Get Together

[Paul in NZ]

OK - this might be a bit - wierd but I would appreciate your feedback.

Mindful of the Aucklanders that are coming down to Wellington for the funerals of Uncle b and Loosebruce AND the locals of course. Vicki and I are happy to open our house either friday night or saturday so you can get together and - well do whatever you need to do but will include a chance to toast our absent friends.

We will supply a BBQ and basic sausage / roll stuff.

I'm also prepared to try and find another venue closer to town (we are 50km north of wellie in Raumati) but everything thus far is booked for xmas parties. My intention is that this will be more a happy wake than a dirge but will NOT be a balls out drunken, throw up on the carpet knees up either - try to show a bit of style eh and ANYONE attempting to drive home under the influence ISN'T....

Sorry - didn't mean it to be a downer.

ANYWAY - the offer is there - don't care if it's 2 people or 50, if you want it to happen - post here - if not - the thread will slip away into the night.

[Skunk]

I would really like a get-together. It's good idea.

And a chance to meet some of our northern brethren.

[Trudes]

That's a lovely idea, thank you :sunny: .

[Paul in NZ]

OK - then thats a goer. Please let me know friday or sat?

Please let the Aucklanders know so they can express a preference around any travel plans.

[Colapop]

Riffer says he got into trouble last time he went on "One of 'those' things"...

In that case I'm in!

[Hitcher]

The Hitchers would prefer Saturday.

[sels1]

Prefer Fri night cause 1- folk might want to head North on Sat and 2 - the Coast 2 Coast on Sat and some of us will be in Akito.......

PS - the Wed night ride - TCWNR - of which Bruce was one of the originators - would be a good opportunity for us to get together for both a ride and a toast in his honour.

[Terminated]

OK - then thats a goer. Please let me know friday or sat?

Very kind of you for this offer Paul.

A memorial ride to your place, a lemonade and a time of sharing our memories. Then a quiet ride, home by 10pm.

Regards
Guy aka BuckBuckNo1

[Paul in NZ]

Folks - I know the coast to coast is sat and that this is short notice.

I'm hoping the wellie folk will be adaptable and fit in with our northern guests - regardless of the date - some will miss out - can't be helped eh?

I am also mindful that people will want to stay on after the friday funeral and may indeed prefer having a few beers with the family or whatever. I just don't know what else to do for you all - so I've made this less than perfect offer.

Lets wait to see what the northern folks would like?

Paul N

[gijoe1313]

Ahh the hospitable face of the Wellingtonians warms the cockles of my heart (me being a Wellingtonian!) I wish I was coming back down with a happier purpose, sorting out travel/time off arrangements and accomodation now!

[bugjuice]

I'd appreciate that..

[justsomeguy]

Thank you Paul for deciding to arrange this.

I would prefer Friday night.

I believe most of the Auckland riders would be riding home by Saturday Morning at the latest.

Regards,
JSG

[Skunk]

I'll stick my hand up for Friday as I can see the Northern crew heading back Saturday.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Paul,

This would be great. Expescially for those like myself that can't make the Funeral.

Friday night would be best suited.

May young guys like myself come?

The fact you asked demostrates that you are a well bought up young gent - of course you can - don't be shy but I don't expect this to be too 'mad'.

pm me for the address folks

[chanceyy]

Paul that would be fantastic .. I have 4 of the auck crew staying with me .. & its on the way back from welly ...

we will discuss it when they arrive ..they are heading home sat morning ..

[Hooks]

Thanks for this Paul, as I can't make the funerals this will be a great way to remember the guys who aren't with us anymore.

See ya about 8pm .. looking forward to being in the old home town again and to catching up with you guys !! :rockon:

[James Deuce]

Friday would be good with me.

Jim

[StoneChucker]

I'll be there Friday and/or Saturday. This sounds like a great idea. I can bring enough meat to feed everyone if you'd like that? If we get an idea how many people are coming, and then if you tell me how much meat one would need to feed that many hungry faces, I'll go and buy the required grub.

Otherwise let me know if I can bring something else? It'd be nice to have everyone be able to just turn up and have a "feed", I don't know if the bikes would be able to bring much with them.

[Ms Piggy]

Paul - What a great idea! MrCSL & I will be there. We'll bring some crackers & dip as our contribution.

[crashe]

From one of the north bunch thank you so much for doing this.....

I am heading back up the line first thing Saturday morning in the company of Yungatart and MSTRS to Hastings.

