I'm keen but got something on that day. Let you know in a couple of days.

[eastlight]

The 350 should be up and running by then. I'll most probably spend that weekend riding around this end of HB to sort it out. If, on the other hand, I have total faith in my Motorcycle Mechanical Prowess (gotta stop drinking), I'll join ya!

[bart]

OK, had to get my priorities right. I'm in for the Saturday. A mate of mine might join in if he's not working.

..or..would Sunday be better ?

This date is not good for me. How about weekend after ?

Damn. This will teach me to consult with my wingman before setting a ride date.
XRJohnny is riding as Tail-end Charlie for the HBAR, and needs to be on this ride.
Bart, do you think you can change your plans to ride on Saturday 20 Sep?
This will also give Eastlight another week to sort out his 350.
Sorry 'bout that.:(

[jezzaNZ]

Hi Tony can't do the 13th but may be able to do the 20th. Jez

[Tony W]

How you doin'?
If Bart can make the 20th, the change will be official. Bart has the local Knowledge.

[bart]

Sorry......off to China for work on the 20th. Away for a week. Bit pissed about missing the Taranaki job also.:angry2:

Bloody rice and road kill for a week.:sick:

[Tony W]

Looks like I'll be riding on the 13th and the 20th in that case!

I'll meet you at the Mobil then, Bart?

[bart]

Nice to see you're keen, but don't put yourself out mate.

But hey, if you're keen on two trips, I'll show you a few shitty dirt tracks:2thumbsup

Tony, I may be keen but have childcare duties....the wee fella is keen (my son that is) so it may be 2up. Is the route suitable for that?:banana:

The Little Manuhara. This is an unused linking road between Waihi Valley Road and Manuhara Road (Pongaroa). About 3 or 4 km through, and not much more than a farm track.

It was a bit wet in places yesterday, but great fun when dry.

[Tony W]

Awesome ride today. Thanks a lot guys. Can't wait for November.
