Dunno where but it'll be somewhere southish, consensus will decide.
Meet at my work at 10.30 am, leave 11ish. (Manukau Auto and Tyre, corner of lambie and cavendish drives, Manukau, just round the corner from the warehouse)
There's a BP within wheelie distance from there.

all welcome.


won't be too fast, after recent events my enthusiasm for this has faded a little.

May I suggest the Burt Munro technique?

1) Take mower round to fron of house
2) Get mower fuel
3) Take mower fuel to back of house and liberally apply to lawn
4) Ignite

Good ride. Sorry I didn't get to meet a lot of you guys but Dover doesn't like it when I speak to other people. I'll need to work on that.

Poos thought he would get the MV on one wheel (quite easy really) but I think it had a bit too much power for the wee lad. Snappy throttle my arse. It's a man bike boy.
