    Post Any MANAWATU riders out there?

    As the title states - are there any riders around this area that would be keen to do a weekly / weekend ride sometime. Palmy isn't exactly what I call a town raging with activities and setting up a regular ride event with some keen people who know some great routes or even just keen to explore would be brilliant.

    feel free to email me directly

    Think there is a group that coordinates through Facebook, Owl might still be around here to give more detail...

    there the blue haze motorcyle club see manawatu motorcycles there great bunch of guys.

    guy down the street rocked up to my place month ago never had that before has a Honda blackbird. new to the area.

    i always keep to myself . i did belong to motorcyle club in chch way back in the day.

    depending on your age there was a group of riders that used to meet up . when we lived next door to the rotory house

    oppostie pak n save . since been sold years ago . i dont have a working bike last year or so. but there are people in parmmy.

    they must meet up somewhere else unless they still go there . we moved away so am not sure.

    That was the original reason I joined Facebook, but nothing really happened apart from pictures posted of meals so I dumped it. I know there is still a Manawatu Riders group on there, but not too sure what they do?

    Ride mostly on my own now. I find groups rides are often more about the stopping than the riding.

    Longer conversations about coffee, than bikes! My experience of Groups in the big choke, I mean smoke, anyway!

    I tried to join Ulysses in Auckland, but lived too far away to get to all the social stuff regularly, also got the feeling couples were more welcome, membership people we're great, but didn't get much change from the cruiser crowd. I got the distinct feeling a 15 year old 650 simply wasn't up to minimum standards.

    I'll be making monthly adventure rides spending a night or two at a doc camp site during summer. Low budget, no drama, carry your own gear and food. I'll put up details closer to the time. Let me know if you'd be interested.
