Places in the North Island i'm riding through.

[WarlockNZ]

Not really a meeting or an event (well it is for me), so i figured here was the best place to post.

I am combining some leave owed into some work that has to be done and as such will be riding to wellington from auckland and back, starting on the 29th of this month.

Figured i'd post the details in case any KBers where going to be around in the towns i'll be passing through and wanted to say hi, cause we're a friendly bunch here on KB :)

So here's the plan.

29th Sept, Leave Auckland and ride to Taupo and stay over night.
30th Sept, ride to Palmerston North (yes there is a valid reason i'm going to palmy :P )
2nd Oct, ride to wellington, i'll be in wellington for a few days.
6th Oct, ride to Masterton, this is where the work starts.
10th Oct, ride to Hastings
13th Oct, ride back to Auckland.

So.. there you have it, if anyone is around and feels like saying hi, feel free :)

[Colapop]

If you get to Wellington on the 30th or even cruise down on the 1st you'll be able to come on the Great Big KB ride - around the Wairarapa. And meet a bundle of KBers (and others) to boot.

Sorry I can't be round to say gidday. Off having my own adventure up the East Cape with a bunch of deviant v-twin riders.

[WarlockNZ]

Well, I have made it to Wellington, No bins and no tickets, but very very hungover .. lol ..

Big ups to Mav for coming down to Taupo with me and then riding the desert road with Aaron and myself (for those of you who don't know, Aaron is Jazz's Brother), was good to meet some fellow KB'ers on the way.

Pity i couldn't catch up with Sunhunting and Cowboys while I was in Palmy, but no doubt i'll be back down there at some stage.

Pics will be forthcoming of the trip thus far, including some video footage of a bike that will just make you all shit.. i kid you not .. lol.

Right. I have photos to resize video to edit.
