Don't know how many but damn there sure were alot of them out there on Sunday. Was going back and forth between here and Tauranga getting building supplies (so was in a cage) and couldn't go 3 secs with out seeing one.

Talked to a group of peaple on Harleys at the Caltex just up the road from my house on Cambridge Road here in Hamilton and they ended up going out to the run.

Was a fantastic ride despite the rain. :headbang: Dont know how many were there but you could contact the club through Philfy021 262 9334 or RICHARD 027 6415650. I was amazed at the turnout, let me know how many eh?

I had only one sphincter snapping moment, at the Tauranga turnoff on the Matamata road. Nearly ran into Stan on his Hog as he turned the corner ahead of me while I was skidding on the kamakazi strips in the centre. :nono: The old target fixation as I tried not to look at him so I wouldnt hit him.
Had a blast at the piss-up too.

Slightly off-topic...The Ramdom Riders Poker Run on the 15th Oct. Starts at the Trees Tavern in Tokoroa and will end at The Bullring on SH1 south of Tokoroa. Their first ever poker run so spread the word and bring ya mates. I will pick up a flyer tomorrow and post the details.

Saw two MV Agustas aswell. Same paint scheme, Nice looking bikes in the flesh.

Saw one crazy bugger on a harley with apehangers that put his hands higher than the top of his helmet. No idea how he can ride that thing up the Kaimais at the speed he was doin. Braver man than I.

That Hog won the prize for best paint job. Had the coolest ape faces on the tank. Yeah the bars were a little OTT, but he handled it no prob. Each to their own I guess. :banana:

Haha, yea I remember seeing that one parked up at the first meeting spot Tauranga side of the Kaimais. Remeber thinking, cool dude to show up on a ride with a bunch of flash sportbikes and expensive cruisers lol.

Didn't catch the paint job Goblin but the guy certainly seemed to enjoy his bike. Good on him for that.
