KB get together?

[paulmac]

Wondering who in the naki is interested in a get together ? Date and location TBA, just seeking expressions of interests at this stage !
# See calander for 20 Sept #

[nadroj]

Yep - me 2.

[martybabe]

why not, good idea. :yes:

[chanceyy]

is this only for the naki or anyone ???

[paulmac]

Any KB'er ( any rider really ) !! Was thinking ride, drinks, food, drinks etc. Maybe a deal on accom. if needed ! Any suggestions welcome

[Movistar]

I'm keen.
Been a long time coming this idea...If you want any help organising this PM me.

[blue eyed savage]

im in :Punk:

[ynot slow]

Me too,how about if in Hawera use Furlong for accomodation,or what about Whanga pub.About $95 per person dinner,breaky and bed,although may not need bed.Boob has cheap deals for us in NP,(mates rates and all that hehe).

Or what about Konini lodge up at Dawson Falls,short run to Kaponga for beer if needed,can have a huge byo cook up in kitchen which makes the cost less.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Seeing as it's for any one pending on dates pete and could be in for this as well.

[fire eyes]

;) more than willing to help with the organisation Paul .. let me know what I can do to help!

[paulmac]

Good suggestions, one and all ! I'm making some enquiries. Dawson fallls under new management and very expensive plus only has 12 rooms ! Furlong also has limited accom but worth a look. NP seems most suitable at this stage depending on numbers! Or something like the manutahi, who would run a van from Hawera ! Watch this space trend setters

[ynot slow]

Flag Dawson Falls itself $300plus for 2,was saying the lodge run by alpine club?Take sleeping bag etc.

Manuathi would be brilliant,as they can put the bikes behind the pub.Alton close by and a nice trip to the damsite.

Furlong would easy hold most 26 rooms etc,but plenty motels as well close to town,depending where everyone wants to eat etc.Maybe the Sth Taranaki club as well for grub.Could suss out numbers and arrange buffet meal at say a pub.

[paulmac]

Manuathi would be brilliant,as they can put the bikes behind the pub.

Also will do a fantastic hangi/bbq in the garden bar ( covered )

Alton close by and a nice trip to the damsite.
Not on my bike it is'nt !!!

Furlong would easy hold most 26 rooms etc,

Looks a good option as all under one roof !! Will check asap.
As always, number depending !! :beer:

[Naki Rat]

Immobilized due to knee surgery in September but otherwise we'll probably be takers on this one. If unavailable keen on next time :drinknsin

[Pedrostt500]

Need to make a trip back to the old stomping ground, let us know a date

[ynot slow]

Same here re dam site,good on an xr500 or similar.

If in September keep in mind the 19th I think there is races at Hawera that day,maybe check the sign outside the gables on Waihi Rd to see what day,as Furlong can be busy,mind you the horse transporter drivers won't be there after races,just night before.

Mmm hangi sounds good.

[Gareth51]

Depending on the date ,I could be in .

[ynot slow]

Races at Hawera Sunday 9 Sept,which means the local pubs won't be to busy Saturday.

[chanceyy]

Manuathi would be brilliant,as they can put the bikes behind the pub.

Also will do a fantastic hangi/bbq in the garden bar ( covered )

Hangi or bbq would be great .. :) (have not had a good hangi for ages :whistle:



Depending on the date ,I could be in .

Gareth of course you'll be in (along with that brother of yours) .. who else would look after me :hug: :shutup:

[Pussy]

Gassit Girl and myself could be keen, depending on work commitments

[Boob Johnson]

Hey all, yep I can do a sharp rate for the KB'er crew. I got a 40 bed hostel so heaps of space, just depends on when exactly as i have large forward bookings. Parking is outside but the lodge is set at the end of a cul de sac down a private drive way so all bikes can be safely parked right out front of the lodge in full view but well away from the road or public view.