Im also staying with Riffer and family on Friday night.... (cheers Riffer)


So if you want to meet the infamous crashe....... then it has to be Friday night... :whistle: So long as Riffer shows me the way back to his place afterwards, otherwise I will get very lost.

If not then make it saturday.... :whistle:

:shutup: :dodge:

[Paul in NZ]

Friday it is.... watch this post as details unfold - (ie made up on the fly)

Dave - Thanks mate - thrilled to see you at our place again but can we limit it to snags if possible - I suspect people will be coming and going over a period of time and my plan is to keep the food very simple and availiable all night.

EVERYONE.....

Please wathc this thread as the plot unfolds OK

Friday night traffic to the coast is a bastard - be patient.

I don't know what time I will be there - I've offered the use of some kit at the funeral and may need to break it down after BUT there will be someone at home ready.

PLEASE PLEASE watch the corner turning into my street - the surface is terrible and there will be loose gravel. I will try and sweep it but it breeds and LOVES eating motorcycles - you have been warned.

Paul N

[Dreamer]

Thanks Paul

I'd love a get together

[Colapop]

Friday then, done.

[Bend-it]

Yeah, Friday might work for us, I'll find out from the Mrs...

[ajturbo]

i'll pop in on the way home on friday..

[bungbung]

Friday is good.

[sels1]

Paul, let me know if you need an extra bbq and/or outdoor chairs etc

[Paul in NZ]

Paul, let me know if you need an extra bbq and/or outdoor chairs etc

Could be a plan Sels1.... Give me a hoy later on when life settles a bit.

Food will be simple - nothing complicated - bangers and bun deal

[GSVR]

Looks like I'm going from being late for nightshift on Friday to not at all. Your generousity is very much apprecaited by this Kiwibiker. Hope I can get there for a while.

[riffer]

Hey Paul - the riffer clan will be there Friday and we'll probably bring Crashe in the car as well if she can handle that.

You don't mind two motorcycle crazy kids coming too do you? We don't get the other two until the next day thank goodness...

[James Deuce]

All good mate - the house is not overly child safe anymore 'cos ours are all grow'd up so might pay to keep an eye on em.... Theres a few sharp bits in Vickis 'stuff'. There is Leggo there though...

Bigger audience this time and we will expect a show - I'll order in some REALLY big ones

[James Deuce]

Bike lying on on its side doing tyre melting, metal scuffing doughnuts good enough for you?

[Paul in NZ]

Not on my bloody driveway though....

We will stand in a circle with burning torches chanting if it helps?

Paul N

[Bend-it]

White hoods? Tell me in advance and I'll know to not turn up! ;)

[badlieutenant]

awesome idea paul!! which ever night it ends up been ill be there. Have whiskey must travel.

[riffer]

So we will get to bring the wickerman will we? Jim2 will be sooooo pleased!

[The Stranger]

but will NOT be a balls out drunken, throw up on the carpet knees up either - try to show a bit of style eh and ANYONE attempting to drive home under the influence ISN'T....


I see you are expecting Dover to turn up then.

[Paul in NZ]

I see you are expecting Dover to turn up then.

Nah - just my general warning re drinking and driving PLUS it's still a relatively solem occasion eh? Dover would be more than welcome and would not disgrace himself - thats my job.

[Paul in NZ]

White hoods? Tell me in advance and I'll know to not turn up! ;)

Hey - I live in a multicultural society - we have hoods for every occasion....

[The_Dover]

don't worry, the cops usually give me a ride back to their place.

and it's free.

[Zapf]

thanks for opening up your place Paul, Friday night would be best. As most of us Northerners will be travelling back on Sat.

Another idea is that if you leave a hat out I am sure most of us will drop a few coins in towards the food.

As long as you latte loving darlings don't mind basic - it should be sweet.

I only drink Gumboot tea, Milo or Hot chocolate.... :whistle:

None of that latte stuff for this gal.

[Trudes]

Good point Zapf, koha is a great idea, I hate the idea of turning up empty handed somewhere, but if I can contribute with a little moolah or turn some sausages on the barby or wash some dishes, I would love to.

[Paul in NZ]

Please don't stress or make a big deal out of it - it's not much $$ and we are genuinely pleased to do it and we just want folks to relax a bit after a trying week. If you want to contribute - take a harder road and try to make a difference in someone elses life this week - that would genuinely please me no end.

Vicki and I will provide a couple of bags of basic snags, bread, sauce and some salads in plastic bowls from pak n save - simple stuff - fast to cook.

If you need fancy or have special dietary needs - there will be a basic BBQ and tools for you to make us all drool. All little titbits will be pooled so any contibutions of food will be used - please don't go nuts - simple....

