Hey everyone - anyone.
Me got withdrawal symptoms!!!!! Got any spare pilly seats that someone wants to throw a light, "tight" (opps), woman on, hehe!
No seriously have the need to get the wind in the hair, so looking for someone kind enough to take me along.

Great days riding this afternoon. Hey I'm good in the wet and need practice so might see you tomorrow but won't do the Apiti stretch what time are you meeting at the GasolineAlley/DC3 at Mangaweka?.

**cowboyz** · 1st April 2006, 17:17

not sure. what do you think. <1 hour. Depends on the crew riding. I will be about the pace I was last weekend which is shitloads slower than you and a little faster than the sheep. We will leave here at 8am. Get there when we do. Still have to catch up with Meanie as haven't seen him all week.

Say between 9.00am and 9.30am I'll just ask the attendent there if any bikes have been through. If I'm there early I might have time to have some breakfast if I can stomach it.

I've got pillion pegs on my bike but you'd have to be seriously in need of transport to jump on the back of my bike as I almost fall off alot.

We're heading up your way tomorrow (Round the Bend Ride) but sounds like you'll be outta there by the time we get there.

Btw, on a competely diff note - is Phil Turnbulls open on Sunday?

What!! Not the Napier-Taihape Rd. Only a tinsey winsey gravel............
Might see you guys/girls in the morning. Gerty has a comfy back seat. Well for a couple of hundred ks anyway.

Was planning on doing a run via Cooner, shingle, to Havelock North if I got a reply from the Kombo Kid. If i'm not there have fun

I would hope so unless you leave really early or ride really fast. Must organise a get together between wellytown and palmy one day.

I am gonna buy you guys a disctionary. a small one with only a couple of words in it. Tad will be in it and on the following page will bbe tinsey and winsey. I am pretty sure they don't mean what you think they mean.

I was going to ring you tonight. I was wondering where you got to. Will be a good run tomorrow. The forcast isn't good for the weekend but today was a nice day. Lets hope the bad weather holds out till monday.

The company should be good. If I do make it we can pop in to mum and dads for a cuppa at Havelock North.
Meanie knows a couple of nice back roads from there back to Palmy now.

Btw saw you coming to work this morning. I was walking the mutt. Waved, but you were obviously concentrating on staying vertical.............

Hmmm - do you work there or are you making a genuine comment?

It's because I wanted to pop in and see if any of the people that work there are selling a sj413 4wd because there's one on Trademe that I want to look at and the photo is taken outside their shop. Prob not, but would've been worth a chance since I'll be up there tomorrow.
