I left home at 0...my god it was fu...in early...
I got to Kamo at 0800, three hours for the trip north....Not bad going, saw about four cars the entire way. It was even cold enough to put on the heated grips...:)
Just to see them working!
Met the boys, Nigel, Scottie, Clarkie and Mark. The guys are heading to the SI for three weeks and this was a dummy run...Hence, I was invited! :)

All I can say is, roads are magic, plenty of metal and shit, they sure are wide.....Thank f..k for that...:)
We travelled everywhere until we ran out of road, the night was spent at Spirits Bay, but not before meeting a couple of pommy blokes on '86 Teneres, we shared some bullshit and chips before riding off into the distance and Clarkie, mightily stressed about reading the instructions on 'how to pitch a tent'

It seems it was a race, won by the resident Chripractor, I think he was drumming for business.....:) Hey Nig, where was the lovely receptionist?
Great night, even with a little rain to dampen the dust down....
Next moring, we all got up at ...Oh my god, fu...kin even earlier and had some brekkie. Snarlers and bacon at 0545 is the dogs bollocks! :)
We were out of there at 0745 and heading to Kaitaia, then hitting some of those magic roads hidden in the depths of the Far North. Peria Rd is a treasure.....
We found our way to the forestry area where all of a sudden the establishement decided that a gate was in order....There was a great deal of skill and doggedness put forth to negotiate the gate and all but one made it through...:(
The lone Tenere, sitting on 'tother side waited .....and waited, champing at the bit, her pedigree said 'I can do it Dad, I can do it....' Pretend you PeterHansel....

Ha!
I was actually thinking what lay on the other side of 15km riding...? (did you get out guys?)
225386
Well, I hit the highway home and also tackled a few of the favourite roads out of Kawakawa....
Overall, I did nearly 1400Km for the Sat and Sun, my arse is sore, I have some great photos, it was an awesome weekend and the film is being edited as we speak! :yes:
Thanks guys, look forward to viewwing some photos and I will post a few here....
