanker and the demerit points should be quoted on the ticket but I found this link anyways out of the road code http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/roa...-the-line.html

Bonez and I were just talking about how you hadn't been seen for a while on friday rides on friday arvo at work too......we must be psykic us...

Best make the most of the friday night rides mate, daylight saving is all over pretty soon. Good to see the new faces too.

So with the end of DST are we then launching the "Friday Morning Rides"?!

**86GSXR** · 16th March 2009, 14:59

How's about Saddle, Oringi(Sarge in lead so we don't get lost), left onto Hopeland rd, hang right out over the bridge to the Brewery. Natter at Dudley Arms(alternately The Black Stump). Pahiatua, long way around to Balance then home.

Sounds like a plan.

The Diablo is no where near as sticky as even the worn down SC Pro but after 3 HUGE almost highsides and one monster tank slapper all in the space of 2 kms, I'll take it as a lesson learnt in riding a little calmer and with a little more throttle finesse. I'm no church goer, not anymore BUT I am superstitious (I race after all - goes with the territory) and I think I just got the back of my head slapped by what ever is watching over me with amusement. Each of those incidents should have ended in the weeds and/or A&E, to make it though 4 is a gift.

So... tires been changed, undies been removed from my butt, brains been rebooted.

Nothing like a little reminder of how mortal we really are ah?
