After meeting at Manawatu Motorcycles at 9:00am we headed off in the direction of the Pahiatua track and enjoyed a good run over it and through Mangamaire and on to Ekatahuna. From there we made our way back towards Pahiatua around the back way through the Mangaone Valley road. This is an excellent road with not much traffic and some lovely twisties you can enjoy without breaking the speed limit. It pays to look out for the usual rural stock shifting debris from farming activities. After topping up the KH250 and A7 we moved on to the Tui Brewery for light refreshments and food. Whilst waiting outside for our food to arrive our fine tuned two stroke ears heard the unmistakeable sound of a Suzuki RG500 pull up. It was Jenny from Wellington and her mate who had decided on a run up through the Wairarapa for a cup of tea at the brewery. Great catching up. After Dione managed to scrounge a ride on Jennys friends Buell 1125r we made our way northwards to the Saddle road and had a great time going up and for those of us on 250s an even better time going down! Had a bit of fun capturing some video of the lads going up the saddle road. Bikes on the run included Alan on his Kawasaki A7 Avenger, Paul Whiting on the KH250, Kim on the Kawasaki H2a 750, Don on the Yamaha RZ350, Dione on his Honda MVX250 and myself on the Yamaha XJ750.
