I'll come! :grouphug:
I'll just have to start walking early, (only got a race bike).

Watch out for a leather clad hitch hiker on the road out of NP :bye: and whoevers last in the convoy had better stop!

And if you need a sober rider to get one of those 1000s home,, I guess I could make myself avaiable :whistle:

I'll have to get in touch when I make it down that way... sounds like fun!

It won't be this weekend though. Enjoy it for me...

You don;t know anyone out that way with a bit of land or some wild cows on it do you? I've heard there's wild beef roaming those hills from years gone by when the farms went under and the cockies turned their stock loose...?!?

Have fun dude

Well Hooked up with the Guys today for our ride to Whanga .Weather abit crappy to start with making the road alittle scarey at times . I had a couple of slides many though to much HP so road a gear higher then the Torque tryed to break out the back end afew times . Still we all got to the Pub in one piece & not to wet . Sat down to a feed which was pretty good & of course a Beer to wash it down . Talked about usual bike stuff Tyres / handling / etc & the ride out to Pub . Great to meet Soundbeltfarm = Karl with his Tidey 86 GSXR750 & Ned on his TRX850 plus Pritch008 with his Honda 900 Hornet.Neds mate on a VFR800 which I have riden with on some Pie n Pint's before Myself GSXR1000 & Dave a mate with his 03 RSVR Aprilia .
Weather cleared for the ride back drying the ride just enough so we could get some pace out of the road . stopped for a couple of Pics at the Whanga Saddle then went our ways back home . All in all a good ride & great chance to meet some more KB rider's :2thumbsup

Great ride. Got rid of some cobwebs when the road dried out. Turned left at Stratford and did a quick run up the Wiremu Rd to go home round the mountain.

SBF... no I'm not a Norgate. Must have a double somewhere in the Naki.
Cheers
