What a fantastic day for a motorcycle ride through the countryside! Our May end-of-month ride saw an excellent turnout of riders, with a great number of classics amongst them. A healthy two-thirds of the riders were classics, and an interesting statistic was that half of them were smokers! Warren had us sorted for a destination, and as always, he had an interesting way of getting us there.
We headed out of town and headed towards Feilding via Colyton. Then, we took Makino Rd and Lethbridge St, before turning left at Halcombe. Some riders took the long way and continued on to State Highway One, coming back through Bulls to our final destination at the Woolshed Cafe. The place was busy as usual with some excellent food, drink and company.
It was great to see Barry on his Suzuki GT 550, and one of his sons on his Yamaha RZ 250. Another friend was on his Trumpet triple, and Ray was out on his Triumph Bonneville. Warren had his Suzuki GSXR 1100 out for a spin, as did Max on his immaculate Yamaha FZR 750. Roger was on his little Moto Guzzi 500, and Steven was on his Cagiva Raptor 1000. Ian came over from Whanganui to join us on his Suzuki VStrom 650. Kim and Dion brought their Honda 250 NSRs along for an outing, and Sir Al brought the granddaddy bike for the day, his Kawasaki H2 750 in all its glorious bling. Kenny was on his BMW 1250, and yours truly was on the Suzuki GSR 750.
Let’s hope that next month’s ride has the weather gods’ smile on us again!
