Woodybee's Scottish mate is coming to NZ, make him welcome?

[woodybee]

My mate Bruce is coming over between January 30th and March 4th, he picks up his bike in Auckland and will ride it down through the North to the South.

He's a lovely guy very genuine and a good laugh.....Love the Scottish Dudes anyway, so he's firmly wrapped in my circle of friends now.:yes:

He is looking at spending half the time up North and Half down south, leaving at the end of February to get up to Auckland beginning of March. So work round Jan 30th - February 14th North, February 14th - Febuary 28th South Island.:scooter:

If you want email him direct or leave your contcat details on here, I have had nothing but affection and warmth from you lovely Kiwi's so show this Scot a good old time.:woohoo:

I have told him how friendly and wickedly lovely you Kber's are so anyone want to meet him for a coffee beer and show him your town then please let him know. His email is bruce3vmax@hotmail.com.

I am nutting out the NZ Map with him on Thursday, so please either contact him directly to tell him he'd be welcome round yours,and show him some good old fashioned kiwi warmth and hospitality.

Hope you Dude's and Dudess's are well......and thanking you inticipation of meeting and greeting my ace scotsman and showing him how gorgeous NZ is................Missing you all so much.... Woodybee xxx

He could drop in here - but we're out and about tons during that time (Vincent etc) so an e-mail or something before arriving would be a must.

And are we going to see you again in NZ??

[jafar]

I've got space here too if you need it bruce, I'm in Waiuku, an hour or so south of Auckland central. :niceone:

[woodybee]

He could drop in here - but we're out and about tons during that time (Vincent etc) so an e-mail or something before arriving would be a must.

And are we going to see you again in NZ??working on it mate, who knows when, a lottery win would be good. 10 million tonight, how nice would that be.

I really am missing you guys loads......I was chatting to Bruce (Brumax) last night, telling him what a great bunch you guys are, and was tearful while I was talking to him, looking out at the dark night which had enclosed around me, thinking of the height of summer over there.........and the rallies, and all my KB mates, over there.

Had a house move last week, and frigging sky are taking their f**king time in linking me back up to broadband, god they aqre tossers, they charge £60 for the pleasure of waiting it whould be wait for free, and pay £60 for installing quicker........GITS!!!!!!!, wanna be skyping with Dangerous Gwenda and Q and Ness, the rest of you should get on Skype...

I long to be riding to a rlaly with a huge smile on my face, arriving at the field and getting shouted at as I camp up by mates made over there, getting on with it and getting out and about, just came back froma long weekend in Jersey, and was looking across at France where I shall be venturing over in June for my birthday, whilst you lot are making the Chilly MOnkey.


Miss Miss and Missing you guys heaps wonder if you know how much x

[woodybee]

Hey Yall,

Just a quickie to say thank you to all of you who have offered Brumax (Bruce) a bed....you will dig him completely nice chap.....told him to surround you dudes with a big bear hug from me....so beware x:rockon:

Sorry to hear you lost your camera Bruce - fingers crossed in getting it back. If not - you'll just have to swing by on your way through again and snap your way back up north.

Sounds like you are having a great time! I'm sure you have had some glorious weather too. Take care mr.
