BFTP - HB Rally 23rd April - All out-of-towners please read

[tate35]

Hi all,

On Saturday a bunch of us met up at the Tiko pub to discuss the finer details of our up and coming Hawkes Bay Rally/Booze up - most of which we got ironed out and Dooly has put a post up advising the finer details.

However, we are still trying to decide of which day Saturday/Sunday to have our big ride day on. It would be helpful if all our out-of-town friends could let us know which day you are expecting to arrive on Friday or Saturday and likewise when you are planning on heading home either the Sunday or the Monday...???

Cheers Tate

arriving friday. heading home sunday a.m.

arriving friday. heading home sunday a.m.

you got the kids all sused then ..... cool !

Will be a good fun weekend

[Ratti]

kids are sussed, its the bloody bike is the issue. May be turning up in the mummyvan- with as many bits of the bike as i can fit in the back

If I do end up sans bike, i might be able to take anyone else who wants to go but has similar problem. Any Wellyans interested?

Cool Ratti...does'nt matter how you get here - just be nice to meet you and have a fun weekend.

What she said....bring your gear too though, I'm sure someone can pillion you on the rides...

[Dadpole]

Arrive Friday and home Sunday. Ratti, I can meet up with you and any Welly people in Pahiatua or thereabouts.
All invasions should be carried out with maximum personnel.

[Ratti]

righteo Dadpole. Paihiatua it is. I'll pm you my text number. How long does it take to get to where we are going? It's actually marked on the map I have so that should make things a lot easier.

bugger it I am so tempted to go get that beemer so I can ride down, but who knows? Maybe an extra recovery vehicle will come in handy.

Under 1.5 hours from Woodville.
Up HW2, thru Dannevirke, turn left at the Tui sign (Takapau) onto HW50, stay on that until you turn off left at Tait Rd (there's a wagon wheel I think under a wooden sign that says Stoney Creek Ranch)

[Dooly]

Usually, (depending how fast you go) about 30 mins approx (slowly) from HW50 turnoff to Tait rd.
Or about 5 mins after the last, and third 1 way bridge.

Get the Beemer too.

[Ratti]

Wot time to meet in Paihiawotsit? and how long will it take to get from Hutt to there?

I might have a quick look around next week and see if anyone has an R beemer rather than that k100. Ima bit nervous of the computer thingy on it crapping out and not being able to replace it.

[Dooly]

Maybe I can send my Kawa GPZ11 down to you in a courier bag and you ride that up.
Its for sale.

[MSTRS:Me]

Lower Hutt to Pahiatua - about 1.5 - 1.75 hours.

[wickle]

coo lum, have we enough HBer's to send out search parties?

[Ratti]

yes, well, stand by is all I can suggest. I have a map and as long as nothing has been shifted I shouldbe right. Just not familiar with that corner of the island so nto sure about times. Hopefully Dadpole knows his way about.
