Awesome Weekend

4604218 Well, The long weekend is drawing to an end. Had an awesome weekend too. Mum and Dad came down from Auckland on their Suzuki Boulevard C90T.

Got to go out on a ride with dad on Sunday, Just out of Foxton we hit some really high winds, which in turn made it really hard to lean the bike around corner. No matter how hard we tired to lean, the wind just stood us back up. Added a whole new element to the riding experience for me that’s for sure. Leaning a cruiser over while we’re still up right was kind of interesting.

Our cruise south didn’t last as long as I had hoped. It got really bloody cold and my poor toes started to freeze. So we exit staged back through Shannon to Palmy. Had a bit of  a ticky tour around palmy and headed home. Dad asked if I wanted to find an empty carpark to have a go with the C90T, but seeing as it’s a 1500 and reasonably heavy I opted not to take him up on the offer (maybe when I have my Fuil Licence Dad. :) ) Seeing I only have my learners and don’t yet have road experience. I don’t feel comfortable riding dad’s big 1500 yet.. One day

Went and had a quick look at Anza at the Hyosung Aquila GV250. Nice looking piece of machinery, but Anza is over priced compared to other places around NZ for the same bike. Hopefully I can get in some test rides over the next few weeks to see what I like the feel of on the road.

Anyway, I hope everyone had an awesome long weekend. Time to go sit down with my glass of wine and relax. Before the working week starts again. :)

VL1500 C90T Boulevard I just thought I’d share this with you. My parents went to the Suzuki Boulevard Rally last month. Dad has done a bit of a write up on the 12 days they spent touring NZ on their C90T

If you’re into cruiser style motor cycles or enjoy touring I think you’ll find it a good read.
