I doubt the road will be what people remember on the 17th.

Opps should add there is self service petrol next door to where we are meeting (supermarket pumps)

is the bp still there? ive got a feeling its gone, but could be wrong. theres a shell in levin isnt there? planning on fuelling as i get into town, so should have enough to get me into welly and back out again.

ok coming in from foxton you will have mobil on the left .. caltex couple hundred meters futher on and on the right, both BP (cafe) and Shell are south of our meeting point both on the right . As stated there are petrol pumps at next door to our meeting site, eftpos only but rather handy if a fill up is needed

and figured it you were only coming for 17th but then was not sure with your post

[DJ]

cheers, most likely will

Sweet - just drop me a PM or something if you do.

[AD345]

Sweet!

Looks like I'll be riding with the Palmy mob and I should be able to look out my window and see the meeting point.

Any chance to reduce the possibility of getting lost is gonna be good

It's 92km's from my place to work, so Parliament would be a km or so less than that.
Takes 1hr 10mins in the morning if you stickish to the speed limits.
If you don't stick to the speed limits it takes a lot longer (especially just north of Otaki). And yup it is probably the least interesting bit or road in NZ! Yeah for MP3 players!
On the brighter side taking the detour via piecock hill does not add any time to your journey, It does however make a noticeable difference to tank range. But you do need to watch out as it is well policed especially in mornings and evenings.


Which reminds me to get back on topic... Is there any help needed at FatBoyz, I am used to being on the road a bit earlier so I can do meet and greet for the insomniacs or really keen.

What's parking going to be like on the 17th? I can imagine a lot of riders in Wellington that day so have they orgainised where the bikers are going to park?

[Ixion]

Shit. D' y' know, no-one thought of that. Odd that the topic hasn't come up anywhere either.

[chanceyy]

Ixion ..

parking is at the stadium for the hutt & police college convoys .. all for a gold coin donation for wellington free ambulance, the walk is about 200 meters or less to Parliment .. if you know your bike leaks oil make sure you bring newspaper & put in bins aft .. (do not overlube your chains either)

Stoney & crew have to do a clean up afterwards & get a waterblaster in so all bikers help in making sure they leave no rubbish oil or rubber would be most appreciated

Oh cool, so long as I know there is a place to park the bike somewhere. I asume we can leave anytime as well so there aint locked gates?
