Manawatu Friday Night Ride. (Be there or be in the square).

[NZsarge]

There was some annoying trafic about, but 1400 cc's dealt to that from where I was sitting

Yep, I have some nice new 'bling' on my helmet now, don't mind in the least tho , adds character

Yeah it's a bit gutting when the shiney new lid gets it's first war wound but it's part of the deal I guess..
What's the weather like over there? Might have a shower and head over.

Weather's good right now, sunny and warm with a bit of a gusty norwester, all good!

Saw you at you rlocal this morning... Nice coffee was it?? lol

[Bonez]

great too see the CBX's out too

Yip. Damn hard to keep those old ponies in the stable ah? Kerrys street fightered ZX10R looked the bizzo too.

[cowboyz]

Decided on the short route while the hard core's took the long way and had a brilliant squirt through Halcombe road where Sarge impressed with his new warp drive Following close behind Cowboyz is always good fun and this time, just for good measure he threw out some schrapnel to make things interesting. Was like riding through a meteorite shower for awhile
:

Had a bit of a caucious time on the way to V hill. I had that eerie feeling Mr police would show up but they didnt. By the time we hit the twisties it was time to play and had the ZX10 in hot pursuit. That was fun. Good to see 3 Kwakas make the top of the hill. Struggled with failing light on Halcombe hill like I do but still a fun ride back to feilding. Love getting passed by the ZX14. Could do that all day.

Sorry about the stones in all, Just gives you another reason to pass me huh? Not that you actually need one.

Get some HID's Lance... and get a perm.


Get a perm dog...

Get a perm.

Been looking for a light for you but there are a few odd ball versions of the ZX9 in the states. Also on a brighter note, not all US bikes had righthand dipping lights. My 675 is neutral, its dips straight ahead, neither left nor right, according to the parts catalogue.

[Bonez]

My 675 is neutral,.

So it swings both ways then?

[slydesigns]

na.. it just sits on the fence and watches

Good place to be untill a cx500 or zx10 runs into it

I surpose you are going to come up with some kind of excuse about being 2000km away or something.

Plan to do the chopper route with a stop at black stump or mangatinoka.

That was a great fang through there. Not all all worried about the stones, gee not your fault. I quite like the 'war wound' look actually. Thanks though

Very good ride that one - great suggestion before putting the ride to bed again for another few months

Cant have been that many stones. I got small pockets in my leathers and could only throw them between getting round the corners.
