Last weekend was my last chance to take my bike out before the rego runs out and I put it on hold for the winter. I was going to go through the Turakina valley road, but on finding freshly graded, thick gravel, I decided to give this a miss and divert over Mt Curl and on to Hunterville.
 |
| A quick stop at Turakina. |
 |
| After changing my route , I went past the Marton Reservoirs which I assume supply Marton with its drinking water. |
 |
| Mount Curl being a high point , appears to have all the radio and television masts for the Manawatu/Rangitikei area. |
 |
As I did last time I passed through Hunterville, I decided to eat at Crank's Cafe again, but this time I took my camera in.
There is a lot of interesting motorcycle stuff. |
 |
| ...and a Gnat. This one is Villiers powered, some of them had 4 stroke Hondas. |
 |
| A collection of bicycles. |
 |
A couple from Feilding who was eating there at the same time, rode up on this Triumph Thruxton.
I don't know how it performs, but man it looks good.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I still think motorcycle engines should be a feature of their appearance, not covered by all enclosing fairings. |
 |
| Just as I was about to leave, this fairly new Kenworth K200 passed through, heading north on SH 1. |
