Went for a cruise today with my girlfriends dad and a group of about 20 or so riders. Approximately 270km all up, starting out west in Massey, heading down to the Autobahn at Drury where we met up with the rest of the group, then went up through Hunua and Clevedon, and followed the coastal road right to Kaiaua where we had a bit of lunch and talked shit. After lunch, one of the guys had invited us all over to his place in Tuakau for a cold drink and to talk some more shit. The after a bit of a rest, the group slowly dispatched and myself and my partners dad made our way home. Was an absolutely awesome ride, longest I've done so far and definitely looking forward to the next one. Only unfortunate thing that happened was just after leaving Drury and before we got to Hunua, some dude, about the same age as me(22) on a brand new Royal Enfield that he purchased just over a week ago, hadn't taken off the silicone on his tyres and ended up highsiding around a corner after trying to correct the rear wheel slipping out. Luckily though he had very minor injuries and the bike somehow came out nearly unscathed, with only the left foot peg and shifter coming off and a bit of scraping on the handle bars.TL;DR Went for a MEEEEAAAANNNN cruise today

Has anyone here got any thoughts on 1tonne when it comes to gear?
Why it is none other than an XT racing 8 channel GPX pro data logger supplied by none other than Race Supplies at the price of a small kingdom. No, it's not actually that expensive for what it does. Very handy tool.

The loggers are either 4 or 8 channels.I am not using all the channels yet but will in the future, (i figured its better to have more channels and not use them than not have enough). So far, RPM, TPS, Brake, Water temp and countershaft speed. (it logs GPS, speed, and g force by default). In the future I will prob get suspension probes.
