Manawatu beds/visits, etc

[chanceyy]

hi guys

dunno if anyone has seen this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1745141#post1745141) .. but kber coming to the manawatu looking for a bed .. can anyone help him out

thought this would be a good thread to help others out

[Dani-D]

I would have however, Tuesdays is cheap movie night in town and it would be rude to not be there at home with the guy and also I don't know of the guy - the whole safety thing, you know and I have my boarder to look out for.

[Bren]

i would help out if i had a house up there :lol:...little too early for me./...

have never meet a dodgy kber yet & had a few that I have either stayed with or they have stayed with me. Even house sat for a couple that I had met once. I understand your concerns though. Most kbers seem to be very appreciative of the ability to stay with others around the country & do not abuse it .. great way to meet others with bikes as an interest as well

How the hell did you get a name like Meanie?:lol:

I've shied away from houseguests since I had the guest from hell. Lost the plot, wandered around outside with no clothes on, let the dog go free, bailed up and terrified my partner, crapped in three beds and left shit all over the bathroom (I really do mean SHIT):Oi:. All in less than 24 hours!
I hope that doesn’t put you off!

[Nasty]

Sounds like you had a bad experience Ferris .... I feel lucky that we have had twenty or so Kbers stay at our place and no one has done anything like that yet. or anything bad fullstop ... I hope that continues for me and grub and that your luck with guests changes!!

Don't worry too much about being kidnapped. Your rapidly cooling carcass will be dumped in a hole someplace, its your bike the host would be after.

Enjoy your trip.

Drinks? You're a student right. I don't think there's enough stock in Manawatu.

What day are you riding to Wellington? Have they scared you yet? I think they're pussies.

I will indeed (even expecting rain all the way from Mon to Thur)

And nah, Wellington crew is yet quiet. I may arrive Wellington on Tuesday but then prob head straight up to PN again.

I don't really expect to meet many people tho. I mean, who am I to say "Meet me! meet me! I am from Auckland! I am kinda famous on KB so you must meet me! meet me!" you know? haha but I will accept Meanie's hospitality.

[EJK]

However it will be awesome to meet some KBers whom I have never met before! :sunny:

Not much in plan... Take some photos around the place and maybe have some lunch? The weather ain't looking healthy so I would prefer myself to find a shelter! haha

[Mom]

I don't know of the guy - the whole safety thing, you know

Maha and myself have just got back from a trip around the place and were the benefactors of hospitality from some wonderful KB members who had never met us either. We have hosted I cant tell you how many ourselves. Wise to be cautious certainly, but one look at this fellas profile should reassure everyone he is OK! I have met him, I did not see him eat children or anything, so you should be sweet :yes:

Thanks for that. Oh by the way my plan is to go to Wanganui by Monday and go to Wellington on Tuesday, then on that afternoon ride up to Palmerston North for the accomodation. We could meet in between Wellington and PN.

He is very tired... :sunny:

The road/ gorge from Otorohanga to New Plymouth via SH3 is quite amazing... Thank goodness the rain started to pour AFTER I finished passing the gorge... phew....

Am currently at an accomodation in Wanganui, will hit the road around 9-10am so I may reach Wellington around 12-1pm.


Grrr... its not fair, how come Maha gets all the sun? <_<

Take it easy. Overcast and showers forecast for tomorrow and it's about 5 hours riding Wanganui - Wellington - Palmerston North. You'll probably be leaving Wellington in the rush so have patience. Text or call if any problems whatever. I will meet you part way. There are lots of KB contacts on that run.

Great to meet you EJ. I know you'll enjoy your visit at Ashhurst. Hopefully better weather on the trip home. Take care, wind it up but don't blow it up.