Let me know as soon as you have a few possible dates ironed out

[doc]

Wondering who in the naki is interested in a get together ? Date and location TBA, just seeking expressions of interests at this stage !

If you can get a "do" going like the Sth Island Kb'rs can I'm in . Don't want it too big big they can do it with only 30 odd people and it is great. For me it was the journey as well. The trip is part of it. Maybe you will get a few of them crossing the ditch. A couple of :apint: and you have a :banana: party.

[soundbeltfarm]

depending onwhen it is i will be keen.
calving now so pretty tied up.
i dont have road bike no more but will take car or if it out whanga way will ride few dirt roads out there and meet up after it.
if you do a hangi and want a hand, sweet as i got heaps hangi rocks and few rail irons . and a couple baskets of different sizes.

[Pedrostt500]

Must do an around the mountain and a trip out to whanga, october probably suit the farmers amungst us. and probably better weather.

we know a farmer out whanga who joins onto the whanga rd so it makes a good loop.
not sure of the length but a mate on his rm 250 only just makes the loop and he has run out of fuel once.
theres heaps of routes out there up foretry tracks and wot not.
i'm always keen to go out there for a spin.
this info only any good for off rd bikes i guess.

[soundbeltfarm]

if you lot do decide to stay up the lodge at dawsons falls and want a hangi.
i only live about 5 mins from the intersection up to there so could sort the hangi down here at the farm and bring it up.
just depends on when you do it.
or you can do the hangi here and use our vehicle to take it up dawsons if i too busy calving as long as you leave enough for me to have a feed. yum

[Boob Johnson]

A great loop is from New Plymouth area, head north to the 8 mile junction, proceed right to Taumarunui then south onto the famous SH43 to Whanga for lunch then onto Stratford & onto NP again. That is an awesome ride, in either order. Fantastic roads with bugger all cars on them

Has the backblocks of Aotuhia semi sealed road now?We used to tramp and hunt the area back in the late 70-early 80's,the road to walkway was only a track,now seems to be sealed to top of Kohi saddle according to info sheets,likewise the bridge to somewhere used to take about 2hrs walk from the Herlihy homestead,they were good off road tracks for bikes,even better tracks at the time if quads were invented back then.

[paulmac]

Ok, how does sat 20 Sept sound. Sausage sizzle lunch at nominal cost run by local bike shops, great run around the mountain ( not the main road ) Buffet dinner, $32-50 pp, full bar facilities. Accom $95 a double, $110 a twin share, cooked b'fast $ 15pp. All in one location, heaps af parking etc. Also looking at raffles and maybe a bike wash. All in Hawera. More accom a short walk away if needed. ( my mate is the local taxi guy so if you can't walk !! )
Would love to see 50+ bikes !!!

just another thing I thought of .. some of us from the outter regions will have at least a 2-3+ hour ride to get there ... unless we travel fri after work, & it would make a more expensive weekend ....

[ynot slow]

Sounds a good plan,as chanceyy said maybe leave the ride till say lunchtime,if you decide to do the mountain loop from Hawera.

How bout Hawera to Dawson Falls via Skeet Rd(Te Roti end),back down to Strat-Opke Rd to Stratford,onto The Plateau,then to East Egmont via any back road to there,then home via the top loop Wiremu Rd etc,then down Manaia Rd to Manaia nice trip back to Hawera,should take say 3 hour max with stops for pics.If leave at 1.00pm home to get ready around 4.00pm.

[paulmac]

was thinking of leaving hawera bout 1ish, wiremu road thru puki iti gardens, carrington rd, back of inglewood, lake rata piko, taraiki and home. But open to suggestions ! Adventure riders may want to do tongahoi valley to the lake.

[young1]

Sounds interesting. See my post under the Adventure ride forum regarding a TTTTT ride

[pritch]

When y'all get down to the fine detail I would be interested in a ride.

