Going to the Feb. HOG Rally in AKL Scummy?

[Big Dave]

It looks like I might be able to act as interpreter for you if you do.

Weer the puuurpull shurt, like.

[scumdog]

At this stage it's doubtful - but who knows???

[unstuck]

Harrrr harrrr harrrr.;)

Me and the mobile rrradio station should be up therrre in Feb.

[ratusratus]

Yep. good times.

Different animal though. More structured than when it was just us being loose units in the boondocks.

The Hog nationals are much more trade show than traditional MC rally.

However like with so many things in life you get what you put in. I am looking forward to getting up there a few days early and doing as many of the day trips as possible. Its been ages since I have been to Auckland other than on work and I am really looking forward to the trip. Planning to take our time and trip up the north island east coast and back down the west.

I have 2 weeks off but I are minding the shop over xmass and I will have to work on most of the stat days so I should have another weeks holiday in lue by then. If I have more time I will go up to the far north.

I have fitted and tuned up a 80,40,20m aerial on the back of the scooter and have also programmed all the national repeater frequencies into a hand held. Now I just have to sharpen the tip so I generate a nice corona on the end of the antenna, I bet that will make the tail gaters to back off quickly.

3 weeks to go until I hit the road.

Qkkid and Qkchk will be there on our Harleys for all 3 days:Punk:

[Big Dave]

Yep - I'm in. Just confirmed. Loan bike as well. Gidddddy-up.

Ellerslie. 10.5 years I lived in Ellerslie (but we called it Remuera).
Good Venue for the event though.

[BIG DOUG]

Only 1 more hog rally next year 2 go and thats it.

[Madness]

Just look for the 6' aerial on a road king with a Hello Kitty flag flapping off it.

Shouldn't be hard to spot.

[Flip]

That looks cool, where do I find one of those?

[Big Dave]

Toungin' for this. Enough to put up with two days in airports!

Harley are lending me a Heritage Softail for the gig. (stoked)

I also get to hang out with Bill Davidson again.

If any of you lot need an introduction find me - or just go and say g'day - he is genuinely pleased to meet a Harley enthusiast.

I asked him if he ever got sick of being asked the same questions over and over - his answer was completely frank - 'I have a privileged position, I get to represent a company I am proud of - how could I possibly object?'

Dude is real.

Youse lot should give him a Haka.

[ratusratus]

would love to meet him Dave:-)

[Big Dave]

Home in Brizvegas sorting photos and video.
That would have to rate as one of the best motorcycle events I've been to.

I'll probably write 2000 words the mags.

'Fucking great!'

Would do it.

[psykonosis]

Here's a capture vid on youtube of the thunder ride. Try spot yourself if you were there :)

[Flip]

Why is the Hog Nats ending?

What dumb ass marketer thought this is a good idea?

[Big Dave]

Do you mean why is 2014 being held in Palmy? It's not *that* bad.
