[sxyrx7]

should be a good day just finished loading all the bikes tonight

limestone hill and the sand dunes always make for good fun

[oldguy]

those sand dunes and the vision of a KTM

[RJM]

I had a text from one of the land owners this morning who said it's just went enough to settle the dust down and make for good riding conditions.

I'm all loaded with my newly customised petrol can, just have to pick up 4 bikes on the way! Can't wait to get riding.

Mr Motorcycles Waikaretu Beach Run

[RJM]

Great ride today Scott, was nice to have a reasonably easy going ride where it was more about scenery/distance as opposed to challenges. A couple of nice hillclimbs were good fun but the best part was deffinately the first big dune and the view from the top.

The beach run was great too. I was down at the beach talking to Richard Whitford when pulled out a massive superman over the dune, immediate report was he KO'd - how's that guy doing?

[sxyrx7]

yer defently on of the best rides i have been on.i was surprised more people did not turn up it was such a good day out not too hot

who did the big drop off, almost at the end of the ride

[Nellie]

The guy that got KO'd was a 12 yr old boy. bit dazed, memory loss, has a moderate concussion. But will make a full recovery.

PMC Medic

[RJM]

Good to hear it wasn't too major. It was getting a little crazy down there.

Scott - I know in the briefing you said last year things got a bit out of hand last year on the dunes, how did it compare this year? It looked like everyone was well behaved while having an absolute blast out there.

[oldguy]

where was this drop off you speak of.

[scott411]

people were definatly more behaved this year, but we also had a couple of marshalls there to keep an eye out for people and tell them off,

and the beach was a alot better as well,

hey Nellie, its PMCC

[pj.elliott]

Cheers Scott. This was my first ride back on my new bike after about 20 years off and I had an absolute ball. Great ride....awesome views!! Fantastic.
