You have had an excellent year on 2 wheels. I hope to join you on rides in 2010

Well done and best wish and happy riding for 2010

Hi John, I was one of the two bikes that retired, the knee replacement kept going north and I headed south from Ratahei. It was my first attempt at such a long ride in one day, next time I'll fit a windscreen to my cruiser. Thanks to Jeff and Christine for a great day.

Good write up Koro - congrats on another biggie!

No worries about loosing me: it was my bad management / luck: hell, I normally get 330+ out of a tank, I ran out at 270 and that included 1/2l from the extra reserve under the seat.

Anyway... who would want to do a GC and not have a good story to tell ;-)

Awesome Koroj, even though you & steve are mad as

can appreciate the sore butt I know I will have that prob on the captial 1000k ride

Enjoyed the ride John, and my first time up to the windmills. Quite spectacular views of the jaggie pointed mountains in the distance. Thank you.

It's always - Ride! My colleagues at Marcus Evans, are so crazy about bikes that they have lunch on them. Sheeesh!

Well done John... Good to see you have finally caught up! I will be interested to see how the Z6 goes. Not looking forward to that "tank slapper" though!

:-)

damn awesome read John... hmm tempted to try one of these rides one day ... but then I might be hooked good & proper

:niceonce:

A great example of living life to the max.

Thanks ... and thanks again ... you know it was an entirely special ride.

Three of your high points also apply to me and also the one terrible low point. Regarding the cost of riding - yep it ain't cheap but I reckon it's an investment in maintaining ya sanity!

All the best for the New Year John and see ya out on the road soon!

Thank you for posting John, I appreciate it and am thankful that you can post this here for us all.

Well done on an excellent piece of organisation John. I certainly enjoyed the day very much and was sorry to hear the sad news on my arrival at the PWMC at about 2100. Awesome effort form Ron and Jim too. Thanks Guys.

My man and lover ... he was so special .. and he looked forward to this ride all year ... I am happy for a couple of things ... he died doing what he loved .. and he died with people surrounding him ... I am just so very thankful for that. You know .. its right .. we discussed the risks of riding .. and its something that we were/are both keenly aware of. We agree totally that when you accept this risk that it is ok ... and we accepted them as partners as well.
