Hawke's Bay Ride Outs - is anyone there?

[Waihou Thumper]

Marty! Just caught up on all of the action.......
Has anyone mentioned the outcome of the poor sheep....
Naa, Just kidding mate, hope you get a freezer full of Mutton!
Take care and all of the best.....Mark

BTW, this KTM lark seems to be a bit of an issue? Wasn't a 990 to blame for the first serious mishap?
Take care and I hope the ear tag/ear clip marked the owner and you can get recompense for the farmers inactions!

Cheers Mark. The poor lamb exploded on final impact (apparently) so there wasn't even enough left for dog tucker. I have the owners details so expect they will be hearing from my insurance company once I get round to making a claim. I still haven't been able to bring myself to look at the 690 or what's left of my riding gear but may be the weekends job. Finding it a bit easier to move around but my left side is real sore and has now turned a nice dark yellow colour. I guess I'll never know for sure what exactly happened but I have ruled out excessive speed (and so did the serious crash unit) so maybe just the wrong place at the wrong time. What guts me is the ride with the Welly lads was awesome so this was a stink ending to a fantastic days adventuring

Ed had a 1974 aura about him on the weekend

Awesome ride. Cheers Ross for organising, and cheers Wade for the ride up and the loan of the bike. I owe you big time.

Once again thanks for the awesome pics Bart, We will definitely be going back there and doing that ride in the reverse direction but not until our "missing man" is back in the saddle and can join us.

The only way to make real money taking pictures is to do weddings. I didn’t even want to go to my own wedding. You couldn’t pay my enough to voluntarily go to strangers weddings every weekend.

I think most weddings could be improved with shots of a few bikes in the wedding photos - this could be the start of something big Bart

Now, stag and hen party photographer. That could be fun...

Hen parties? You'd probably have to pay them to attend. And generally you'd end up up at the wrong ones where they talk & talk & talk & talk & talk & talk & talk & talk...
