Great Pics Bart, you managed to take all these photos and still beat us to Journeys End.. Mind you I had a "Familiar Red Honda" in front of me and if he wasn't falling off he was running out of gas...

Thanks for a great weekend all, Clint and Rosie excellent organisation.....I reckon the pics tell the story...

Yep, great photo's alright. Thanks to Clint & Rosie and to all those who offered their wisdom, advice or just a good yarn!

Ahhh, but I didn't stay at Journeys End. I stayed at the pub with the two headed lamb (and electric blankets)

They are a good selection of photos that prompt the memory of the ride.

What was the fort with flag at the start of gravel on the Waikaremoana Rd? I was too scared to stop & ask.

Rest stop in Bulls, and meet the guys from the Wairarapa and Palmerston North



Whanganui River from the river road, which we got to after a slight detour



Rest stop on the Whanganui river road



Aslan with a friend at Jerusalem



Aslan coming back from a quick ride with a pillion

[Aslan]

to all who have posted pics in this and Rosie's thread on ADV - I salute you!!

My friend in Howie's pic above is the Sister - Sister Sue at St Joseph's Church at Hiruharama (Jerusalem) http://www.compassion.org.nz/centres/jerusalem.htm

Sue is a Nun with a zest for life - I'd promised her a ride on the Bimmer when I had visited in March - i had offered the Matahiwi Track which she would have been up for - however I decided against it this time - in the Summer maybe.

Howie and Ant & I visited Hemi's grave (James K Baxter) and had tea and cake with the Nuns. Kewl

Ciao Aslan

The Church at Jerusalem.




Fixing the hotgrips on my bike at about 2200hrs on Friday night



Rangitaki on Saturday Morning, time spent on hotgrips the night before was well worth it!!



Riding into the Forest



Out at the Minginui turnoff

Kev's damage looks kinda odd but at least it has a new use .. attched a couple of pics.
have a few hat cam shots anyone wanting them contact me and I'll send them.. will try to put them somewhere online to view too. not done it before so suggestions where would be good.
