CC's Cross the Ditch Adventure (Coffee & Scones with the locals)

[cc rider]

Well it has been friggin forever (2 yrs) since I was over in the land of raisin scones & funky motorsickle folk :ride:
I can't wait to see you gorgeous bunnies. Old friends to catchup with & others to meet for the first time. Lots of :hug: s to go round.

Landing bright & early 7 Feb Aucky & fly out late 20 Feb from ChCh.

2 events I want to attend. The Triumph Festival & Paeroa Races :wings:

Will be hitching around the Islands, so would be stoked to get a few lifts with any KBers who are travelling about or jus fancy a bit of a ride & adventure. Happy to pay my way.
Going down to Welly (put the kettle on Crasher), Masterton & New Plymouth & up to Warkworth (Gin & apple mixers on the back patio with Mom & Maha). I know there's a mass of KBers in Aucky & surrounding areas so maybe we can organise a group meetup. :grouphug:
Gonna spend some time with my fav mud duck in Waihi (bathtime under the stars, nothing better). Am so excited to be finally meeting my 'oldest bestest' KB friend FJ rider. I was last in ChCh in Jan 2010 visiting with R1 & did a Wed night ride. :cool: I still remember sight seeing around that lovely city & the Britten museum. Very cool.
Not sure which order of travel yet. Will depend on you guys & gals.

So if you've got a couch or spare bed & are up for some over the ditch company that would be awesomeness :sunny:

So don't be shy (:rofl: I is funny) post or drop uz a PM.

I've been packed for a month... that's not weird aye. haha I am so excited :wari: :wings: :Punk:

I'd love to have a swing with some Kiwi s/car folk :whistle:

Rough Itinerary

Land Auckland Thurs 7th 5.30am.

7 - 10th Auck/Hampton Downs
Looking at going to 'Triumph Festival' at Hampton Downs on Sat & Sun. So if anyone is going down & has a spare seat I'd be wrapped. Sounds like a fantastic event. Can pay way & I don't mind returning ea day or staying in the area.

Am looking for some kindly folk with a spare 'bed' in Auck area for a night or few.

How about a get-together on Friday night in Auck? You guys will have to suggest where. Would be fantastic to meet some KBers I've been chating with on here. Even if there's a wknight 'ride' on.

11 - 13th in Welly. May just fly down if no-one is travelling that way. Going to crasher's bike shop.
A Meeting Place anyone??? Will need bed please.

13 - 15th Warkworth. Mom, Maha I'll let you work on a KB round-up if that's ok.

16 - 18th Waihi (Paeroa Races) Have to take weta his B'day pressie :D

19 - 20th ChCh. FJ is this somewhere for us to catchup?

Wed 20th Fly out 9pm. :(

I think that covers it. Please don't be shy/slack. I'm pretty flexable with plans.

Is it possible to stick this link in Rant & Rave for more exposure? I'm not sure how.

Lubs to all you fluffy ducks

Then mad dash, we had urgent (separate) needs.
On the busa to Waihi (read... in Auck carpark) :laugh:

Thanks for lift Matt. :Punk:

It's fantastic to meet KBers when you've chatted online. Or just read their stuff. Especially as I'm overseas. I'm not a social butterfly back home, so is not 'natural' to get contact happening here. Who'd a thought :rolleyes:
So thank you to those who have said 'Hi, met up or giving of themselves to this wee traveller... :grouphug:
