[cowboyz]

So blame banditrider and meanie for getting my interest up in the TT2000 cruising round the south island I thought I better sign up.

I get this email back from the organisers..


Hi Lance

Thanks very much for your entry - what is it with you guys from Ashhurst? You have more entries than Wellington. Like your biking up there I see!

Best regards.......... Mike

Must be your idea of center of the universe being true perhaps.Or just plain crazy people doing these events,sounds tiresome but good to do.

[Meanie]

Three of us from the centre of the universe signed up now Gotta be good

[ynot slow]

On a per capita thats more than Auckland.

Lucky buggers.

So what is the population of Ashurst? So far we have 2 going from Alexandra out of a population of 4500.

FWIW 2000-3000 acc. to a trucker mate who lives nearby.

when doing the concensus we only counted the people that matter so the population of ashhurst is 4.

Would love to, but am heading to Bahrain in a month for a couple of years holiday while the good Lady earns some good coin.

BTW - You were spotted passing thru my territory (Owhanga) a couple of months back........

Nice..... Sounds like you fell on your feet with your lady
Guess the red Connie is a little hard to hide, hope i was behaving myself.
Have a great holiday mate, don't put too much weight on while basking in the sun or you'll need a Gold wing when you get back :rofl:

[dogsnbikes]

you do live in high hope:devil2:

[banditrider]

I know, but I try to live in hope...

[Highlander]

There is always hope - no matter how faint or misguided, there is always hope.

TT2000 is definately on my "To Do" list. Might not be 2010, 2011 I have the Southern Cross pencilled in, 2012 perhaps!!

Dum dur de dum dum dum......

Ha, Duelling Banjos - apparently easier to play if "The Good Lord done blessed me with three thumbs"
Heard that done on Bag pipes once (Yup - duelling bag pipes) that was pretty cool.

Dont forget the four points

[Gremlin]

Dont forget the four points
Who what?

Hopefully I'll be able to skive off from my JOB (attn Ashurst: This is something you have to do 5 days of the week, sometimes doing in excess of 60 hours a week :Pokey:) and represent Auckland next year...

Couldn't do this year as my bike was in the shop... being repaired :doh:

Highlander: pah, I fancy doing the SCRR AND TT2000 in 2011... going to be a good year :rolleyes:

[cowboyz]

JOB


:

What is this?

[NZsarge]

Dont forget the four points

This is more me I reckon, all things being good at the time i'll line up for that.

[KoroJ]

Dum dur de dum dum dum......

No...I think that's the guitar part. I'm sure the banjo part goes.....deedle ee de de de de de de!



I managed the Mini's Return, GC & C1KC last year and I'm in for the SCRR, GC & C1KC this year....every year is a good year........unless of course you're stuck in Bahrain having to endure 40degrees and sand everywhere it shouldn't be.
(Remember me please Shafty while your doing your hard time and if it gets too rough to endure you can always shout me over share your burden)

[Highlander]

I wish. That would be a good year. :clap:

Unfortunately feeding a mortgage and three teenagers the money runs short well before the enthusiasm for rides like these. :(

[Gremlin]

What is this?
Yeah... I did try explaining it... but you obviously have no clue (some of us would love that ability :clap:)

Was drooling over the TT2000 website last night, looking at the 2010 route. Pointed at almost every flyer on Saturday thinking, yeah, I wanna do that road, and that, and that.... dammit!

Karamea, Takaka etc, argh, what a beautiful choice of roads! :first:

Just did my bookings for GC this year, and reasonably certain I will see you fellow crazies for the TT2000... (on a supermoto :devil2:)

[Jantar]

I figured that doing all the flyers is just about out of the qustion, so I'll just pick 4 for each day. The Coleridge one is a must as its already on the shortest route from the West Coast to Methven.

[Gremlin]

I'm waiting for the points to be assigned to flyers, and the points needed for the awards... then weigh up my options.

First timer, I may just aim for bronze. Denniston is a good detour, already ridden there on the trip with gijoe. Great roads.
