Left the house just after 9am to have a nice leisurely trip up to Waiouru to pick up Louise’s bike. We stopped for a coffee opposite the Route66 on SH1 cafe at Foxton – sorry Fitz, we’ll go back on bikes for a picture, it’s just not the same parked there in a car!

We got up to Waiouru and as I was texting Amelia, she phoned me LOL.

Picked the bike up with no stress and parked up at the petrol station in Waiouru to fill up and take a few piccies.

We stopped a couple of times on the way down to the Kapiti coast, first stop was Mangaweka Hill. The bike was proving to be pretty cool, once it was up to 100 kph, although I quickly decided not to overtake anything unless they were stopped LOL.

The next few stops were quick ones, and it only took 4 1/2 hrs to get back. It was a lovely gentile trip in beautiful weather all the way. However, I’m nadged now!!
