Next Sunday we're heading up to Kaikoura via Waiau (lovely corners) for lunch, and then back home down the coast. We meet at 0845 and ride at 0900.

If you feel like riding something different, we have a 2008 Tiger, a 2006 Sprint 1050, the Street Triple and a Bonney available for test rides. If you contact us at the shop beforehand and let us know what you'd like to have a ride on, we'll make sure your wish is fulfilled.

And there is no obligation or expectation to buy. If you like what you ride we know you'll give your opinion next time the conversation gets on to new Triumphs, and that's cheap advertising.

Hi tmcmkiwi

I'm still waiting to take a 675 daytona out for a demo ride Dave. You got any demo 675's available for me to ride the day and I would be a starter.
Had a nice ride to the Coast and back today. ****ty n cold on our side but the hills were beaut with sunshine. BTW saw a Triumph Legend badly gouged on the RHS and parked up at Arthurs Pass. The engine casings took a hammering and I hope the rider come out of it OK as I saw a WestPac helicopter busy in the area.

Yes it was a great day a bit cold at the start.
Glad it warmed up in the end.

So many corners and gear changers my clutch hand is stuffed and yes a lot of riders and pillions had the dreaded monkey butt at the end of the ride and three of you had a long-ish ride home, bugger. (normally a good thing

)

See you guys at the next one.
