Advice & pointers for a new gurl

[Ms Piggy]

Not that long until my planned road trip - provided my bike is fit (which it appears to be) and the weather is not too crap I'm off on the 12th of Feb as far as Taupo and then Taupo to Hamilton on the 13th and then back through from Hamilton to Murupara (have a mate there) on the 16th and then Murupara to Wgtn on the 17th.

Anyway, if any of you wish to accompany me any part of the journey just PM me...I should have a mobile by the time I leave (cheers Jim2!!) and so I could text anyone who wants to know where I am.

Hopefully Mr Melon shall join me & we'll criuse up the country at a leisurely pace adn I believe Ching Ching is hooking up with us at some pint (I still have my L plate)...of course 100kms is leisurely enough!

Anyhoo - thanks for all your advice, tips & positive feed back!

Bon voyage Ms Lily and accomplices. We will need an indepth account of every burger eaten, every speed trap evaded, every bug squashed.

Thanks.

This has already been requested, so will be done.

Unfortunately it will mostly be a solo ride, as Mr Melon is unable to make it now. So apart from riding with Ching from Turangi through to Taupo, I'll be all on my lonesome.

You'll be fine CSL - just take your time, have lots of rest and drink stops (then pee stops!!). You'll have a ball!!

Ching: how about being a gentleman (which I'm sure you are anyway) and meeting CSL at the Brown Sugar Cafe in Taihape and riding with her from there to Taupo? (just a thought......they do lovely food/coffee at the BSC)

Great to meet you for lunch today and have a good safe trip.

Gentleman? That only gets you in the shit (and methinks you assume too much) hehehe. (Sitting... contemplating... wrestling with my conscience...) Awww, OK. Geez you're a hard woman Lynda. And you guys out there. Don't give me any shit about giving in to a woman. I'll pm her and see what she says.

Yaaaaaaaay! Gotta lova that Lynda! She always gets the boys to do wot they're told!

Cheers Ching - I'll have to shout you a latte (at least) for this!

[Ms Piggy]

Don't give him shit boys! He's only doing what he knows is the right thing to do...or it could be that he's a little scared of Lynda!

Ooopppss I better stop there or I won't be getting accompanied anywhere!

[LB]

Yaaaaaaaay! Gotta lova that Lynda! She always gets the boys to do wot they're told!

And I'm so SUBTLE about how I do it!!

ching_ching......you're not a softass, you're wonderful . Anyone gives ching shit they'll have me to deal with (is that feet in boots I hear trembling??!!) I'll shout you a latte too, when I finally get to meet up with you! (perhaps the Taupo weekend Jim2 is organising?)

Can we have an update when you get back from Taupo to let us know how things have gone so far?

Do you think we should start a new thread titled "Celtic Sea Lily's Epic Adventure" with postings after each leg of the journey?

I'll do my best to get access to a PC while I'm away - if not I'll take copious notes & plenty of pics.

Cathy - from one celtic to another - a blessing for your trip:

May the roads rise to meet you.
May the wind be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again,
May your God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Thanks I'll take that with me.
