Pritch n Janno's fabulous birthday weekend January 12/13th.

[janno]

So, the old fart is getting older, and I'm just coming in to my prime. Having b'days three days apart means we thought a birthday ride through some Taranaki back roads would be the go on Saturday. Then park up, partake in multitudinous beverages, eat far too much and talk a load o'shite.

This is an open invite to anyone and everyone who feels like coming along. New Plymouth is stunning at this time of year so you out of towners who feel like proving to yourselves that there is a mountain, now's your chance! Plenty of bed space to be had, and we are half way between Wellington and Auckland, so don't be shy.

Suitable present for Pritch - either a zimmer frame or a nubile, willing dancing girl in a g-string, haven't worked out which yet.

Suitable present for me - Lotto ticket and or chocolate, the darker the better. Milk chocolate is for gurlz . . .

Hope you can make it, especially those of you whom I had the pleasure to meet on the Wellington Cheesecutter ride.

Jan.

I WILL BE THERE!

what times it start? i wont be there till at least 4 on the saturday, maybe a bit later [finish work at 2] course... i could always call in sick...:innocent:

fuggit... im gonna call in sick! aint never had a sick day in over 2 years, so think its time!

EDIT: im guessing its byo food and drinks? nadroj... if you read this, im bookin the back of your bike. aint no way im riding those roads on the 250. [plus it might give me a chance to take some photos!]

[chanceyy]

ohhhhhhhhhhh now I have just changed shifts so not working that sat/sun .. hmmm looks like the naki it is .. never been before so perfect ...


1 bed for me plz jan :D

[janno]

Excellent, ladies!

Have absolutely no friggin idea what we are going to do yet, Pritch n I will be having a planning session tomorrow, methinks.

But ride somewhere Saturday, lunch, ride back to base. About 3-400km in total should be nice and easy for everyone. Then Saturday night have a relaxing and rather alcoholic dinner somewhere nice but not too expensive, or else fall back on the good old barbecue.

I'm making a huge chocolate mud cake for afters. You only have to look at it and you go up a size, but tastes divine.

Open to suggestions . . .

[chanceyy]

sounds good Jan but we can all bring food for BBQ and its cheaper :2thumbsup on up side not far to go when ya had a few to drink :lol:

ohh yeah can you save another bed .. dragging another pirate with me from the sounds of it :devil2:

[ynot slow]

Easy on the "old" there.Wasn't that long ago I thought the folks were old at 40,shit gone past that.Seriously though,I have a 2 room tent,last years birthday pressie and still a virgin,might have to put it up sober,so suggest maybe the week before lol,could drop off in car day before?Sleeps about 45 by size of it.Get lots of porta loos.

As for ride,how about 30 min spin up North Egmont then back to base,more drink time:bash:

Also sounds really naff but the bowl could have some reasonable sounds going with the lights in park,for those that haven't seen them an option,then maybe really hit the piss.

Restaurant choice is huge too,or bbq,but then that means some bugger has to play chef,bbq next day good idea when hungover.Memo to self take monday off.

[chanceyy]

:killingme .. tony I hear the boys do a good job of the BBQ so you offering ??? :nya:

never been naki way before so keen to do a few roads .. & maybe forgotten highway on the way home .. depending on how the hangover is :whistle:

[sunhuntin]

COLAPOP can be chef. he makes good cave fire!

[janno]

Oooh, yes, forgot about that. Strolling through the Pukekura lights is compulsory summer fun in New Plymouth. And they are really cool - but don't go to the black light area if you have dandruff.

I was thinking about $25 per head or under for dinner, hopefully that'll be within everyone's price range. When we get more of an idea of numbers I'll talk to one of the yummy local bistros and see what they can do for us.

Can we ride through the park lol.Wear a helmet re dandruff.

Am ok on bbq,but not good mpb(meat per beer).

[QUOTE=chanceyy;1342139]:killingme .. tony I hear the boys do a good job of the BBQ so you offering ??? :nya:

Not bad,must have been the fact I wasn't cooking,did my time fixing the fence,bastard kids of Als neighbourhood.

Took a while to work out why the plate wasn't heating up on sunday,bloody dumb idea you need gas in bottle.

Forgotten highway best done going to event or incorporated into it,not great if hungover.

Will sort out a good cafe for you to have a break when coming through.

[chanceyy]

hmmm well I really wanna do it soon .. ohh well may have to do the long loop to get to janno's then :whistle:

[ynot slow]

What's the NP club like,heard it was great,as long as a few members of chartered clubs turn up,we can sign most of us in,cheap meals and booze.

