I don't know about you guys but this summer has been a real bikefest for me. I've been riding for nearly 20 yrs (OMG!) and the past year or so has been the most intensive riding that I have done. Combine that with the fact that I have really enjoyed it more through KB and I think it is worth throwing a party in celebration. First in celebration of good summer (although it started wet), second in celebration that we are all still alive, third in celebration of Kiwi Biker which serves to unite riders accross NZ for the purpose of riding and talking about our favourite thing.... bikes.

I propose a party at my new place in Albany either this Saturday or the one after to celebrate the above. I live in Albany on a rural spot, have plenty of room, and privacy. SO what I want to know to start off is are u up for it and what do you prefer this Sat i.e.10th or the following the 17th?

Style for the get together is very informal, BBQ, and booze lots of...please sleep over if you want. :drinknsin

So to confirm the day is Saturday the 16th arrive 6ish. 10/361 Paremoremo Road, Albany. All the way down the drive/track to the last house on the right.

I'd suggest the weekend of 16/17 April.
Next weekend is the Taupo trackday, and the Waikato rally is on the 23/24 April weekend (I think).

Have you got a burnout pad yet?

Sounds like a good idea it would be a nice house warming party :drinknsin

keep us updated! lots of people going down to Taupo on the 9th (Sat) and 10th (Sun).... You can't have them drinking on Saturday and racing on the Sunday!

Fraser: Since you are in Albany now, if you are free, come round and pick up that CD of the pics!! or i can drop them off.

That sounds like a plan. I'll be busy these couple of weekends but will definitely drop by even for a short while and contribute to the beer pool.

i seem to remember a similar event taking place at mitch's old pad when she was up here. Bring a plate, bring some booze, places to crash the night ( a floor to sleep on once you have tucked your bike into the bed) and general good times :Punk: :Punk:

It is all the way down the track until it turns to crap and the house is on the right with an R1 out the front. Bring usual stuff food, piss, bag whatever. :drinknsin

Ok now back home on my own comp....
Thanks Swanman for the use of your comp....
Yep me and RIB hi-jacked your comp for a little while...lol

Swanman awesome place you got with nice views.

Well it was awesome to meet lots of new faces...
Feint and Baby R popped in for a short time as he was on his way out for dinner for his 21st with his parents.. Happy Birthday Feint.

Heaps turned up.... and have to confess I can't remember every one's name...
Joni, RIB, Roo?, Mono?, Justsomeguy, Erik, Paparazzi, Frosty, Pillion, Bugjuice, Feint and Baby R.
I am sure that I have missed someone off the list...

RIB, got the special job off being chef on the BBQ. He cooked my steak to perfection. Roo ordered in Hell's Pizza and Frosty had to travel to pick them up.

I wont say a word about the behaviour of the dogs thou.......lol.

The driveway..... well it was scarey going down on the gravel (boulders)..... and I wasnt looking forward to going back up in the dark.... but surprisingly it wasn't that bad going back up over the gravel (boulders) driveway... the distance also seemed a lot shorter....lol. :ride:

Thanks Swanman (Fraser) for having us over. It was a pity BABY R and myself couldn't stay longer and catch up with you all. The views from your deck are awesome, you have a pretty nice place there Swanman!

Sounds like you all had quite a bit of fun.

Thanks alot for the birthday wishes!

It was nice meeting you all again.

Nothing wrong with that driveway! Back brake on the way down, and gas it on the way up.

Easy.

Joni
17th April 2005, 09:14
Swanman, thank you for letting us into your home... it was lovely. :niceone:

Frosty, it was good to see you again and meet your lovely partner Pillion. It was also great to put some faces to the names, RIB, Paparazzi, Justsomeguy, Crashe, Bugjuice... and all the other guys, sorry Im shocker with names.

Also nice to see the newer guys there, was a pleasure Mono and Roo! See you @ the Rally.

Well now that I have woken up I'd like to say thanks to all those who came along. I had met many of you before but some new faces for me too. Doug cheers mate for looking after the BBQ. Joni you are quite a rare one, fast biker, good cook (so you say), single.....jeez. Some good conversations I had were discussing the virtues of wheelying on camera famous bridges starting with the harbour bridge. Don't know how realistic that one is in the cold light of day!


Anyway another good KB event. Bikers getting together and talking shit. Oh and lastly the place was easy to tidy up this morning, so you guys are welcome back anytime. :niceone:
