Test ride
Saturday 18th Jan
The scoot got a little TLC on Thursday, so I decided to take it for a spin this morning to see how it’s running. Honestly, it feels just as quirky as ever! 😂 I cruised around for about 50km in the stunning Hawke’s Bay, soaking in all the beautiful sights. 🌳🏞️
Later, my mate Guru hit me up, saying he was heading out on his Indian and invited me to tag along for some handy tips. 🏍️💨 We zipped over to the Patangata pub for a well-deserved refreshment before making our way back home. 🍻 Huge shoutout to Guru for being so patient and sharing his wisdom—I truly appreciate it! 🙌
While on the thank yous another shoutout to the Chief of our Tupore Trekkers team, Rowan! 🎉🚴♂️ He arranged for the 7 of us to go out on a group ride last weekend. It's such a different vibe riding together than solo! 🌟 He had some hair-raising moments being the sweep of the group, but he shared some handy tips and tricks with us all! 🤪💨 Thank you Rowan. I think you might have extra grey hair now.
All in all, my behind has racked up a solid 130km today, and boy, am I feeling it! 😅 This 330km challenge is going to be quite the test for my backside! I think I’ll be investing in a sheepskin seat cover to cushion the ride. 🐑
I’m starting to understand the allure of motorcycle breakfast runs. 🌅 There’s something magical about the quiet and the sheer fun of it all! Not sure I’m ready to tackle more than 50km/h just yet—my nerves might not handle it! 😂 I think I’m beginning to enjoy the scooter life. The wind played nice today, so there was significantly less helmet-screaming about being whisked away! 😜
Attached are some snapshots of the gorgeous scenery around Hawke’s Bay. 📸 And guess what? The challenge is just six weeks away!! ⏳🌟
