Well, we have been home for a week and posted neither a ride report or thanks to all those who hosted us.. so mucho apologies!
I can't post a ride report as I was lagging behind in the cage, so will leave it to the boys to do that.
So....
First, a HUGE thanks to Nadroj for driving 2 hours to pick up me and my bike after my wee off, carting us back to NP and being at my Mums to greet me when I returned from hospital the next day...
Also for the BBQ, and turning on the only bit of sunshine we had while we were in the Naki.
Sensei, your skills on the barbie are awesome mate - if you ever need a change of scene....
Was good to meet some of you naki boys
The McBins - Wonderful hospitality! Your little ankle biter is so cute..and the kids are gorgeous too! I know that hXc really enjoyed playing with that pussy,and misses it terribly!!:yes: He'd love to have one just like it at home, but alas..it ain't gonna happen.
It was good to meet so many of you on the 250 ride, and thanks to you lot that helped me and the McBin kids get safely over to the pub, special thanks to the guy who carried my handbag - you are prolly really glad that I can't remember your name....it matched your gear better than the "Thomas the Tank Engine " bag tho'..
Micro - it was good of you to help us find our way to Busa Petes, sorry for moaning about the lane changing thing, tis harder to do it in a cage tho'...
The Busa Petes - a great party and wonderful hospitality. Thanks for the awesome breakfasts every morning, yummy!
It was neat to meet so many Aucklanders/Norflanders...even the scary ones.
Thanks to Colapop for carrying me upstairs - apologies to those whose first glimpse of me was my rear end... you can't argue with Colapop tho - well, you could, but that would be really silly...especially if you can't run away!
SPB and Qkkid - you were great at clearing a path/seat for me, when i wanted to go outside..really appreciate it. I was terrified someone would knock me off my crutches!
Wendy, the retail therapy was awesome - if I can't ride my bike, then I need to go shopping for new lingerie,eh... exactly!
Baby B - it was great to meet you at last, i hope you had a wonderful time in Aus
Aj- good barbie skills mate - you could get a rep as a kitchen bitch if you keep that up....
It really was great to meet so many of you and fantastic that KB's roadside rescue service works so well - although I would have preferred not to have needed it!
Cheers to you all - you are a wonderful bunch of people!
Now get back to work - ya lazy sods!
