[Madguitarist!]

Hey, can I crash the party and come along??

Sure dude, I don't think we have that many who are going ATM so I don't see why not.

Things took a turn for the better, looks as if the TL will be running for that weekend, so providing i keep it intact (which is proving a challenge) and work is all good, i'm in. So i'm guessing you won't be doing the Puke test day on the 26th, i'd rather ride to welly and give a certain Honda rider the learn

Reminder to those coming down.

Slipstreams Inn is open most times for up to 5-6 people.

Failing that, I'm sure the White Trash Manor (*cough* Trailor) might be an option too.

SWEET!! Thats great news man!

I'll try to get things done today and knock off work a bit earlier to change the engine on my micro TL (FXR). If everything works out, I might take that to Welly, failing that. I'll try to borrow something...

I hope this is gunna be one cool road trip!

You're a sucker for punishment, aren't you?

Actually, I don't think the FXR would be too bad for that. Not much point going down via 22, though.

Why's that, is it uncomfertable for long trips?

[Motoracer]

Engine is now in the FXR and she is running, Cheers Aff-man for the hook up!

So is keen to come down to Welly with me? For real.

ATM I only have 1 or 2 maybes...

Also, is anyone keen for a good ride on Sunday the 27th of March through the takas?

If there isn't enough interest, I might just flag this and do Puke track day and go down to welly some other time.

Let me know...

[Riff Raff]

Would love to come, but sadly I'm working.

Did the Takas yesterday! My rear tyre looks much better now!!!

Eeek, I've already blown up one gearbox last Easter, don't want to blow up another. Then there's my Labour weekend speeding ticket curse I have to get rid of as well...

Me, superstitious? Nah!

[Motoracer]

OK, this must be sign telling me to get my shit together for Taupo on the 3rd and just do the track day at Puke instead of making the trip down.

Sorry Jimmy, we'll have to come another time. It'll be boaring as heck to ride down to Welly by myself and back. I was looking at going with about 5 riders But Loosebruce's bike ain't ready, TS want's to do the track day as well, FF has other plans etc etc.

I just did it at the weekend - what's the problem??? I had great fun, and met up with other bikers when refueling etc (amazing the number of bikers I met around the country who came up to me and said "Are you Riff Raff?" - my bike has made me famous). Whilst it's nice to travel in a group - you can have just as much fun riding on your own.

Hey, which route did you take? I'm heading there on Thurs(24th) which means I'll be ALONE!

Just planning my route and trying to get as much scenic riding as possible between here and Welly. Planning an early morning start and arriving just b4 dark in Welly (maybe 6-7ish). Any suggestions???
