Let the rumpus begin....

[Gwinch]

I shall be present! Riding unless a better offer comes up or no-one else ends up riding themselves. Got a spare seat on the back of the VTR should anyone need a ride.

[R6_kid:Me]

I might be able to offer up one spare seat in a car to the right person :-)

[Danae]

We'll be riding down from Mangitangi. Have fun in the traffic, oh and finding a park.

People who have a hard days work to be done at the races and can't be arsed riding along boring straight roads that are going to be over policed by officers targeting motorcycles.

I'll take air-con, a decent stereo and the ability to eat and drink while travelling, over riding along straight roads.

[PirateJafa]

You mean the Hunuas have disappeared overnight without anyone bar you noticing?

Oh shit.

You present a strong case. I will also end up sweating my nuts off & carrying all my gear around after riding down from Paihia which will play havoc with my piles. No doubt the agony wiil set in just after Auks as boredom intensifies the sore botty probs. Will be a lovely ride until we reach the Super City though.

At least three or four gear stores there, $5 (I think) check your gear in, collect it when you go. Works for me.

Always wondered why all the cars were there. S' OK, y' gotta do what y' gotta do, I always have trouble understanding why anyone goes anywhere in a car if they don't have to.

I'll be wobbling down , if I can get a bike to start . And I don't get too lost. Should get there eventually, it's a small island.

EDit. Stopping. Stopping might be good too. Last time I looked the SV rear brake had gone away somewhere. Maybe it's come back. Anyway brakes are overrated. Wonder if I can find a bike that'll start AND stop.