Check on Carrington Road's status as "Atmonauti" aka Dan the Canadian found it was closed a couple of weeks back. Bridges still out after the big rains a while back, and possibly more mayhem to come if the weather gurus have got it right for this weekend.

Plymouth Road, SH45 to Okato and Oxford/Saunders Road is a great alternative.

Whanga for lunch is a must do for any visitors to Taranaki but give the Whanga Pub publican (he's a biker too :niceone:) a heads up to expect extras for lunch.

What Boob suggested would be a good ride,go fm.Up Urenui way, up to eight mile, out to Taumaranui, back (there's only 13k's of gravel & is mint if it hasn't just been graded) to Whanga then gives you the option of turning left or right @ Stratford !!!

Yes, I too like the idea of boobs. :whistle:

No really sounds like a plan, I think you can camp at whmgimnimomonow also.

[Dazza]

Yes, I too like the idea of boobs. :whistle:

No really sounds like a plan, I think you can camp at whmgimnimomonow also.Have done in the past @ the old school which had a couple of cabins aswell, but that was a few years back. There is/was a camp ground @ Tangaraku as well which do/did a good deal.

[soundbeltfarm]

yap you can camp out whanga,
if it wet you can stay in the old school that at camp site.
they got couple showers there that are shit ,
but all the cooking gears and the cabins.
we just tent there when trail riding and they charge us 10 bucks a tent.

[paulmac]

OK, the original plan was for drinks. dinner and drinks ! for those from out of town a ride was possible. Camping at whanga is perhaps a run on its own. Maybe Boob can look at a drinks dinner thing in NP, accom for any out of towners. I was looking for a social occasion for KB'ers to talk shite, a ride is a bonus.
Your thoughts please.
ps: I have just opened my 2nd bottle of red !!

what ever you arrange is fine paul .. could do a camping weekend when the weather improves a bit ..

a ride out at 1pm would be fine for us coming from outta districts .. if we get there on time sweet if not so be it ...

talking shit/bikes all nite is wot its about for sure .. dunna have to be too flash we bikers can rough it if needbe :yes:

[cowboyz]

surely you are not concerned about making Hawera by 1pm???

How slow are those bandits?

[carver]

can the notorious few come?

[chanceyy]

nah not at all .. (actually thought it was NP by 1 but then I am old & deluded so I could have read that wrong)

trying to figure out travel times cause I have never been up that far, & of course having to take care of the ponies before I leave :whistle:

[cowboyz]

that should keep the numbers down.

[chanceyy]

hmm you might even be right there cowboyz .. :scratch:

[cowboyz]

that last comment was for the moron few. Chanceyy replied at wrong time.

Chanceyy. Hawera is < 2 hours from here. leave by 10.45 and will eaisly make it. Ignore police effect and can knock another half hour off that. Even leaving from levin will only require a 10am start.

[carver]

make that mormon few!

Thanks for that Cowboyz & I knew what that comment was for .. how far is NP fr Hawera then ??

but hey no rush .. I prefer not to be on the road with those who think they have something to prove ... so just may take a bit of a detour & arrive late aft

well at least we know that there will be plenty of shit talk with you lot there then .. :yawn:

[cowboyz]

a good 50min/hour to carry on to NP.
Hawera is not far past Waverly really.

[Pedrostt500]

Trail ride down the whangamomana Rd to the wanganui river would be cool with the blessings of the locals, though I understand the Whanga Rd has been in very poor condition for many years.
Keen to go with the flow, though I might have to break down out side the Toko pub for old times sakes.

[fire eyes]

:rockon:

Ohh this thread is rocking! Not to put a dampner on things but people .. September is a bloody wet month especially around here! Camping? If you like it rough .. dont mind a cyclone or two, maybe even throw in the odd tornado! lol .. mind you if yourv been drinking it wont really matter eh!

:shutup:I'll be in my car so happy to drive to where ever is decided for dinner & socializing! The Pub shindig sounds fab, Boobs idea sounds pretty ideal especially where theres room for price negotiation on accommodation/food/Boobs DJing skills (and we better not be listening to Country Music all night either Boobs thats just not cool and I dont care how much you like Willi Nelson lol) ...

