Fuckin good weekend all in all! Yes we got wet! It was awful from Whanga's to waikato but we were pretty well dry by the time we got to Waitomo. We even did the caves in the morning before setting off in the drizel to Taumarunui for a cuppa and then we hit the FWH. It was fun and the roads were even dry for us most of the way there. Went to Mt Damper falls which was awsesome to see in the flesh but very hard to get a good photo. Then we fucked about at the tunnel like big kids before declaring beer o'clock and heading for Whong amini moaner or how ever you say it! We stayed in the attic with Colleen and Klaus the frankfurt alarmclock. He will wake you early everyday the fucker!
Next day we took some photos incl one of the roughest Laverda I have ever seen and then set off, dodging the usual selection of pigs, goats, sheep and cows on the road. Went to see the Whangamomona tunnel no 2 and then went to Stratford for 2nd breakfast. One of the BMW's had a sulk here in the rain and had to be push started. On to Opunake to spot hippies and eat lunch where we met up with some Taranaki Ulysses guys who took us to NP and left us to wander in the big park in the middle of town. Then home today on wet roads right up to the southern motorway and then dry till Whangarei and hopefully for the Keri keri lot who continued on.

Sweet oi, I thought you were doing the Turangi thing?
So you stayed at the Wonga-mounta-moaner pub over night?

**colonel** · 6th June 2011, 21:26

looks like fun for all. Magic bit of country down there

Good to hear the weather wasn't totally shit all weekend!

Took my bike out for a couple of rides and can vouch for the PR3 tyres being fucking awesome. They laugh in the face of wet roads!

No didn't do the Turangi thing, have had this ride organised for a bit with Ulys up here. Would have been so much better in the dry but MamaJo is good to go again! Next time it will be down to Wanganui and returning up the wanganui river road thru Pipiriki.

Will try to get there for tomorrow night but starting a new job at Oakura so could be late and there is no cell coverage there.
