if you're in auckland theres always the ATNR for crotch rockets. i get along there occasionally from whenuapai.

Heard there was a navy club starting up for serving members? Anyone know anything?

Yeah there is, there is mention of it on the Navy(intranet) website under the club websites, and there is a calender with rides that gets updated not often enough.

I will give the guys a kick and see about organising another ride for that.

At my present workplace, out of 19 staff, 10 of us are all ex Navy.

You working at the power station? Sounds like there has been a takeover there.

[KiwiRat]

Yeah, slowly but surely we are taking over. It just happens that every time a staff member leaves, the most suitable candidate happens to be ex Navy.

Go figure.

Not alot no.....but who cares...rules only require a bike over 250cc.
Plenty of 'good humoured' rivalry like any shit slinging biker about others choices of ride.

Yeah, just make sure you don't end up going out (briefly) with any girls that win wet t comps at Patriot hosted rallies! Or so I learnt...

Not me, but since moving into my Grandmother's house, I have found all my Grandfather's old war photos. He was RAAF 3 Sqdn and served from 1939-1945. Also have his flight log books and medals, Pacific Star, Africa Star and others. So fascinating to see the old pics and read his missions. He died in 88. Here are just a few if anyone's interested.

man you should put them into a museum........and pleeeeeeeaseeee don't sell them, to me I think that is disgustingly disrespectfull when people do that, the horrors faced to earn a piece of metal sold off for a quick meaningless buck is just wrong, look after that stuff and cherish it, or as I said a museum will look after it for you and keep it safe.

and thanks for sharing!
