Thanx for the great night guys . I really enjoyed it. The weather was great on the way up with the qk's. And got home dry also. Thanks to mom for introducing me to everyone. Met a lot of new faces. Thanks heaps. As for the V-Rod - well its a nut shaker thats all i have to say. The zx10 would have been a better choice.
hey everyone, guess what i did today?
Since you can't guess, I'll tell you.. went to WINJA's place with Sayam5.. WINJA got a little boat with a 45hp motor, and we did some laps on the Waikato River, towing a seabiscuitwas mighty fun.. then decided to have a 'look' at the 22, so headed out of Ngaruawahia and followed that through Glen Murray way, until we hit the Raglan turnoff, where I gave 2 american chicks directions (haha they couldn't work out how to get to Huntly....even with a map..)
Travelled down that raglan road off the 22, past the section of gravel road, nice pace, followed up this one left hander at about 90km, and then suddenly it disappeared and transformed into the nicest looking downward perfectly cambered 60ish km/h right hand sweeper.. now remember, i'm thinking it's a 90km left sweeper, and suddenly everything has gone to shit.. GRRRRR well, long story short, hit the brakes, back locked up as soon as it hit the first bit of loose stones/gravel, half into someone's driveway, towards a fence, and literally stopped 10cm from the fence, then fell off to the right of the bike.. I'm fine, except my foot's a tiny bit sore, but should be ok in the morning.. my bike? well.. thanks to people who live in the middle of nowhere, my bike got to lie down on a nice bunch of knee high grass, so only the mirror broke off.. got back up, took some pictures of the road, and the fact that there weren't any 'warning' roadsigns, and then we went on our way (Sayam5 was a bit behind me on his Comet GT250).. rest of the ride was great, and didn't have any of the 'standardish' loss of confidence around cornersSee everyone at Busa_Pete's on Saturday
