Had the best ride I've had in years today, was out for about 8 hours, my self and a couple of buddies on their 4t's.
You know those rare days on your favourite stretch of twisties, no cars to slow you down, the road's yours. You're pushing yourself to your limit and you're in a rhythm. Awesome.
Cumberland Junction at the top of the Reefton Spur.
The Reefton Spur road would be one of the best m/c roads in Oz - but heavily patrolled unfortunately.

& matty, if you couldn't gap a hog-style cruiser, a fat greaser Guzzi, on your well up-specced RZ,
then I guess the Guzzi rider is a real hot-shot.. so, did you swap bikes, & try again?
Yep, Guzzi rider is a lot better than me.
No licence burning yet Ozzy.
Just looked it up and yep someone has counted them, the Reefton spur has 185 bends in 19 K's.
Sorry to hear about the breakdown Jeff, you put carbs back on the 500? Yes?
