    Highway is all good with me, I was sitting between 100 to 120 & up to 135Km/h (for passing) all the way home from Auckland yesterday on my SR250

    But I really don't care where I ride as long as im riding

    Apparently up Carrington road is a good ride (goes all the way to the coast above the mountain). Also keen as to ride out to the Whangamomona pub. That looks like a fun ride as well.

    Always keen, but shift work and kids can stuff things slightly,so advance warnings and we can see what we can do... Barry (Pritch) and Kev (nadroj) know me well enough, I have selective vision on what I see.. Andre (Demonwolf) and others went out to Whanga a while ago...must be overdue to return?

    Have had to move to Bellblock into a new house as the old one is no good for wheelchairs. However seeing as I come from the area, I'm sure I'll be about. Hows the 250cc coming along?
