Short and sweet spring ride

With the busy lives people lead it is often difficult to fit everything in. A fine sunny day after many winters Here is another little wander we went on earlier in the month. It was great to see Dion out and about on his NS400R and also great to have Jamie along on his lovely VFR400. Bruce S was out on the booming Ducati 748R  and Kim brought the H2 out for a spin. Sir Al decided on bringing out an HD Sportster from work for a sampling and Ian on the mighty Vmax and Bruce A on his GS BMW. We had a quick squirt over the Pahiatua Track and along to Ballance and up to Woodville. The Windmill cafe was our chosen destination and a good feed and yarn was had by all. One of the more interesting conversations that took place was when one of Bruce S's mates turned up from Levin on a fairly new Kawasaki Ninja H2. The comparison with Kim's H2 is staggering in all sorts of ways but not in others. Relative to there times they are very much equals, but relative to each other the technological jump is profound. It was then back over the hill via the Saddle Road or back over the track. Home by lunchtime but nice to fit in a ride amongst all the domestic chores before heading back to work on Monday. Brilliant.