[chanceyy]

am member here :D

[ynot slow]

Heres an idea lol,go to boxing day at wanganui,head up this way that night(bed here)do forgotten highway day after and either return back or go home Taumaranui way,nice trip on a good day,as per pics from Manawatu fellas rides.

[ynot slow]

am member here :D

Bugger forgot the cossie club was letting ladies in as members:crybaby:

Ours was awhile letting ladies join,farken old farts,that's why we get country music,crap bands playing etc.

As soon as a job is got,know of any lol,can attach doors to furniture and kitset entertainment cabinets with ease lol.Have a couple of applications in pipeline.

Wasn't too worried about selling house as my bank manager suggested with influx of oil workers rent would be easy to get around $275.Covers most of bills required,had a mate to look at the place and will rent it,but then offered the wife a great price,might sell,(make over 75000)if that happens can buy a home in Palmy,and enjoy the wife working as she thinks she has a job,recruitement agency rang last week thinking she was in Palmy asking her to start the next day,if sold could take at least sixmonths off and still pay mortgage,damn that sounds good.Nah spent9 months off work with cancer and that sucked,only good part was radiation in Palmy for 6-8 weeks,hence we enjoyed the place then and still do,so reason why want to live there.

[Trudes]

We will do our bestest to come along kids, will let you know closer to the time.:woohoo:

[ynot slow]

Well after hijacking the thread with Sandra last night :Oi:.

Anyone who is coming up from South of the naki,if you need a bed or place to stay let us know,there is a hotel/motel complex on main rd called The Furlong,good place to stay,(3-5 mins stagger from ourplace),leave your bikes at our place safe and sound,garage and dog patrolling section.Have good bar meals(last time there).Only 45 mins from NP(100kph).:niceone::apint:

Mmmm, valrhona, I accept your donation to the cause. Pritch informs me he wants a dancing girl with big bazookas. Probably something to do with his interest in guns and weaponry I suppose . . .

[lealand]

Swt
Sounds GR8 any one heading to boxing day wanganui there are a bunch of us heading there from NP

B

[ynot slow]

In two minds whether to go down xmas evening or on the day,went for ride last night around 8.30pm,shit setting sun was pain,need to be home before then,was just at visor level.

[blue eyed savage]

i will try and b there. let u know later. any other rides in NP just let me know and i'll b there

[sunhuntin]

what time is this shin dig planning on starting? need to know asap so i can organise a cover for saturday morning. will ride up friday after work and crash, and then be fresh for saturday/sunday. was gonna come up saturday pm, but dont want to miss the ride!

chanceyy... disreguard the pm i sent you... should have re-read the thread first. :blonde:

[chanceyy]

wot time are you looking at starting ride on sat ??

[ynot slow]

Hows the planning going,almost counting down the sleeps.Might be working sat morning not sure on roster,will check next week when back at work.

[sunhuntin]

looks like my plans might have to change... it doesnt look like im going to make the ride on saturday am, which sucks ass. highly unlikely ill get anyone to cover. i finish at 2, which means itll be 4 by the time i get there. mega suck. :pinch:

will do my best to get a cover this week, but it doesnt look likely.

[ynot slow]

I'd say you might miss part of the ride,maybe depends where they go to,say they do reverse of round the mountain,via mokau,awakino,whanga,then through stratty,maybe go round coast to NP,that would mean maybe in Hawera say 3 ish or so,that would enable you to join in and do the surf highway part,shit if I work that could be good idea too.Even if you leave at 2ish,we could go with you to NP,as said might have to work.

[sunhuntin]

last i heard from janno was an estimated 11am start, but that was still up in the air. i might tackle the young guy and see if he wants to start at 9ish? but then hed be working 9 till 6, which aint that bad. will ask him tomorrow.

[janno]

Well, guys, galivantings and celebrations are off. The boffins are playing around with my meds at the moment, the result being I feel about as exciting as a cup of cold sick.

So no riding, celebrating or copious quantities of chocolate for moi . . . Pritch may or may not still do a ride, I dunno as yet.

[chanceyy]

no prob chick .. just hope things settle for you soon enough ... have a good b day though :hug:

[Stickchick]

Awww thats a shame, Jrandom and I were looking forward to coming down. Hope you feel better soon and there will be plenty of time that we can bring your chocolates down for you.

[nadroj]

In that case I will speak to Mr Jrandom tonight and I will be in touch :niceone:
