Have a loose plan for a Sunday afternoon/twilight run. Starting around late afternoon and finishing with tea @Naike Caves Cafe covering twisty sealed roads around the North Waikato. Run will start at Huntly and Mercer respectivly so as to appease the Auckland and Hamilton crews, and then the 2 groups will converge and continue on to the cafe for tea, maybe go see the monster wind thingame before tea as it's just a bit further down the same road and it's sealed to the turbine bit. Thinking about 2- 2.5 hrs of scenic Waikato then dinner at around 6pm should have you fed and heading home by 7- 7.30 which still gives decent daylight. I have checked with the cafe and they can be ready and waiting to do us an early tea if I give numbers prior, so there will be none of that swamping a hungie bunch of BFTP'ers tends to do to an eatery. Date will be either 31st or 7th of next month depending on avaliability of a few helpers. Should be able to give a date Friday evening. So who's keen?
Neither date good for me Dodgy. Didn't know Naike was such a metropolis, I'll have to go there one day!
I'd be keen on a run to Raglan...but not late in the day....I HATE THAT FECKIN SOUTHERN MOTORWAY. ......but wait....I'm going to the swapmeet in Hamilhole.
7th would be better for me and Trina. Wont be at swap meet this sunday, probably doing port waikato trip with LOR group from Hamilton. Up SH22 - Hello Dodgey
would have done the ride but going up north in the morning to waipu and working from 1600
You guys feel free to drop in Murray, we will be here
I haven't got an excuse sorted yet,but closer to the date I'm sure I'll fabricate something.Until then,I'll be there.
first round of the AMCC at Hampton this sunday........
Sweet, Motu- if we don't get any interest from the 'other' side of the Bombays then I will probably just meet you near *untly
Other side of the Bombays calling...... thinking of riding to Claudelands to swapmeet ( weather depending)...as I am on the hunt for overpriced rusty Triumph parts. Probably look to be at Claudelands for 8:00 ish...probably take the commuter SS as it needs something other than bus lanes for a treat..... Took the Darmah to work today...... just about warmed up as I arrived in town....
You guys feel free to drop in Murray, we will be here Haven't worked out where you are yet. Been up that way couple of times and cannot see any old spare guzzi part letterboxes???
i'm waiting for some valve shims from the usa, ordered them yesterday, if they get here on time, count me in, Bruno will need a good running in of the new pistons/rings
Went to Claudelands swapmeet this morning....picked up a front brake for the Triumph and a contact for a Bonnie head.....saw Murray and Trina as we left...but by the time brain processed red Honda and GB they had passed. Popped in to see Nike Mike and he was just doing it. The Guzzi museum is coming along nicely, even includes a riding apparel display.
Any updates, takers for the 7th, we would still be keen!!
Yes Murray, I talked to Motu yesterday and he is keen (well, he was mumbling about no time to think up an excuse) so the 7th it is. May as well meet in Huntly, say the power station park with the carving accross the road from the power station at 4pm?
