Just throwing it out there...

[tri boy]

Kanny thinks another newby/relaxed adv ride around the Raglan/Kawhia/hinterland is just about due.:scooter:
The type of ride that gets the less hardcore people interested. The type where scramblers, TDM's, xers CB250RS etc can enjoy at leisurely speeds, knowing other more experienced guys/gals are there to help if need be.

DR250's XT250's Bloody huge bimmers etc etc.

Two day event, accom to be decided on, but camp/doss at chez tri boys, maybe kanny's uncles bach, maybe Kopua camp ground at Raglan.
The regular, bunch of misfits will be required also for entertainment and poking the stick at.
Dates and ride to event drivvle may start............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ....................................

Tiger n I will be a starter, and my bach if required.

[Phreaky Phil]

Mis will be on the back, but i'm far from "Fit":soon:

[PirateJafa]

Do it on a Tuesday or Wednesday and I'd be keen. :facepalm:

[chasio]

On ya - I'd be interested, too: depends a lot on dates, though.

Chasio

[tri boy]

How would mid, to late Nov, or even the first w/end in Dec fit with most people?
Oh, and there is a distinct possibily that an excursion onto a secret project base will be included.
Can't say too much, but it would be worth doing the ride for this alone:shifty:
My early thoughts on accom, lends towards Kopua camp ground.
Cheap, varying accom, and is centred in the riding zone. BBQ/ pub food/ and walking distance to shops makes it a good base.

[young1]

I presume KTM's with wide asses are welcome?

All sounds very good, late November would be my pick (hopefully it will have stopped raining by then). I bags to be a stick poker and not a pokee!

mike

[.chris]

I could well be a starter for this one. Date depending of course.

[clint640]

Bugger, a friends wedding just filled the last free weekend in Nov. So please, while you are merrily pootling around the Kawhia backroads, spare a thought for those of us who are less fortunate as we will be hooning around the bush at Minginui/sipping champers by the lake at Okareka/cruising the Molesworth/racing down the beach at the Burt Munro.

Can't be fagged doing a poll, (maybe a Swede, or Spanish), so the weekend ride dates to choose from are:

Last w/end in Nov, 26-27-28th,
First w/end in Dec 3rd-4th-5th.

I'm leaning towards the Dec date, as the national classic show n rally is on in New Plymouth on the Nov date, and kanny wants to drool over old sickles.

What say you lot?
I'll just count up the replies, scull some booze, then choose. (heh, that rhymes).

Further ride route details will get thrashed out after the date is chosen.:sunny:

[chasio]

I've got rellies arriving from the UK mid-November, so I'll have to play it by ear on the dates. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

December 4 / 5 Would be good for me. Raglan camp ground would make a great base.

Pretty sure i can Get Suzi Girl out on her wee bike at that time of the year, so that will turn me into a nana rider ( at least for the first 2 hours anyway ) :devil2:

Nah, no way can I get there :bye:

I'm working on a 3 slice toaster, just for kanny :msn-wink:

[Phreaky Phil]

Either either date is ok 4 us. Raglan campground is a good base, had a couple good stays there in the month of May:msn-wink:

[Cary]

[tri boy]

I've been instructed as of today that I have to take 192hrs A/L before the end of the year:woohoo:

192hrs - 80hrs study - 20hrs missus - 10 hrs round da house chores - 20hrs KTM maintenance - 22hrs drinking = 40hrs riding~ opps forgot 10 hours pushing cause of tyre irons left at home and another 6hrs to go to Hams and back for air filter:woohoo:

[young1]

The first weekend in December I will be dancing to Bon Jovi in Wellington. So November date is best for us.

Hi Triboy,

I'd be keen to join in.....an I think I qualify as a "less hardcore person"

I have my very own adventure bike now....an XT250

The 4th/5th December would be good for me

hope all is well

[tri boy]

Join in Nic.
Might be able to encourage a cameo appearance from a well know chap also. Mums the word though cus I havn't asked him yet.:shifty:

[dino3310]

Is there any free beer on this trip:drinkup:

[That looks like fun]

[young1]

So what date have you decided on Brett?

[tri boy]

Started counting, then got confused after three votes.
Removed boots and socks to count with toes. The smell knocked me out, came back around, lost count, removed two toes with meat cleever to help with subtraction formula, passed out, came around again.
Looked at Miss December on the calendar, passed out, made a decision.
The ride will follow a similar organisational formula.
Calendar thingie will be started after I sew my toes back on.
Kanny's in ChCh, so this could take a while.

[NordieBoy]

Staple guns are great.

[Taz]

:corn::corn::corn: Waiting.

[tri boy]

:corn::corn::corn: Waiting.


On it:yes:
Just trying to secure a site visit, so I can link roads etc to put up in the calander thingie.
If I still havn't got a "yay or nay" on said secret gig, then I'll post a brief outline in a calendar link.
Bare with me:sunny:
(Ride is on no matter what).

[tri boy]

[wysper]

Actually that is an option for me too, might have to consider that. The down side would be I would be home each night to help with the kiddies LOL

[Taz]
