nearly got the description right. You missed a few stops in there though.
Lesson of the day:
If many bikes are parked on the side of the road and everyone is pointing to the cafe' across the road.......it means stop,drink,eat

(though I thought they were just waving too

)

A great way to spend the day.

errrr. yep. But then it could have been just another smoke stop too! So the real lesson is everyone should take up smoking and then everyone would stop for a smoke and find out its lunchtime.

Mark & I are parked up in Inglewood and by now Meanie should be in his bed in Stratford. Had a great ride up to Gisborne yesterday, have shot some video on HW50 and on the devils elbow too. FMS!

Today started out drizzly & cold and had wet roads all the way to the Cape. 130 bikes of all sorts at the cape - including a boss hoss v8. Dry roads from the cape back and only incident was a dude crashing a R1150GS right in front of Meanie & I. He had panicked, grabbed some front brakes and tossed her away into a fence. Luckily he was ok and had his 2 sons with him although doubt the beemer is going anywhere.

Really slow through to Rotorua - got stuck behind a cop for a while although Meanie zapped past him ok. Awesome ride through to Bennydale then took in some back roads before hitting awakino gorge, Mt Messenger etc. FMS.

Roast chook for tea at my sisters - FMS.
