Was an early'er start this morning with Kiwi Don arriveing on his New Triumph. Nice bike~! and today was her maiden voyage as it where. Could'nt have picked a better day or a better ride as we left Palmerston North. Headed to Colyton and before feilding we met Barbershop on his Suzuki vulcan 1200 <g> . Then on through Kimbolton, Peep-O-Day and Rangiwahia. This is a brillant ride though farmland with tight testing corners just before you reach for that next gear. Stopped and took a couple of Pics of in-part of the Mangaweka Gorge.
