Blenheim? What is so exciting about Blenheim. :spudguita

[Kickaha]

Blenheim? What is so exciting about Blenheim. :spudguita


It's on the way to Wanagnui which will be a fuck sight better than a ride to Akaroa :yes:

[Rashika]

Blenheim? What is so exciting about Blenheim. :spudguita
well its next to picton which is the jumping off point for that land up north, you know the one where the wheels have trouble staying on the ground and up the right way? :apumpin:

[JWALKER]

It's on the way to Wanagnui which will be a fuck sight better than a ride to Akaroa :yes:

true, but for those not going to wanganui. akaroa ain't half bad

[Sniper]

Smartarses, I lived in Blenheim for 5 years, its not a nice place........ :lol:

[Kickaha]

true, but for those not going to wanganui. akaroa ain't half bad


I've done both, Akaroa is a very poor second, there's probably still room on the Ferry though :lol:

[Sniper]

I can't think of any smartarse comment, but I was up in Blenheim two weeks ago. I think I need to buy a bigger bike.

[**R1**]

No, Im going to have a 4 hr headstartI still fail to see how this will help you, are you going to early to booby trap the road?:motu:

[Sniper]

I still fail to see how this will help you, are you going to early to booby trap the road?:motu:

Me, play dirty? Never :msn-wink: :devil2:

Nah, I give up until I get the new bike.

[Biff]

Me, play dirty? Never :msn-wink: :devil2:

Nah, I give up until I get the new bike.

Don't give up, do what I do. Ride like a nana and "tut, tut" at those bloody dangerous road riders. I could beat him you see, but I have too much repsect for blah, blah, blah, wank.

No R1 - I won't race you!

[onearmedbandit]

What time do you guys plan on leaving? I will probably close the yard about 12ish so would be very keen if you guys are not leaving too early.

Hey Sniper, have you ever considered getting a bigger bike :lol:

It might be a few hours to you or me, but when your birthday is on Xmas eve any distraction from 'your day' is a big deal, its not worth antagonizing the missus :Pokey:

[T.W.R]

I've done both, Akaroa is a very poor second, there's probably still room on the Ferry though :lol:

what a dismal statement to make :eyepoke: the only real exciting part of going to wangas is from Sanson thru to wangas & thats only 50km & only really gets good past lake alice:yes: & the rest of the good parts of the trip to wangas from chch are all sth island anyhow:bleh:

the old Akaroa run is a all-time top cobweb clearer :rockon:

Lucky sods being able to get out there doin it :angry:
