WHEN? the 6th of Feb 2010

WHERE? Kaikoura

[neels]

I'd be keen for lunch in kaikoura (as long as there's no surcharge for a public holiday)

[200BUSA]

Hopefully no surcharge but we usually just get a burger or fish n chips. The main thing is to get out on a nice ride for the day.

Id been keen on a ride but have to back in chch by 3pm!!!

[200BUSA]

Some of us dont get to go away to the rallies, thats why we get out on the shorter rides as time allows.
BeenThere we can be back by then if we leave earlier.

[xknuts]

Sorry mate will be at the Vincent

It'll be great to catch up with u & Fj at the Vincent Rally.
I look frwd to it.
Hope to have my newest steed up vinned by then!

[Mully Clown]

I think Longley's Run is on then. May or may not be a reason to avoid the peninsula.

Some of us don't get to go to Rallies very often either.
So normally we would be up for this,mate.

Have a good one and hope the weather is kind to both of us.
With all this global-warming, I'm not sure I can take all this hot clear weather.:laugh:

Was awesome weather alright.... Loved hearing your bike through the Tunnels!! :lol: I knew you could resist 'fanging' it a bit! I was giggling in my helmet... no point me even trying on mine... silence is still silence in a tunnel! Thanks for hanging back with me... Apparently no more rides until new tyres :weep:(tyres are fucked :pinch: according to PapaBear)... Bugger!


Great day everyone!

Thank you for organising the ride.. had a great time... great weather... great company and many nice sounding bikes!!! The roadworks were bit of a shitter... but my girl is nice and clean again.. all polished and put away... :2thumbsup

[LittleAngel]

Just a few pics.... Sorry they not the best... was hard to get all the bikes since we all squeezed into limited parking.... (murpheys law.. once we all seated.. all the surrounding cars vacated!!) :lol:

[Mr Triple]

Thanks Busa for organising the ride, was a good way to spend the day.
We had a great ride up through Culverden, through Waiau where we come across a bit of grit about. We carried on up through the Leader Valley, and had perfect weather with the sun beaming down, bugger all traffic and the odd bit of grit. Once out on the open road again, we still had light traffic. We had a good clear ride through to Kaikoura where we enjoyed lunch at Robbies. This is where I parted from the group, heading back through the inland, Lyford, road, where there was no grit at all! :) I was off to Hurunui for a night camping with the family :) Thanks for taking Pics LittleAngel, great to see the bikes grouped, as you say, Murphys' law! Thanks again, and great to catch up with some familiar faces and meet new ones, take care all and see you again soon :)