Please try to bring your own drinks but for those on bikes we will try to get in some supplies - we will make every effort because we know some of you will be travelling light and fast. I'll try for Ice in a bucket too...

The purpose is for us to get together - not a demonstration of my meagre buying power or largesse - the whole deal will be paper plate simple.

By all means, ANY help with cooking, clearing etc will be gratefully recieved - I expect too many people for me to be waiting on you all ;-) sorry....

We are not precious people but if you have muddy bike boots - leave em at the door

Please don't step on the dog (shes old and can't get out of the way) please don't feed her and watch out for poos on the lawn (don't ask)

At some stage in the evening - I will ask for a little hush - and propose a toast - if someone needs to get stuff off their chest, thats the time - please see me beforehand if possible but if the moment moves you - speak.

Thats it - sorry about all the above - I'll probably get trollied and ignore em meself...

edit

If any of you newer members are a little bewildered by all of this and never even met UncleB and are wondering if you should come along etc - PLEASE do so and introduce yourself. Don't be shy - I think you will learn something about motorcycling they don't teach you in books... PM me for directions.

[rwh]

Sounds great. Pity I can't make it :no:

Richard

[wilber]

Great idea ,I will be there

[Grub]

For all those coming down to Wellington - a word to the wise. There are roadworks along the coast road between Paekakariki and Pukerua Bay. The speeds signs are nuts 100-80-50-70-80-50-80-70-50 ... all in the space of 7km! The grannies of course knock 10kmh off that just to be sure :brick:

Oh yeh, the point? Watch the (bolded) 50 along by the sea ... the fixed camera is locked and loaded ... and doing great business

Brett

[Blakamin]

got room for one more?... due to work ( a new job) I might not be able to make the funerals but I would like to be at a bit of a tribute for the Bruces as I have ridden, and learnt, from/with them both.

[Sphinx]

Thank you so much that would be awesome!! When on Saturday would be good for you? I really appreciate what you guys are doing...!

Could one of the locals please arrange a group ride to Paul's place for those interested.

Thanks.

[Sparky Bills]

There is Leggo there though...

;-)

Paul N


LEGGO!!!
Why didnt you say so!

Friday is good for me, but will have to see. Am doing to Coast to Coast, so wont be a late one.
Would like to come say Hi either way.
But wont be in town on Saturday night.

[Blakamin]

yup... It's been awhile...

[Paul in NZ]

Folks it's this friday evening from about 6;30

It's not going to be a late one as people have the coast to coast and the akl guys are riding home sat morn.

All are welcome - I will provide simple food and some drink. You bring anything you can and we will all muck in.

Weather looks shite so it may be in the garage but thats life eh?

Best Regards

Take the road over the Paekak' Hill instead - it's heaps more fun and with those crazy speed limits is probably even faster.

[Skunk]

yup... It's been awhile...
Good to see you back.

[The Tazman]

Nice one Paul sounds bloody fanTAZtic. Unfortunately I will have to go back to work after the funeral and won't be finished till 21.30 so will not be able to make it.

I am about half way between you and Wellywood and do have spare beds and garage space for bikes if any of the Northern KBers require it. PM me if you do so I can make sure I have enough Tea, coffee and breakfast bits in for you.

[bungbung]

Brilliant idea Paul, count us in... Zapf is staying with us tonight (Thurs) so we can bundle him into the cage. Anyone else need a lift from Upper Hutt? We can take three or four more.

[Ms Piggy]

Hey All - my partner & I have borrowed a cage for the night, we're bringing Str8 Jacket but we can fit 1 more if anyone else would like a lift. I don't finish work until 7 in town so I'm getting pciked up & we'll head stright out.

Hmmm.... am I missing something here. Just a small detail...like...where exactly do you live, Paul?

Yeah, wouldn't mind knowing that too. Otherwise we''ll be eating raw sausages and drinking warm beer on the side of the road in Raumati (again.)

Mate you drive a long haul into work. Are you still based in the middle of town?

Im flying into wellington tonight, but wont be able to make it all the way up there. Thanks for the offer.

[Paul in NZ]

Weather is clearing and currently hot (ish) and wind is dropping - so it's either swinging around to a gale force southerly or coming right...

Paul N

[James Deuce]

Checked the weather report - gale force southerly on the way.

[Blakamin]

still blowing a nor-wester at the moment... no rain, but not really pretty... might get better tho.

[James Deuce]

Southerly here now.

[Terminated]

I intend driving over to 'Paul in NZ' place from here in the Hutt Valley [Stokes Valley/Silverstream end] leaving about 6.45pm

Can take 3 or 4.

