If Seedy is back from his ocean adventures, he can lead it, otherwise I might. Route will be simmilar to the last one but I also found a nice road from Huntly that links into SH22 and will try and include it somehow. Will try and do a map. Any capacity machine will be suitable. I will most likely take my 500cc. Use this thread to arrange meet up points for Southies and Hammy crew and any other waffle that has some or no relevance to the actual ride, in true BFTP tradition
How can Seedy lead it.?...moderns are at the back.
He aint sold the Mk2 yet.... or got his Katana going...
im in....one week back at work....will need to blow the cobwebs out....
Give us a bit of a timeline, might meet you up at wanignaro or somewhere
I'll bring a trailer along for his Katana. He obviously doesn't love it enough. Hmmmm I seem to be signed up already
yes dodgyiti....that was a cunning link.........almost a spam......
Depends if the Darmah wheel bearing and swingarm rebushing is done....failing that there is Toaster.
Shit! just realised. Can't make it as I'm traveling back from Ohope on the 17th
good on you, dodgy, i was contemplating posting a ride myself but happy as to just ride and not have to think where i'm going, lol a decent departure time as well!
I can now confirm via ship-to-shore phone, that the illustrious Seedy Gonzalies currently known as Capn' Seedy, is making port on the 11th and is hanging out to plunder the cafes of Raglan, he will set sail and lead the ride and not miss any of the turns and end up in Meremere Village again
cmoore yes dodgyiti....that was a cunning link.........almost a spam...... heh hehe good one eh? Murray- we will give you an approx time if you want to meet up more South. Will wait till Seedy is back on land and see because last time we missed out a decent chunk of the Eastern side of SH1 before we crossed over to the West Raglan side. This time he promises to get the entire route in, which we all await... so not sure exactly of times/places.
Arn't you lot sick of the holiday job lists yet? Spending 'quality time' with SWMBO? Mitre 10? Being nice and festive to people you don't particulary like? Gardening, and the bastard lawns that keep having the nerve to grow and be mowed? Traffic, shopping and other pestulant pastimes? Sign up! It's only one day out from the grindstone! Dr Dodgy knows best Trust me, I is a doctor
You looking for a ride? That Duetz Cafe sounds like a good spot to relax. Going to pop down to the garage to play at setting up a workshop. Can be texted on 0212279518
