more mint riding today.

Bonez,Fasttrax and her son turned up at home.
In true Ashhurst fashion we left late, Bobbie on Norman, Fasttrax on the scropio, Bonez on the Bonezmobile and Fasttrax's son on the back of the 9. His first time being pillion I thought I better be a little bit nice to him as I was unsure how he would react to being on the back of the bike. Took a few ks and he sorted out how to sit comfortably and we called into Pie-A-2-A to meet up with NZSarge before heading out to Pongaroa.
Tradition was held as we took a detour from the planned route and made our way to Pongaroa. Roads were really nice and pace was suited to a nice afternoon in the sun.
Had some lunch and decided to skip wimbilton and head out to Weber.
Took Great Greta rd? as another detour which was very pleasent in to Dannivegas for more smoke stops before heading home for movies and dinner. Nice day out. Cheers to NZSarge, fasttrax, Bonez and of course Mrs C.
PS. Can see Josh getting a bike in the near future. He was quite taken with the 9.....

Pics coming. Got quite a few on the move which come out quite good.

Brian saw you mob out and about somewhere over there - he had been to Akitea. Worked this morning so hoping to get out tomorrow.

[cowboyz]

saw 2 connies out today. One was leaving pongaroa as we were getting there and the other showed up while we were talking shit having lunch. The one at lunch had plenty of aftermarket gear which was good. Also had PR2 on it and rear had 7000k on it and still looked good. looks like the new tyre of choice for the big bikes.

Oscarnz muted she might be keen for a ride monday. One of us is gonna have to dream something up I think.

Umm.. Rimutaka's perhaps but I won't be doing the Akatarawa's, dunno if I myself am up for a ride quite that big but we'll see, if the ride does head that way what about Paekakariki look out for a photo op if it's not too busy...

You guys know better than me, just a thought provoker really, as you guys know, Ashhurst rides can end up any where, so it's best to not have a concrete plan ...... aye

if yesterday is anything to go by I would give that general area a big miss, we came back over taka's yesterday .. all good but run up s h 1 all of the passing lanes are coned off and it was pretty much a static 80 ks til well after waikane (the cones are all sitting beside the passing lanes heading south ready for monday)

also normally on the monday traffic trying to get back to welly backs up as far as levin (did last yr)

could be a better plan to stick to the back roads tomorrow
