    Taranaki ride, Sat 22 Sept 07

    Need to go pick up my girl and feel like a decent ride. Time frame means a fairly direct route there but we pretty much did this trip in May and fun was had by all. Speeds will be set by the group on the day but expect to be closer to 120km.hr cruising than 100 or 200.

    Leave at about 830am and home when we finish riding.

    Nice little map.

    Leaving from Ashhurst? and going which way? From your post sounds like you guys are heading north to Taranaki?


    Im in New Plymouth, could be keen as to meet up & join the ride
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    It's tempting for sure as Wanga's is as far over west i've been, doing a two day ride with a mate up the east cost very soon so if they don't clash i'll probably be keen to see more of that side of the country.

    Hiya all, I am back at last

    Had a short and very sweet blast on a very clean and shiny daytona shortly after I got back to PN, that put a huge smile on my face.

    Ali mentioned the ride, I think we are both up for it. Honda probably not unloaded until the following week unfortunately

    Either I will be a lazy scenic pillion or may bring a GSXR (he is keeping firm grip on Daytona keys now!!) we are busy planning as many rides as possible

    Really glad you are keeping warm now will have to get a pic of the togs
    :

    Did invest in a bottle or two in duty free and will look forward when we can all catch up again