Better to centralize the event so that there isnt to much traveling/stumbling involved other than the bike riding, & bike/car/unicycle/moon hopper security will also be a top priority, places like the Furlong Motor Inn/Truckie Stop however handy, is not that secure.

As a first event, the easier to organise the better, then you can gauge the next ones! :woohoo:

Awesome Paul! I'll be keeping a close eye on this.

Quick answers,PNto Hawera 160km easy 2 hour(I did Hwa-PN in 2.0hr with stop at Bulls to thaw out 3 weeks ago with heaps of wind).

Hawera-NP72km easy hour usually 45mins depend on traffic.

Waverley -Hawera 45km nice stop point is big sun cafe.

PN-NP about 250km.

PN-Whanga about 250km.

[nadroj]

can the notorious few come?

As long as you do it in private & wash your hands afterwards.

[nadroj]

As there is cheap accomodation and billets in New plymouth would it not be prudent to make use of these.
As Boob can not be too self serving he can't push his venue as much as it deserves. If his lounge area is too small or full of hot backpacker chicks then a local venue for meal & get together could be used. It is also close to numerous motels for those requiring elite discression.
No matter where a ride starts from, it could end for the day in New plymouth, followed by dinner, drinks & chinwag.
Sunday could take some backroads before returning home.

[paulmac]

I can organise a poker run for sat arvo if interested. Short and simple.
Furlong isn't bad for security, can park your bike right by the door of your unit. No trucks there on a sat.

Probably more relevant to next time, secure parking isn't a big issue at Whanga. According to the publican the locals aren't interested in vehicles that don't have 4WD or facility for bringing home dead pigs :laugh:

Not unusual out there to see the locals ride through town helmetless on a dirt bike with a rifle slung across their back :ar15:

[paulmac]

Whanga pub only has 11 rooms. $100 pp for dinner, bed, b'fast.

[martybabe]

I could prolly offer secure parking for 20-25 bikes in my garage in New Plymouth, that's about a 10 minute taxi ride to boobs and the centre of town.

Perhaps if out of towners park up at my gaff, I could ferry them to Boobs hostel in the fun bus, a night of frivolities in town and then a ride out/home the next day.

It depends if it's to be NP based and whether Boob could accommodate those that wanna stay.

If we did the forgotten highway ride, we could lunch at Whangas then after, there's a split off in Taumarunui where every one could bugger off in there chosen direction.

Just some ideas to throw in the mixer. :niceone:

As Nike says just do it! Most who want to be there will be,if they can't it is a bummer,might have to come by car(doh)as will do a house/tennant check and may not be up till about 4.30pm Saturday at Hawera after working,but don't need to go home till Monday hehe,might utilise my handle at "Barries" on the Sunday.

Can you organise fine weather please.

There's an idea if you do a ride based around Nth Taranaki and meal up in NP,maybe can organise brunch in Hawera for those heading south on Sunday.Allowing for hangovers to clear Sunday morning.

[paulmac]

Will have a yarn with Kevin and boob tomorrow, sort something out. Most likely NP based dinner, drinks. Maybe ride from here after lunch sat, returning late sun am !! Will post details as soon as we figure it out

[cs363]

Could be keen on this, even if it's just a ride on one of the days as not sure what else I've got on that weekend. Will put a reminder on my calendar :)

[sinfull]

And Alton hehe.Kakaramea too.Why not do a pub crawl?

He says this, after stating that he's going in a car !

Heidi and i won't be able to make this one ! Still doin penance for my sins ! 24 sleeps to go !

Shame the dates weren't a week later as H has a wedding to go to that weekend up there, lol could have been an excuse to come along and meet ya's even if we were IN THE CAR

[ynot slow]

Yep going by car,after all if I take the bike it will piss down,so for my sacrifice of driving I will enable fine weather for the rest.

