what time are you guys going to get to NgaruawahiaHard to say. I've done it I think three times and I have no real idea as to how long it takes. Maybe 2 hours? I can text you when we get close if you wanna tag along for a bit.

If you don't mind a slow nana holding you up I'd be keen to tag along.Well, a friend of mine is coming on his RGV150, so I shouldn't think we will be doing any of this ----> :first:

The pace of the ride I would call at best slowish.

If we don't keep stopping to talk about our feelings, have a cry and do any other poofta shite, we should be able to comfortably reach the Ngaruwahia BP by noon - provided we're on the road by 10am latest.

I may only ride one way and return via SH1 as I need to be back in Dorkland by 1:30.

Go club 250!!

This may well be the first ride with all the bikes 250 cc and under.

:scooter:

actually it will be good to finally do a ride where there is another mighty 150 2 smoker.

Nice to be invited even though I don't meet the 250 criteria.

Had a lovely ride.

Rain didn't put me off.

And it was fantastic to meet some of the faces behind the monitor.

By the way, I managed to get rid of some more posters at Rangriri and Te K.

Got home dry. I hope you all did too.:niceone:

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I will show all the bikers on base out here the poster next time I catch up with them, they should be keen.

That ride was a blast! definately improved my confidence in the wet, its great doing a group ride like that with mixed conditions, you learn so much.:2thumbsup

Was only wet for the first few km's on the way home then she all dried up and we couldnt keep young "baldy" LXS back any longer and he promptly left us all in his dust on the little GPX250, nice riding man :niceone: hope you get a new tire soon.

on our way back we stopped of for a coffe and to chew the fat at (guy on 636, cant remember name sorry) place, thanks for the hospitality :2thumbsup

From there Dave headed back down hams way, SteveD took off for the shore and Alex and I just cruised home.

Strat and Daco, did you guys make it home alright?

Alas that will be the last ride on my lovely KR 150, it was fun and the bike went really well, its still for sale if anybody is keen-just ask any of these guys from the ride how good it goes:msn-wink:

Was a good ride indeed!

Good to meet you all, weather was great, a bit of drizzle early on but then it was all gravy :laugh: :mellow:

Draco you missed out on the return trip! probably about 40 seconds of light rain? how was sh1?

Good on ya Will for those posters, looking forward to the ride in feb.

I can vouch for potzmans kr150, its a good looker, keeps up with traffic :sherlock:

Thanks for the coffee Gazzar. My non-KB friend Mike (certainly prettier than Strat) got home alright.

Sorry about losing you fellas on SH boring. I lost you on the on-ramp somehow and I waited at the next off-ramp but I didn't catch yous. Ah well, catch you next time.
