I was wondering if anyone going from Auckland to Palmerston north today? Need small parcel delivered. Coil replacement for my dead Triumph. It got shipped into the DHL office today from Aussie, but no courier companies can get it to me before tuesday...

If you are heading down this way, can you please call/txt me on 027 408 8855


Many many thanks!
Jack

Haha that could work. My old man lives in Opunake (well pihama) and he could probably take it into Hawera put it on the bus and I pick up from there...

Flick me a text if you want?

Jack, do a search for Rock2wgtn threads, I know there are people driving down from Hamilton to Wellington. Someone might be able to be a courier for you! Good luck!

Met with Ynot slow and his wife in Hawera. The "package" has made it safely to Del in Palmerston North.

A kwaka lost it's starter button and Grub dropped the same bike trying to bump start it in Wangvagas. :spanking: Right in front of a nice :Police: no less. Unfortunately I didn't see this event but have it on good account it is true. No serious damage though.

Left the rest at Cafe Cuba nattering away. Some blokes from down south on an assortment of Harleys etc turned up a said gidday. A couple of them seemed quite interested in the 550F.

I'm sure Chancey and Grub will be along in good time...............

never know when you may be in that situation & need a helping hand yourself but it was a pearler day & not a heck of a lot of traffic & most got outta the way pretty quickly so it was a fun trip ...

esp since betsy was not stripping any bits today :shutup:

too true bonez .. & with such stirling company made it even more enjoyable .. esp those twisties outside wangas :D & the halcombe road on the way home :whistle:

Any excuse to meet up with unknown kb members is a good excuse.Shame about the drop,bugger.:spanking::(

Would've liked to go further but lack of rego gave me crap,especially when you see a :Police: on a country road lol.

Nice blast around back roads after I left you guys,forgot about cowshit and milking times,even though lack of grass the cockies are still trying to get as much $$$ out of their cows,can't wait to see the vets bills come calving this season,cows with not much condition and still milking them.

Overall a good group of people,shame about the waiting staff,never seen the one at the counter before,shit when you ask for two coffees,and sit less than 5mt away and still they go looking for the customer, wtf is she on??Still no surcharge so good on em for that.Mind you the food makes up for it,will have a quiet word to bar manager tommorrow or next day or so.:apint:

Been doing a lot of that lately. Mind you it has been a fullmoon ............