[Patrick]

Awesome... will be in. Might even get Mrs P and some others to come along for the rides. The more the merrier... Spotcha round....

Meeting at Boobs, I think. There is a bar directly below his abode if needed.

As far as I'm aware, we gather at Boob's have a few beers and nibbles and ride out the following day. Accomodation available at Boobs Back packers.

I guess we should dot the i's and cross the t's a bit eh, still a bit unsure of the fine details.

[paulmac]

Marty, partners are more than welcome, this is no different to any social gathering. The one thing we have in common is KB and bikes !
....Ok, so maybe totally different to any other gathering BECAUSE the one thing we have in common is KB and bikes !!!!!!!

And women.Nah is great to have the better halves there,they tell us if we're talking shite too much hehe,surprising how bike savy they get after a year or two of being on the sidelines so to speak.

And after the I'm not f..king getting on the back 18mths ago,to now looking at 250's for her,I have created a monster,still then I could get an upgrade to sportier versions.Then reality kicks in and sore back,arse etc.She didn't like my idea of her learning on a DR250,XR250 trail type,so I could have road and trail.

Yep thats my understanding, meet here on Saturday, some are staying at the lodge, some are local but all welcome to socialise here for the night, drinky poos, food etc or can maxi taxi it to town for drink n food, then ride again the next day, then home.

Just to clarify we have two lodges, one in the city above a bar (shit parking & very loud on a Saturday night) & one near the racecourse (on the CBD fringe) set in the bush with good parking & quiet (except when a load of bikers arrive lol).



ps: The neighbours LOVE the sound of my TL lol..............not

I guess Whangas is a likely ride on Sunday, still to be decided as far as I know. Come and have a Lil drinky at boobs Saturday night, I'm sure that will be a topic of conversation.

Where is this track exactly, is it roadbikeable or just a knobbly excursion.

Anyway do come and say hello, be nice to see you. :apint:

[paulmac]

Whanga might be on for sunday depending on any fragile states !! might be a bit much for our southern riders, allowing time to get home !!

Sat, ride departs North west motorcycles on glover road, Hawera at 1pm. via highway 45, stopping at oaonui visitors center. Then into NP and boob's other place !

[soundbeltfarm]

cool it a birthday ride on sunday for me and a mate since our birthdays are friday ,
will see how the body fairs up on saturday to come up.
i should make the bloody effort since a few are coming from out of the area code.
cheers

[soundbeltfarm]

Errr, I think your in the wrong thread mate :lol: but come and show us your ink on Saturday anyway.

yeah i was doing two at same time but in wrong area.
i've deleted it now mate

[Patrick]

So is there a Sunday ride too or not???

MUst be alzheimers... thought there was talk of a Te Kuiti / Taumarunui / Whangamomona / then home ride on Sunday....????

[paulmac]

Those of us from south will be heading home mid morning. check with blk109 !! about sat ride for NP based riders !

[Patrick]

A great loop is from New Plymouth area, head north to the 8 mile junction, proceed right to Taumarunui then south onto the famous SH43 to Whanga for lunch then onto Stratford & onto NP again. That is an awesome ride, in either order. Fantastic roads with bugger all cars on them

Found it... it wasn't Alzheimers.... is this on?????? Did the ride the other way round and it was great.....

[Movistar]

Sorry for the delay in getting this done! :done:

Plan is as follows:

New Plymouth and surrounding districts riders to meet at Challenge Katere at 11.30 onwards for a 12.00pm departure. (where the truck pumps used to be, behind petrol station building. You can access this from Devon Rd heading north or from Katere Rd).

Make sure you and your steed are appropriately fed and watered!

From here we will head up Katere Rd and onto Egmont Rd, coming out at Egmont Village.

Continue on to Stratford where we will regroup at the old tavern on the left just past the second round about (diagonally across from Malone's (where the toy run usually stops).

