SMC Roadtrip V3

[Squiggles]

Once again, some member bought something, somewhere, but not in Auckland. Queue the trip, this time to Wellington.

But wait, that’s not Wellington!
Did you really expect us to just go there and back?


The adventurers…
<img src="http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/6626/dscf1185iij.jpg"></img>

Professional Passenger, Ice Pixie, the Scootlist & GoldenMane

Size constraints meant Conelius (as seen in "New Bikes" ( http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=74574 ) and "Moar Bikes" ( http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=83871 )) had to sit this one out… so whom to bring? Why not a Spikey Fruit!

The beginning, picking up Pixie

Then night fell….

We checked out an FXR in Whanganui, then got lost leaving…sigh.


Following some mean pasta @ Nasty’s, we headed for the city!

Walking the city we discovered a Student bar… Karaoke night? Sounded like it!

After some epic navigation (read:we didnt get lost) we somehow arrived home for the night. Hot water bottles are teh awesome.

The next day we achieved our objective… the fairings were collected!

[Squiggles]

Size doesnt matter!

Cruising the desert road we decide we cant just go home...
Lets go up there!

Now hungry, one of the team met their demise…

Poor spiky fruit. ☹ (But if anyone knows how you’re supposed to eat one of these… do tell)

One last stop
<img src="http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/6830/dscf1154.jpg"></img>

And home

Summary:
Distance: 1580km
Petrol: $185
Coffees for driver: lost count
What we achieved? Dunno but we avoided study!

[Real_Wolf]

Oh, i'm so disappointed

[Magua]

Epic. Where did you get the Tui pie from? :0 Mangatanoka?
That's one spunky pixie.

[TOTO]

[R6_kid]

Who's the chick with the long blonde hair?

[Ragingrob]

Wicked guys.

LOL - Stephen steals my bike from uni and takes it to his place on Friday arvo as I was um unfit to ride shall we say. Awake at midday Saturday at a some place in Panmure, give Stevo a call:

"Hey buddy wassup where you at?"
"Yo I'm in the car"
"Oh, yeah? True that where ya going?"
"Wellington"
"...Silence... Where's my bike?"
"At mine, parked round back, keys and helmet in my room, help yourself"
"Sweet dude have a fun trip doing whatever the fuck you are!"

Bling for that inspirational study procrastination!
