Hell yeah, great pics Doogle..like the one of Annes bike and the stars...very cool.
Great one of Alex (spets) also.

I can see/want my ''next to be framed photo'' of the FZ8..

...photo saved...is that ok with you?
I dont have any attribution left at the moment though...run out.

Cheers guys, was a good ride, hopefully I'll actually make it all the way to the final destination next time

Cheers for the pics nathan, a few good ones there

Bring on next time, and hopefully we get a couple more cruisers in the front group so I'm not the only one looking ridiculous in the twisties

No problem. If you PM me the link to it (or its #) I can send you a full size print ready version.

The one's there are some 40% of the initial size

At work and looks like interwebs at home is stuffed for me (modem or something has died) but great ride....

Really enjoyed my time away, even with my 50k of extra riding looking for a crashed rider/s on Sh22 when the group didn't appear behind me when I stopped and waited.

Was great playing catch up also along the road to Kawhia, kept catching up to this bulbous land mammal i believe is known as a mitsubishi legnum which had eaten 2 of our riders and was intent on catching up and eating more by the way it was going around some of the corners.

That long exposure one is so cool Doogle, I should get that one and frame it, very clever stuff. Lets try for an even better one up Norf

Great piccys as usual, I love your candid photo taking, I saw me frowning, not at all my usual style at all.

Tee hee, yepper, though I am glad I hugged you at Mercer cos you didn't stop in LOL. How are you moving your stuff? I wonder if you will have any extra room for a couple of bedside trolly thingys that need to get from Whangarei to Paparoa?

Yeah Carmel decided she didn't want to leave her bike behind and was ok to ride (hence the stop at the layby on the hill) so we carried on moving, just got home before it got dark after a couple of fuel stops.

I am looking at getting a truck, so possibly could fit some beds in there, but don't honestly know how much room is in there. If its urgent I can probably make the trip if someone wants to hire a trailer.

They are trollies that fit inside a car, but there are 3 of them. I dont know really, I will ask the girl that has them in Whangas. Not beds they too big, I am picking they are those hospital type beside trollies.

Give us a yell on the phone, if you want to me to go have a look or something.