Then we will take Celia St\Opunake Rd on the right through to Opunake and rendezvous with the Southerners there at 1.30pm.

The next stop is just up the road at Oanui where those that want to can go through Oanui Vistors Centre (there is no charge for this).

Once we have talked enough crap here we will head through to New Plymouth where we can regroup again just inside the 50kph zone so those that want to and don't know the way can travel en masse to Boobs place (Timandra Street) for more bullshit and an ale or two to wash it down with! (watch out for the front door there, it's idiot proof :whistle: )

A big thanks to everyone who organised and to Boob who provided the end venue and a few other goodies. It was a great day and very enjoyable ride. Glad I could meet a few of the riders on KB. Some of you even seem like pleasant people! :p

[martybabe]

Blimey, that was a good day.

Just a few thank-yous:

Paulmac for the idea and execution thereof, Nadroj and Boob, for picking it up and running with it and anyone else involved in making it happen.It was a credit to your efforts, well done guys.

Pritch008; for taking a stranger under his wing and making me feel very welcome amongst a sea of strange faces.

Blkm109r; for the great piccies, that's my first action shot on the 14, what worries me though is I never saw you take it, which doesn't say much for my radar spotting skills does it. admit it, you were lurking in a bush. :laugh:

Too many others to mention but it was great to meet you all, not a single one of you resembled my mental image of you, especially Shafty who doesn't actually have a lovely pair of jiggling bosoms :(

I know I had a good night because as I left I asked Boob what Hitchers first name was so I could say goodbye?? anybody else see Hitcher there??? :lol: Old age and booze don't mix mmkay.

Thank you all, here's to the next one. :niceone:

Yep, I missed that one!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.


I've got a list of peoples names (including the ones that couldn't make it) so will keep that for the future. No doubt there will be a whole list of new people that will join KB before the next get together so will keep on top of that as well.

Thanks also has to go to those from out of Taranaki that made the effort to come visit us, it was great to meet you and look forward to seeing you again.

Also if anyone wants a high res copy of a pic, PM me your email and I'll send it to you.

As I said earlier, Great Day, Great Company, Great Ride.


No doubt we'll catch up again soon, it'd be a good idea to add everyone (or at least those that you want to!) to your "Friends" list.
Easy way to keep in touch and see if anyone wants to go out for a ride sometime too...

[paulmac]

Thanks to all for making it a great day out and a great night in !! Paul, top effort thanks, boob, likewise. Appreciate the use of your place. sandra, bryce - thanks for riding up and saying hi. Great to meet you all and we'll do it again sometime. Maybe we can start a taranaki posse .............

[Naki Rat]

I've got a list of peoples names (including the ones that couldn't make it) so will keep that for the future.

Seems I missed a great event and would definitely appreciate a heads-up on any repeats. Have to admit I tried the Sprint on for size this weekend but unfortunately the rebuilt knee doesn't quite bend that far yet, and if my surgeon found out... :nono:

Next time :niceone:

I'm hoping to see some more pics of all the different bikes grouped together (like at Oaonui or at the backpackers) or more riding shots. I'm going to have to buy my own digital camera if we do this more often. :niceone:

And if anyones got some pics of me on my black 2006 zx10r that would be appreciated.

[martybabe]

I've got a few but the computer's being an utter utter arse. I'll whack a couple up tomorrow when it's had some time to think about it's actions on the naughty step.

Here's one for now.

[nadroj]

Where's ya pics Sandra? I'm dying to put some up.....

[chanceyy]

Where's ya pics Sandra? I'm dying to put some up.....

[pritch]

I tried the Sprint on for size this weekend but unfortunately the rebuilt knee doesn't quite bend that far yet

Keep doing the physio.