PM if you want a lift.

Lucky Paul's house is sheltered in a southerly!

[apteryx_haasti]

Hi Paul - thanks for the invite - after emming and awwwing about it all day, I now can't come because I am suddenly on call.

Have a good time!

PS - we met at the OCt 1 ride - I sat next to you at lunch (and drooled over your bike while you weren't looking...)

[Colapop]

Woulda loved to have made it there Paul - unfortunately "SHE" - who must be obeyed, had a prior arrangement that I had 'conveniently' forgotten about (apparently)... I did stop in at Deano's for a bit on my way home so I've shared. See you on the next time... Hopefully under better circumstances.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Just got back.

Awesome time, some very good stories shared.

Thank you Paul for opening your home for a bunch of rowdy bikers ;)

I just wish it was for better reasons we were having this meet-up :(

Over and out,

RG100!! :)

[riffer]

Yeah, the family had a nice time. Nice to see you again Blakamin - we'll catch up more over summer mate and Paul and Vicky - always a pleasure :) .

The littlest fella had a wonderful time with all the bikes and has now worked out that a Ducati trellis frame has a number of handy places to put one's feet in order to get on the seat - not bad work for a 21 month old...

Cheers to all who made it there.

Yep, thanks Paul and Vicki for your hospitality last night, it was just what a lot of us needed I think. Was lovely to catch up with a few familiar faces and meet so many new ones, and I'm disappointed that I didn't do the social butterfly thing well enough and get around to say hi to everyone (hadn't had enough to drink yet me thinks). Ride/drive home safely all our Northern cousins, take it easy ok.

[Paul in NZ]

Hi folks - thanks for the kind words but seriously - we had a great time and really enjoyed the company. Always GREAT to see old friends and new and while some came and went at various times and the weather was typically vague a stout few carried on until 'mumble mumble' and I'm told i had fun... Must have done because I have a real 'blues' voice this morning from too much laughter...

Hope everyone got to where they needed to be and today ride safely to their destinations.

See you all soon on the road

Paul and Vicki

[ceebie13]

Ah...the morning after the night before aye Paul? 'Twas indeed a very enjoyable evening. Thanks go to you and Vicki for opening up your home to all us renegades. Yeah, as Doris says, it's a shame you can never get to talk to everybody but there will be other occasions without a doubt.

Thank you . Memories of that day will be with me for a long time to come. Awesome. Such a sad day but what a celebration of Bruces life. Watching the Powerpoint pictures, listening to the Fray and Metalica and that ride to the crematorium. I hardly knew Bruce but man I'm going to miss him.

Hi all, great to meet so many of the welly crew..... LB and Hamish, stonechucker, blakemin, Paul and Vicky,Buckbuck, celtic sea lily and hubby, Mrs Kendog, Mr Kendog, Skunk. oh gawd so many names to remember......

Big thanks to Riffer and Mrs Riffer and family for having me in their home Friday night... I really do appreciate it... Riffer even put my bike up on the stand to lube the chain...

You guys are awesome.... just a shame the weather was shite when I arrived and when I left....

Big thanks to Paul and "Pauline". Thanks for playing Bob, and not changing the CD's half way through every song.

Nice quiet night once I got there, must be me.

Saw Busa Pete etc heading north on the way to Pauls, saw them heading out of Palmy this morning. I wonder if they were lost and rode all night. Maybe they followed Postie's directions. Hows New Plymouth guys?

Sure helped finishing a bad week on a more positive note. (was a bit fuzzy the next morning for some reason...fortunately that cleared in time for the coast to coast ride)

[gijoe1313]

Ahh bugger, sounds like I missed a great convocation there - I needed to clear some headspace so I went for a ride out and about the 'takas, then I had to head back to Auntie's for dinner and by then I just pootled around the city...will be back down Wellywood soon and hopefully catch up on some Welly KB rides down there!

Deano's garage was stacked high with piss and there was only one man for the job.

will be back down Wellywood soon and hopefully catch up on some Welly KB rides down there!

We'll look for the plastic fella wearing camos who can only move his right arm up and down if someone pushes the button in the middle of his back then?

Cheers for everything Paul & Vicki !! It was a great night/morning and it showed when we surfaced I feel !! The next night was just as big but thanks to the raining done with you guys we lasted until about 5am !!

It was great to see all usual suspects there, as well as some of the unusual ones :innocent:

Will aim to zip down in the New Year and say hi to you & Vicki but in the meantime MERRY XMAS !!!
