jrandom -- Welcome to Wellington!

Best call on my mobile. We're currently "enjoying" a line fault on the home phone.

**StoneChucker** · 26th March 2005, 10:06

jrandom can't make it till 14:00. Since he's an ORKlander, we should probably wait for him

So...

I reckon to conserve time we should be gassed up at the start?
Leave WMCC at 14:00
Leave Haywards 14:35
With our leaving time, it might be a ride over the hill, and maybe to Martinborough. We, or at least I wouldn't be able to go any further.
I have to be home by 17:00. I'm going out for dinner. Come to think of it, don't forget you are too jrandom

1400 Hours - Depart Wellington Motorcycles.

Sounds good to me. So how much interest do we have???
Would be good if those intending to come along could reply.

I just hope the rain holds out, It's been pretty good for the past three to four hours.

**MrMelon** · 26th March 2005, 12:28

Oh shit, I'm gonna have to come down now aren't I! Can I bring the street magic?

**Dafe** · 26th March 2005, 12:44

Hey Guys, Bad as News!!! It's Pissing down and it's probably coming down from Wellington right across the Rimutakas also.
I went for a recce ride and my apologies guys, I'm already soaked and frozen so I'm back home now sulking with my SV1000. Had a few nice slides too on the way, so take it easy, theres heaps of grease on the roads.

**MrMelon** · 26th March 2005, 12:47

Oh crap where was it raining? It's still sunny as here in Hataitai!

**Dafe** · 26th March 2005, 12:54

It's stopped in the hutt now. It started raining in Porirua, I rode down Ngaraunga Gorge and back to the Hutt, It was raining the whole way. But the suns showing again in the hutt now. I'm bailing coz I hate the grease after the rain.

**StoneChucker** · 26th March 2005, 13:03

Well, I will be at the Haywards at 14:30 if it's not raining. I'll just take it real easy (like always) re: grease on the roads.

WHY, oh god WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY can't we have some decent long weekend weather? Is this punishment for all our sins? I didn't eat the bloody apple, give me a break!

**Dafe** · 26th March 2005, 13:06

Have you met VTWIN yet? He has the same bike as your's. You can compare notes (he has quite a few nice mods, and has just geared down, or up, or whatever the hell gives you better acceleration...)

**StoneChucker** · 26th March 2005, 13:50

If I were betting my first born, I'd say it was going to rain. But I'm not, so I'll be there, but I'll be turning back if it starts to rain hard.
Update before I leave

**Groins_NZ** · 26th March 2005, 14:16

It's started raining here in Pauatahanui about 15 minutes ago. Looks like it's round to stay for a while. :-(

**StoneChucker** · 26th March 2005, 14:30

Yeah, JUST as I friggen walked out the door it started to rain. So, as you can see, I won't be there.

See you all at the dinner and/or piss up (err, except I won't be drinking, since I have to drive home!)
