We were talking about the amount of shiny tar on the roads at lunch today.
Ive never seen so much of it before and it certainly doesnt inspire me with confidence cornering through it in the dry and it will be really dodgy in the wet.
It was bad enough with the tar "snakes" but at least you could avoid them but these cover the whole road, so take it easy out there Guys and Gals as it will only get worse as the weather warms up.

Hi Harvey,
Were you by any chance heading up towards Howick about lunchtime today ?
I just happened to be pulling out of a driveway and saw what appeared to be a GSA with a yellow rear numberplate heading up the hill.
The rider had what appeared to be a red/gray rallye jacket on and with you saying you had the big UK number plate I presumed it was you.
Hope to meet you at the Toy Run tomorrow.

Glad you got it all sorted out Harvey, with Arne to help you would have been a great help.
Look forward to meeting you on the toy run on Saturday and if you fancy a ride up north on Sunday a few of us are going to Whangarei via the back roads so you are more than welcome to join us.

Hi and welcome Harvey,

Look forward to meeting you at some stage and like Aex says if you can come on the club ride on the 20th November you will meet lots of people who can give you all kinds of advice on rides etc.

Also we have informal rides every weekend so look in the forum for details.

Regards

Jim

Great report Alex, you are making me so jealous, it’s been 6 weeks now since I have been on a ride, 🙁 I only hope I haven’t forgotten how to ride or I won’t be able to keep up with you guys. ❗
