Thanks Devo. Bradys Bay one I had but was still guessing about the Pae Hill one. Sorry I should have specified it was the one in post 2994, the derelict building was the second tag no location had been posted for.

#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???

Went for a bit of a ride today and was at the gas station filling up when I hear a voice say," so, how do ya find it ?".
I look up to see an old boy(must be deep in his 70s) pointing at my bike.
"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).
Me "cool, are you happy with it ?"

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:

We moved Rural, and i now find that there is not very much spare, spare time anymore, so with that and the hiked rates in rego I am only riding in the Drier months, Both Games have moved on quite a bit since I was last tagging, may get the odd one in yet though.

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. Oh well, another project for the off season.
