We had a good turnout for our monthly VJMC Blue Haze ride on Sunday with some new bikes and faces along for the ride. Paul Q returned with a really nice Suzuki GT185, Warren Turner arived on a very new looking Jawa TS350 and Stan Turner arrived on his Honda CBX400. Murray turned up with another one of his bikes from his fleet, a Suzuki GT750L. Dion has been very busy applying at least one whole tube of Autosol to his flower power orange Suzuki T500. A shame to see his Honda MVX250 leaving his garage to make way for it. After much discussion we decided on a ride to Foxton via many backroads with a stop off at the Mangahao power station. Don arrived on his immaculate Honda MT250. He was having some carb problems which saw it only making it to Massey. Others on the ride was Bruce on the BMW and looking forward to having his Yamaha RT1 on the road in the next week or so, Paul W on his GPz 750, myself on the KH250, Sir Alan on his A7, Paul D on the bright orange H1b and Kim on his trusty H2. After making our way past Massey and Linton we took some back roads to Shannon finally ending up at the Mangahao power station. They have built a wonderful white water canoing facility amongst the rapids and bush just downstream from the power station. We then made our way across to Foxton only to find most of the cafes closed for Anzac day, but luckily we found one open. After sampling their fluids and fodder we made our way back to Palmerston having completed just over 100kms. A short but enjoyable run.
