    Hmm....doing my BHS next weekend. Subject to getting the L plate as well and enough practice I might see about heading north to meet you all. Give me something to aim for (not that you can miss Taupo if you stay on SH1, but you know what I mean lol!)
    It is entirely possible to teach an old blond new tricks!!!

    Sweet, well sister is keen to drive my car down, so should have her sorted out and a vehicle for some gear etc.

    Just talked to shop and my Penny is being re-assembled as we speak with goodies attached, so expect photos on here once its dark and I can't ride her anymore.

    How cool will that be?...
    The camp ground is easy to find (once you know where it is) but any one of us can come get you from the lake front.

    Did a lot of work a while ago getting all the 24hr stations updated so it flowed through to the NZ open source maps.

    Last time I was there, I thought it might have closed down... or was it just unexpectedly closed (at a reasonable hour, I swear). Not sure, perhaps don't count on it if you don't need to... haven't been through there for a good year or so, but it's really nice riding. Just don't go into Pureora Forest... I haven't even finished tracking all the gravel roads in there

    there are usually alot of slow people in group 1. especially at the start of the day, you get faster as you go though.
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.
