Hey, managed to get back to Aucks but alas my bike remains in Otranhonga! If there is anyong in Otrahonga that could pick it up and store it for a few days whilst I sort getting down there to pick it up that would be sweet!

Oh a guy from the sheep ride yesterday recognised my fancy jacket so stopped and gave me a ride all the way back to Auck!

I am probably going accross to see a client in Otorohonga on Tuesday morning and could pick it up then so long as its "ready to go" as I have to be back in Taupo by 1:00pm. I will be coming up to Auckland on thursday as usual so if I pick it up you will have to wait for it until then. Will be confirming my Otorohonga appointment in the morning (some of my clients arn't too reliable) so i can let you know for sure then.

I don't mind coming down from Auckland to pick it up in a van however I'd need money for diesel. Could do it any time tomorrow unless something important comes about.

Will get in touch though will prob hire a trailer from base and head down to save you the trip up in to auckland, I know how much you hate this place!

and some good news the farmer where I left the bike has just text and said that he has put the bike in the shed, mentioned what a bummer it was to happen on a day like yesterday and the he wished he was out on his bike!

Now to just fix the thing !
