A Wander with Wazza

Last Sunday saw a good turnout on for our April Blue Haze VJMC end of month ride. Although the weather forecast didn't look promising, the front blew through overnight and apart from a light shower at the beginning of the ride, it was precipitation free. With eleven motorcycles lining up at Andrew Young Street, it was a good turnout, and there certainly were some interesting bikes in the line up. Great to see Michael along for another ride on his RD400, with Dion on the RG400, Kim on his NSR 250 and Warren on his GT380 rounding out the two stroke contingent. JB had his immaculate RE5 out for a spin and the Italians were well represented with Paul on his Moto Guzzi 1000 Le Mans and Bruce on his radical looking MV Augusta 1090 Brutale. Sir Al turned up on his recently acquired Honda XL650V Transalp, Ian on his 650WR, Rich on his 650 Vstrom and yours truely on the XJ750. Warren took the lead for this run with a destination out to the west settled on. After departing the the city via Gillespies Line, Warren soon had us straight lining and bend swinging through a variety of back roads that eventually had us parked up outside the Bulls Bakery and Cafe. We were lucky enough to find parks right outside as Bulls is certainly a busy town with the merging of State Highways 1 and 3. After a good natter and a quick tie down repair on the mudguard of the MV, people headed off home in different directions, with the largest group making there way back to Palmy via Kakariki and Mount Biggs. Fingers crossed for similar conditions for next next months EoMR!
