I'm going to be up there on the bike from Friday morning till probably Saturday or Sunday some time. Anyone keen for meeting up and going for a bit of a blast?
I'll probably be staying on the shore.

I'm going to try and ride up to Kerikeri and back on sunday/monday too, so anyone who wants to come up for a bit should feel free :D

I'm leaving Welly on Wednesday morning some time. Planning on going to Palmy first for a couple of hours, then on to Tauranga for the night. I'll be going to Huntly on Thursday morning, then on to Hamilton on Thursday afternoon for the night. Should be arriving in Auckland on Friday morning.

Hey, I'm up on the shore at the moment. Got to tauranga last night at about 9pm after meeting up with a dude on an rs125 just comming out of welly on wednesday morning. Looks like his engine seized about 10km's south of Palmy, so I stuck around with him for a bit while the AA came.

Had a nice cop free journey after leaving palmy at about 4.

Took the long road to work this morning.. went from tauranga, up to waihi then on to whangamata, and across to thames. Those roads are pretty awesome there, I might have to head back there in the weekend :D

Me and sheep dags are free all tomorrow, so we're looking for some places to ride and people to ride with. So if anyone's feelin like coming for a ride tomorrow give me a pm or something.

Yeah that was an awesome ride alright! Love those roads around there. Me and Sheep Dags have got the same bike, except his used about twice as much gas as mine :O But we're going to try and fix his cold starting problem up today, so we'll be up for a ride on sunday, maybe over to the coromandel for the day or something if anyone's keen to come along :D

It was good to meet you too Dave :D
