Mate said it was a good idea doing Puke first, if I'd done HD then Puke I'd have been let down, where as I had a ball the other day.

Sunday ride sounds like fun, providing there's no rain I'll pop out

Whats the new bike going to be?

A few of us are doing a short ride on Sunday. Leaving Kingsgate Hotel 10amish heading out past mystery creek over the dam through the Hobbiton road and to Okoroire for coffe. Way back probably old taupo road. Not a long trip and back in time to get a leaner at the Te Rapa and watch Bathhurst from 2ish onwards.

will put in the calendar. Register if turning up so we wait for you!

I'll see what the guts is closer to the day. If time allows I will truck along. Don't hang about waiting though if I am not there when it's time to go - anything is possible this weekend.

Me, I wouldn't touch Pukky with a barge pole only cause I've never liked the place. That's why I hit Taupo as my first track. Manfield is meant to be bloody cool as well (well that's why the father-in-law says anyway).

Cool that you enjoyed it though. That's the main thing.

Probably a CBR GSXR or R 600cc 4 banger. I'm going to ignore my licensing laws for 6 months

Yeah Puke is shit, I wont be hurrying back there, the bumps on the first corner are quite a test of balls. I managed to go round there tapped out in 5th a few times. But yeah, really want something with a bit more grunts.

Nice wee ride 8 bikes (and 1 car) did the trip. Good to see Don make it along and welcome to Adam (dori) and Peter for his first ride with some of the group. Nice little pootle, good coffee and lots of interesting bikes at Okoroire. Quick trip back and a few of us watched Bathurst at the te Rapa for a while.

Roll on the next fine Sunday and still looking at SH22 to Port Waikato or the lighthouse trip.

Good you lot had a nice little ride. My ride down to the 'naki was pretty good. Wifey decided to up the pace through the gorge in the car so we had a little carve session while I was following her. And then we hit Mt Messenger!!!!!!

Holy shit that has got to be the worse piece of "road" I've ever travelling on in NZ. It was always a bit cut up but they were pretty good at maintaining it. Now...on one particular corner I was actually bounced across to the other side of the road. I did have a giggle as that though.

Ride back after The Great Race last night was rubbish too, only because of the weather being that annoying half-assed drizzle.

I'm hoping to finally pop out for a ride wit chu fallas next w/e. Of course, I haven't been told if we have any plans that have been booked for weeks so here's hoping the weather and that doesn't change.
