Two nameless folk recently bought new (well, for a relative value of "new") bikes, one in Whakatane, and the other in Taupo.
One has a car.
The other has [access to] a trailer.
Combine the two, and you have a roadtrip!
The brains behind the trip.
Our beloved leader, looking pretty much the same as when we picked up his sorry little hungover arse.
Conelius gives his approval.
We "acquire" one of the bikes. If some pitchfork-weilding people turn up at the next Chiller, you know nothing, k?
We stop [again] for Squiggles to unload some of last night/this morning's beer.
Also to admire the insanely sexy beast of a machine that is powering this roadtrip. Current 0-100 time is 85 seconds.
Note that anyone who wants to pass this most considerately-parked car is well fooked.
Where the fuck did he come from?
Taupo! Great city of... errr, great town of... err...
Taupo!
We picked up another stray. That's about all you can say.
The oldies at the races were chuckling at us being so anal with the tiedowns.
We still managed to snap one on the way back. Note to self: Handbrakes and trailers should never be combined whilst moving.
0-100 time is now 145 seconds, with the aid of a downhill slope from 60kph onwards.
Signs of life?

Fookin' neowww!
<40km/h at the bottom of the Harbour Bridge? Aw snap.
Another? Where the hang do these people appear from?
Methinks this car needs to be cleaned out more often.
I wonder if I can trade the guy on the left in for a refund? Well what can you expect - he doesn't have a motorsickle.
