A great write up mate, can't believe we have been back almost a week already.
I really enjoyed spending more time with you and getting to know you better.
Next year we shall take the oldies for a blatt I reckon :yes:

It was so good to have local riders join us in the South and wasn't Micheal from Greymouth a dear, reading about it in the paper, packing up and coming the rest of the west with us. There is a man who walks the talk. We should go down with your boys, Sandra, Caitlyn n Mark to his 4wd place and play in the mud.

Hope to see more local riders join us next year.
Thanks for looking after me :2thumbsup:

Thanks Sarah. Was a pleasure to ride with you. And really, you are more than capable of looking after your self. ;-)

Yes, next year it will be the old one. The speed was no problem (we just get a Police to lead us...) so we be fine. And if a 1937 BSA can keep up with us in the Nelson hills, then...

Mike was a hoot. Just the types we want to attract! But where were all the sport bike riders? They are left in shame by the cruizers. Perhaps they do not give a shit re the message?

355 days to go...

Hi Azza,
Great fun chasing your tail on the twisties. Don't forget you are in an elite group of 3. Walrus and myself being the other culprits lol
Hopefully none of us will repeat that in the future. Hope you had a good ride home and don't forget to get in touch if you are ever in Palmie and want to go for a blatt :ride:

For sure, that guy sure knew how to throw the old girl around, hope he enjoyed his mussels at lunchtime he certainly deserved them, must have a butt of iron riding that baby over Takaka hill for sure :clap:

If I wanna have fun getting dirty I shall definitely be going to see Mike, Mark and I are already planning.
Yep shame that all those bikers that went to the Burt didn't don a white ribbon and ride some of the way with the group to show support for those less fortunate. A hope for next year :-)
