G'day

Arrived in Nelson yesterday, after 4 years of Dorkland. What an improvement.

Anyways, was just wondering what the story is with Kiwibiker in Nelson - are there bikees local who get together for rides, socials, any clubs etc?

I ride a SV650S, about as often as I can :) Would be nice to catch up with some local riders to get to know the roads, etc.

I will check the calendar for anything coming up but obviously drop me a PM if you are in the area and are going to head off somewhere anytime and wouldn't mind some company.

I'd love to be heading off to the Duke rally today - any excuse for a ride - but I suspect that I may still be sitting here waiting for the removal company to rock up by then... They were 8 hours late picking my stuff up in Auckland and are now 2 days late arriving here. Good going guys!

Cheers

Mike

NordieBoy is the most active Nelson member I can think of off the top of my head.

At the duc rally keep an eye out for a lovely lady wearing ducati approved clothing (including underwear), and riding a Monster. That's Lynda Blair, from Wellington.

Arrrrghhhhh! I'm so jealous. Nelson is a gorgeous place! :2thumbsup

Gotta love that Takaka Hill Rd!

Definitely Nordie Boy or there is also rdrzcbr, who Nordie Boy and I happened to meet while helping one of rdrzcbr's mates who had and off into a paddock.

If you get a chance to get to the Ducati Rally look out for Lynda Blair - ask anyone and they'll know who she is.

That has lots of nice new black seal in places and lots of nice fine gravel in others and a lot of muddy slush in one place.

There seems to be a lot of new seal going down from Riwaka right through to Takaka.

Was still fun :2thumbsup

Just need to remember to put on the knobblies next time.

Even that corner John came off on has been re-done.
