#2994 is the old restaurant (I can't remember it's name) on SH1 close to Leinster Ave.

And my apologies for not posting the location. It was just me being lazy/tardy rather than me not wanting to share :mellow:
. I now consider myself suitably rebuked and will make sure I add a location to claims. :laugh:


PS: Does anyone know how, using an iphone, to get the google maps co-ordinates e.g. -41.046896,174.9335 that you get from the 'What's here' when using the browser on a PC???

"I luv it " I reply,"runs like a charm. So what do you ride ?" I ask noticing his Triumph T shirt.
He " I got a T100 and live in Palmerston North ( about a 100k north of me).

I see the bikes buzz past in Droves on a weekend, its one of those wee deviations that just begs to be done, in fact it was just such an excursion that had me find my new place to live once NZTA laid claim to the last one.
I may have to return to the game for this one, Sometimes its hard to resist a Doorstep Tag.
Its placing a new one that will have me beat, I may actually have to Ride the bike to do that.
How have you been BM, I hope christmas has treated you well.:woohoo:

Electrics eh, Looks like the Super has one too after battery drain issues for the last couple of seasons I finally bought a new battery, went to jump on Christmas day for a trip down to the folks and the new battery was also dead as a Door nail, am starting to wander if the new louder horn I paralleled up a couple of years ago has caused a bit of a short in control switch.

Apologises if you have trouble seeing the bike, it appeared no-one else in Kapiti could either - grrr

Paraparaumu Bowling Club Toru Rd, in a park this time but not sure it is exactly the correct one :rolleyes: one of the draw backs of not having one of those smart phone thingees, you can't double check the location.
