Rather than head off on a major excursion I decided to go for just a short ride to get a picture for a thread I've been following on ADVRider. I'd noticed the below wall mural on a trip through Foxton previously but didn't happen to have a bike with me at the time...
On the way in I noticed a couple more murals so had to double back to get them too.
Leaving Foxton I decided to make a loop of my trip rather than simply retracing my steps so I scooted over to Shannon before crossing over through Opiki to home. A massive journey of around 80km...
And yes the helmet got broken in:
A few more pics of Foxton here.
Nice looking murals. People have talent.
ReplyDeleteGood job breaking in that helmet. 80 km was probably far enough. After fighting off the cold it probably felt longer.
It was a nice little pootle - had a bit of a nunny rose when I got home...
DeleteThat top mural is pretty awesome eh, I had to look twice at it the first time I actually thought it was a falling down building.
ReplyDeleteThere's bugs on that there helmet .. yay!! How did it go?
It is cool eh? Someone on ADVRider asked what the chap was doing bending down by the Connie...
DeleteWow, those are murals!
ReplyDeleteHope health has fully returned and that your next ride is more comfortable all the way around.
Thanks Coop - over the cold and looking forward to an Adv ride this weekend...
DeleteThat helmet is looking smart. The graphic is especially attractive. It's so nice though, are you dodging every pebble or bug that come at you?
ReplyDeleteYeah, nah...I want to keep the helmet mint but it's gonna be used so will eventually look used...
DeleteAndrew:
ReplyDeletea new helmet feels so nice. Padding is tight and the visor is clear, no scratches or bugs. If only it would stay that way
I had to squint to see the bugs. Can't get those going the speed limit ! hope you are feeling better