My bike was at Robt Taylor's, so every three days or so I'd visit Energy Honda and see if I could bend the knee far enough to get on one of the VFRs in the showroom. It took a month before I could ride.:ride:

Could ride the moped after only a few days though.:scooter:

Good luck

[martybabe]

Here's a few more, if you expand them to max they ain't too bad.

[Dazza]

Looks like you all had a good weekend, got a call from a mate late Friday arvo to see if I could double him up to Haldanes to pick up an 03 Ducati 999, think I may have seen a couple of you heading South early Saturday morning. Bloody fog through the Uruiti Valley 2 up @ 0710hrs wasn't that pleasant, got down to 2.2degrees & the ice warning light was on, nice :niceone:not.

[Boob Johnson]

Well all I can say is im a little disappointed, I would of expected a lot more spitting & swearing n stuff from a bunch of bikers :oi-grr: :laugh:


Thanks to all those that came, was a great weekend, great to meet all those that I hadn't prior, always nice to put a face to the name. And a big thanks to Pauly Mac, Paul & Kev for organising the rally. Twas a very entertaining evening indeed. I think the highlight for me was the big purple ball being kicked swiftly across the room at someones head missing them but collecting a table full of bottles & glasses :lol: The look on everyones faces was priceless, all I remember was thinking "don't look at me I ain't cleaning that up" :rofl:


ps: come on Kev crack out the pics, I saw u taking heaps :corn:

[soundbeltfarm]

Sorry i couldn't make it people.
these last few days have been the worst in my farming carrer i think.

i woke up on my birthday to a cow with black mastitis so after treating her then milking then giving her more therapeutic drugs iv i thought she be sweet but no on sunday morning she dead.
on saturday had to calve 1 cow during the day which i rang the vet to come help but befor ehe got there i managed to get the little calf out,
milking time sat arvo a cow sat her arse in the only little hole in the paddock and when she went to stand up couldn't stand up and tipped into the hedge so she was blown up like a balloon so had to stab her to release the gasses.
only had a stanley knife but it got the job done.
call the vet at 3.30pm thinking i'll still get to NP after milking well typical of my luck lately vet arrives at 6 and takes hour and half to check her all out and sew up the hole i'd given her.
by time i check the cows it was getting on near 8pm shattered went home and showered and crashed .
come sunday all ready for trail ride but no my shithouse luck continues.
2 cows calved down run off so had to truck them home and miss my trail ride.
and my bad luck continued today but im over talkin about farming.
im tired and sick of farming at the moment.
think i'll become a male whore and become a school teacher.
i better nake the next Taranaki KB meet.

[ynot slow]

Got to say that part of farming isn't the best,this time of year especially.At least you didn't have a cow go down with milk fever on the bloody turntable(yet),and half slip off the platform,thank god she responded to magnessium injection lol and got to feet.And that I wasn't a couple of feet closer when she dropped.

Don't need another tornado this year.

[Patrick]

Shit felt better today just lol,bloody sore throat arrived,not sure if from the chuck or the chilly evening with tee shirt jandals etc and onset of a cold.Think it might be over embibing in amber nectar.Well positive thoughts to ward off the flu lol.Also the trip from NP-Hawera was ok,till I saw the jungle the tenants created,then amazing how slow the ride from Patea to Wanganui is when trying to sleep.

Yep and the one where he painted the guys Porsche,he thought it was the black Porsche,instead of the back porch.

Also do not ever enter Sydney airport and as you get to customs talk to fellow kiwis about the B.T.James skit about entering Oz,the immigration guys asks you have a record,Billy says "nah mate ya still nedd one to get in?"Do not say this within earshot of any immigration guy,they don't get it or are still upset about their colonisation history.

Yeah some of the P n P runs last year were way to short for my liking & not overly imaginative, but a group ride all the same. I often ride with a weekly group that meet at the Caltex next to Maccas every Thursday around 5:30 to 6, those rides are long & always interesting, Malcolm spends a fair amount of time preparing the route each week even to the extent to incorporate the sun setting to minimise sun strike etc :first:
