Hey Guys, that was some ride report and looks like you all had a terrific day out.
What a lot of good pictures, the roads and countryside looks fantastic. Motu sure looks good on that bike of his. Thanks, John.

Nice shots and well ridden

[Riff Raff]

Great shots Dave. Good to see the dirt boys n gals getting a bit of exposure on this site. Keep em coming...

[Motu]

Thanks for the cover shot Dave,it's now my wallpaper,and the other shot of me a little crossed up is my screensaver.Damn good riding on the tractor to keep sight of the chook chasers - I stopped on the Sth Te Aku rd for a leak and you guys went past....but got a little distracted as that Pajero slowed down for a gork,to give him the benifit of a doubt,maybe he thought I had broken down.I thought I'd run you guys down easy - but I didn't even get a sniff of dust until I found the others stopped and waiting for me,and didn't catch you until I found you stopped at SH22.

Do you think Oscar is a trustworthy person now? I'd of liked to see the Buell getting out across the dunes on Oscar's ''no problem'' route.

I'll take that bet!
We got the TDM through there, no sweat.
And the stream was deeper...

[Motu]

Oh....yesterday I thought the dunes were axle deep and the stream a raging torrent....must remember to put the ''clear'' lens in my goggles next time.To someone of BigDaves stature the Buell would feel like my 230 does to me,and street tyres work ok on sand....we shoulda talked him round eh?

Don't be a baby, that Buell woulda gone up there easy...


Hey Dave!

Can I borrow yer bike a minute...?

All relative indeed.

Maybe when it's a bit older for the beach. I don't pillow often, but I'm not ready to salt blast it just yet.

You can ride straight on to the beach from the road at Kariotaki - will do that someday.

Yeah - you can have the tbird as long as you bring it back clean.

[Oscar]

Yeah - you can have the tbird as long as you bring it back clean.

I was thinkin' Buell...but yeah, that'd do...T-Bird up the dune...yes..

Pick a week day - the hoons cut it up on weekends and you have to go out of sight before you find sand that hasn't been churned up by Mummy's Mazda Familia...or KX250s doing wheelstands in the hope that the chicks at the surf club might notice....

Look out for my cuzzie early mornings,she trains her horses down there.
