Huh, guess I'm blind then, sorry about that.

If I come out for a ride, I'll see you at the pub when I get there. Hopefully there will still be someone there to have a drink with, and won't have buggered off for a curry.

That'll get them moving but once they see it's a morris dancer they'll really move!

Cool, Halswell Vets at 6.45, good plan that man!

No worries, it all meant I got to my dad's in time for curry which was bloody nice! It was made by my sister in law who is Japanese. How many people didn't know that there are Japanese curries? They're quite mild but very tasty! Suits me to a tee as I'm a wuss when it comes to spice

Oh no, that won't happen ... They do curries in house!

Yeah, probably straight underneath the nearest LAV or heavy machinery, in an effort to escape the horror of a world that allows rampaging morris dancers loose on an unsuspecting public.. on the upside, it may help ease traffic.

Sounds like a great 70's B movie, Morris Dancers On Motorbikes From HELL!

But we shouldn't bag them too much, I mean some of them are cool!

Oooh, I would rather like to see someone attempt to morris dance while riding a motorbike.. that would sure show those pansies who just stand still on the seat a thing or two, eh?

Thats the spirit - everyone could do with a bit of cheering up. Just don't forget or people might be inclined to think of you in terms of the attached pic

That's brilliant!

Where did you find that??

oh, probably the same place I found all my pics

I realise getting to BK may be a pain. However the outward journey to TaiTap should be straight forward.

I will be at BK (weather permitting) at the usual time if anyone else wants to ride out as a group.

**Dave3362** · 6th March 2011, 09:54

halswell is ok.. oads a little bumpy but not bad so vets should be fine

**Transalper** · 6th March 2011, 10:13

On Friday night I got groceries from Countdown by BK (my usual supermarket) BK was/is? closed but the carpark is ok but their was only one entrance/exit as Madras St was closed.
Also Moorhouse Ave is down to traffic going both ways all on the BK side of the Island so it's a bit of a pinch point and right turners share the straight through lane as oncoming traffic is in the right turning lane we'd normally use.
Gasson St once you get on it is generally ok.
I hope not too many use BK as a start place, but then I'd be surprised if the turn out is anything like normal.

One of the nice things about Moorhouse Ave is the number of exits. If Gasson Street looks risky we have the option of going to Waltham Road to turn right.
