Will try my best.
Look for my Red/blk/Wht R1, and a boring looking silver gixer.

Heard today that they have metal'ed the driveway in. Last year was a complete mud bog! Hopfully its better than that, as ill have a fully loaded bike and a pillion.

sweet as mate...

will be heaps better that they have metalled the road. was getting worried that it was going to be hard going, still pulling the mud out of my radiator from last years experiance. however i still reckon it would be best to be there as early as possible cause it wont take long for the road to get messed up

I'll keep a lookout for you. Another bunch is leaving from Caltex Rimutaka at 0900 up the back way to Hastings, where the boys go over the Gentle Annie to Taihape while the girls carry on to Napier and over the Napier-Taupo Rd. We all meet up in Taupo for the night then down to rally on Saturday.
(boys bikes - F650/Pegaso/GS Suzi, etc) have a higher ratio of steel to plastic than girls bikes - R1/SV1000/Firestorm, etc)
