Hi again chaps.
just realised the rugby is on next, so I'm afraid we'll have to pop round tomorrow instead.
Glad the weather broke for you

What a weekend!
Awesome sunny weather, even if the wind did have a bite to it

Lots of fun raising money for the Spinal Trust.
Food to die for, I love Antonio and Anna want to take them home!

And that sing-a-long last night was just priceless!

Thanks MAG! Lets do it again!

Pic's? now come on Ed, that'd be telling.
I'm sure they will be coming mate, it really was a blast.We had a great time, we meet lots of new friends and we raised some significant money for our Main Charity.
Could not have asked for better company, weather or anything else.
Anotnio, Anna, please, please don;t ever get mixed up with any other motorcycle group, your'e OUR 's for keeps after this weekend.
Food was fantastic and your company was awesome.
For those that didn't ride , Up Down, or sideways, you missed MAG-NZ's first annual get together, this was not a protest ride, but simply a social gathering and an opportunity to get to meet Trevor from the Spinal Trust, who was our contact for the trust.
Trev and his daughter quickly became part of our group and ably assisted us in collecting for the Trust on the streets of Taupo.It doens't get any better than being able to help others and to have a good time doing so and meeting new mates.
The camp ground where most of us stayed, was excellent.
It is quite capable of taking many more of us.
Next year.
It's called.

Thanks mate, don't worry, we are happy with our new family and won't be going anywhere

Thanks you all.

We are home safe and sound, took much longer than anticipated as the CHCH contingent missed the check in for her flight and had to be rebooked on a later flight. We only found out when we had arrived at the airport, cant read texts while riding a bike eh? So we had a 3 hour wait...

Decided to go home and come back again, so we drove to Warkworth, unloaded the car etc and then turned around and went back to the airport

What a fabulous weekend it was, so much fun with great company and we raised a heap of cash for the NZ Spinal Trust as well! There are a heap of pics on our camera, we will look at getting them down loaded soon.

Thanks team, great time had by all

Was a blast,great to meet and greet.

Came back via Napier,stopped at Tiko pub,great wedges,and food for sure.

Bloody spped camera just before Bayview on hills,and downhill to boot but to bad,was doing 110-115km,got a bit worried on fuel load getting closer to Napier,ended up filling and had 1.7ltr when icon was flashing to indicate 1.5ltr approx (typical if really desperate it would be really accurate the gauge),chilly ride for much of it,but no rain,considering weather on Friday that was a bonus.

1)Grazing Saturday,2)Antonios sweet ride and mine,3)bikes at rest,4)more at rest for lunch,5)Max and admirer(groper),6)more of the bikes at lunch.

Well that was best fun you could have while standing.
An absolute brilliant weekend which started on Friday at 9am and finished Sunday at 9pm.
Taupo really turned it on weather wise, I understand it got bit chiily down Ohakuni way for Nutbar saturday arvo' while the rest of us drank piss

The camp ground was massive, free showers, free B-B-Q, the entertainment was cheap also

Cabins were perfect, and I have got my room all sorted for next year (dont worry Antonio, you wont even know I am there

) Fatt Max can level a man at 40 paces with his wit

I cant thank anyone who was there enough, my weekend was one out of the box from start to finish, so many moments keep flashing into my head and the weekend starts all over again

Alot of pics were taken, 91 in total from us...
We will get them up soon.
