Well, I havent gone out and bought the arseless chaps and the tassles yet but Harley Tours New Zealand have had me out on one of their wallowy beasts again!

The Event was Vodofone Heroes - a big corporate bash in auckland to say thankyou to all the staff who have done well in the last year.

Our mission was to cruise out with Vodofone staff after their fabulous buffet lunch and private rock concert with Opshop to take them to their next venue.
Vodofone had paid Harley Tours NZ and Hummersines and the Bacardi Party bus to transfer 150 staff between venues in the city.

It was a hoot, some of the staff were incredibly excited about riding on the back of a harley -pfffft! the Hummer Limos were pretty cool until they had to turn around on the top of Mount Eden and the Bacardi Party Bus was rockin with cool sounds and shooter girls

All in all a good day out- better than a real job!:Punk:

Whoah nothing like having an excitable Vodafone girl on the back of your road barge as you negotiate Auckland's traffic! What a hoot.

Vodafone corporate event?

In Auckland?

Glorified taxi?

Sounds horrible, I would have avoided it like the plague.

It was nice to bump in to you at BK. pity I didn't meet you earlier. (ended up late for work)

How was the ride back? And did you catch up with the person you were looking for?

P.s. For your enjoyment and amazement. A pic ofthe panniers we talked about. They give the bike and overall width of 104cm

Sorry about the bad quality but i had to zoom and crop to get the pic.

Why do they stick out so far? There's a sizeable gap between the panniers and bike... :confused:

Indicators, and fittings.

Also Givi don't make panniers for the CS model so we had to use a GS model frame and modify it to fit the CS bike.
