    Tag o rama

    Don't think there is one for Hawkes Bay, so if you are keen to play, here goes:

    Rules are easy...

    #1 - Find the tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.

    #2 - Take the tag to a new location(location to remain in "host area"), get the photo and post it here. Give a few hints so the next person can figure out where the tag is located. Try to place the tags in interesting locations, maybe a bit of history that can be found down some nice twisties.

    #3 - Tag must be a) findable and b) may be placed on a dirt road if a street bike can make it. Maintained gravel is OK, but make sure to let folks know that gravel is required to get to your tag. We don't want to exclude those who don't like to get dirty.

    #4 - File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.

    #5 - Your bike has to be in the TAG picture


    Here's the first picture for HB

    Cheers for posting this Crazyhorse

    I had an awesome ride out along the 50 to the Sawyers Arms Hotel and Cafe early this morning.

    Hooked onto a rabbit just after the Chook n Filly who set sail at a tad over warp 1.2 running interference and swept the road clean for me all the way through to the destination....
    Who said cagers dont have there uses?

    The breeze is picking up and is quite strong in places... had me over the wrong side of the chalk on a couple of occasions. Guess that'll teach me for riding slower than the wind

    I'll post another tag this afternoon... gotta getsome Honey Do's completed or I might not be getting any further leave this week.

    Cheers

    An awesome road to ride... dont believe there is a straight section anywhere on it. Had the bullys footbords scraping several times.

    Watch the corners as they tend to close down on you more than you think.

    Road is sealed and in good condition all the way to the location except for the last 50 meters which is a flat grass track easily negotiated.

    Take a Picnic.

    And have fun.

    Location Hint:

    Maori: Mohi Ngahere.

    or for the more technicaly connected.

    S39 51.295
    E176 53.604

    Cheers
    P38s.

    Thanks for that - am back at work now, so riding will need to be weekends again, unless Todd knows where it is, and he can scoot out to take a pic, but I'm unable too. Problem is, hardly ever take camera with me............... I'll work on it

    Tag #3

    *After reading the rules n regs of Tag o Rama - was too late to go out & find another spot, hopefully Im forgiven as theres not that many twisters to get to this area,will def make the next one harder if lucky enough to participate & find*

    Im counting on the scenery to compensate

    Location hint:

    1. Place name - in English means `Hills of Good Health`

    2. Make a wish ... just dont look in!

    - No gravel , apart from the odd road works (minimal)

    - All roads are sealed. Nice ride for cruisers.

    - Enjoy the ride

    Nice one Ypawa.

    Good Effort.

    Glad you enjoyed the ride.

    I was begining to think I'd have to post a pic of the C50T outside the local Cafe.

    My old man was on the Rabbit Board for the Waimarama area in the 60's and 70's.... used to go out with him on heaps of night shoots all over this area.

    One night we shot a 45 pound eel that was over 6 feet long. He was just below the falls on the Mareatotra stream. We smoked him up and had eel sandwiches for school for ages after that.

    Mohi Bush is an awesome place for a picnic and a walk...... awesome road to ride too.
