Bike was in perfect condition, just been serviced. I was been sensible too for a change, then wham-o. Nothing I could have done differently.

Can come out up a bit further than that closer to Taihape. Nice sealed country roads. I'll probably go as far as Taihape and turn east.

i will not be coming. I have buggered a tendon in my foot and it is painful to change gear. Bugger but might have to wait till next weekend or after. Rear brakes are not happy again either after AFC fucked it up so will have to sort that out next week too.

Sorry to hear that Cowboyz, hope you get both problems sorted out soon! I'll turn up at 930 and see who's around. I might have a pillion.

Sounds good Bonez

Nice ride and here's hoping the weather will hold out too

Would love to go for a ride, been living in Palmerston for 5 months and the only “real ride” I’ve done was the last cold kiwi (other than the odd 5 min run to work and back) .
But…. broken fork seal, running on 3 or 4 cylinders and no WOF means I will have to pass, weather looks good toooooo
Need some cash and also need to find a good mechanic

Have fun

Sounds like it might not be a big fix Mumbles, hope you get it sorted soon

I come over to say Hi but not riding. Did I see you on Tremaine out of town on south side on Thurs afternoon? I was in a Nissian ute. It looked like you putting earplugs in or arranging something but by the time it registered I was already gone.

Yep, that was me. I was heading further south and damn earplug came out. Thought I saw a ute passing by now you mention it!

Good to hear Matt

Hope you can make it along, weathers looking reasonable, no rain forecast, maybe some wind later on but nothing too serious, should be fun

Took the dog for a walk, packed me lunch and filled the thermos. Will take the v-twin thing out for a jolly.

Nasty 'n' I plus friend on R100 did Saddle Rd yesterday. It's prolly old hat to you guys but I got a taste for it on Coast-to-Coast and had to take the others up there.

Damn silly place for people to build things though, its too bloody windy.
