Now I know you guys will all enjoy this one. It's a bit of a strange post this week, because 1/2 the images from the last blog disappeared while I was putting it together and then they popped up here! Never mind I am sure you will enjoy the post. Summer is on the way and rides are being arranged, which is good. We've got a slightly different ride coming up, in that some of the time will be spent out on a launch, doing some fishing and drinking, before a long day ride back to the same point for our quiz night. So looking forward to that. Unfortunately for me, it happens at the exact same time my Oncologist friend Wes is back in the country on a fishing expedition down south which I would have loved to have gone on. Helicopters up into the hills for a few nights and then some travel to some other rivers in the Nelson area, and then back up to Taupo for a few days on the boat . Don't know what to do, decisions decisions. Sold my Multistrada last week and bought another one. This on covered in carbon and Ohlins with luggage, so am looking forward to getting that out on the road. It's in having belts and valves done so I will let you know how it goes when I've had time to evaluate it. Heading off to the Auckland bike show next week, the owner of the Sport I did has entered it, so if you're going keep an eye out for it. I'll be floating around so it will be good to catch up with friends both old and new. So that's all for now, enjoy the blog and catch up with you all later.

They obviously got hot.

My 360 Woody, what a weapon this was. fast all day and then some. Would like to know where its at.

Swapped the car for a brand new Boldor Honda 900. When I finally got off of it, I thought it was the fastest bike I had ever ridden. That impression was soon to change. But it was lovely to ride. You didn't even know you had a pillion

This is what happens when you come back from Washington, you find a helmet in a new toilet.

Interesting fact about this image. This is located at the most uninhabited place on earth. At this point on the planet you are closer to the people in the Space Station than anyone else in the world.

Good road food can not be taken lightly. Every self respecting motorcyclist knows this.

We all hooned around in these back in our younger days, love the lotus paint scheme on it.
