32nd cold kiwi rally

Grantman where did you find that GPZ400 ? Is this the same one from MOTAT? I'll keep my eye out for you... you should not be hard to find as I'll follow the trail of spilt rum.

Definitely will be there. As will Lias - we're heading down friday morning with one of my friends.

Anyone in the Hamilton region planning on taking a stroll down there earlyish on Friday and wants some riding buddies: let me know and I'll confirm departure time.

Dunno about my travelling companions but I aim to stop for a few scenic pics on the way down (via Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, National Park, I think) if the weather's fine.

Hi Arron
No My bikes are from trademe not MOTAT!
and cost me less than the GST you paid on your pipes for the RG500

have you got that 2 smoke working ok?
You missed out on a good ride on sunday

You are the one from our group who is normally doing the most of the dribbling/spitting and stumbling ........thats why we call you
"Crunchie the clown"

( I'm the one barfing in the morning!)

Hope you have got your gear ready
Its gonna be cold

Ring ya soon
Cheers

Grantman,

Now correct me if I'm wrong but its not my tent thats got dried puk on it!! How long has it been there?

RG500 is all go... I've done 100K on the new rings etc. Dam I'm not looking forward to the gas bill!!!

Much beer feel no cold... shame it does not work on my hands.

I will be heading from Hawkes Bay, over the Gentle Annie on Friday morning. Ive got my younger brother on the back and the missis following on the GN250. So if anyone local wants someone to ride with, you are more than welcome to tag along. Speed will be limited by the 250.

Once there i will be meeting with many of my mates, look for my flashly tarted up gb400, a red gn, a coupleof gs1200ss', a gs500e, a gsx750f... the list goes on.

If you see the mullet, dont be shy.

Going to be cold.... beer

Hi Arron
good news the RG is going ok
pitty is going to break your cold kiwi tradition of never taking the same bike twice!

My Tent has had that Puke/rum stains on it for years! (adds character)
the puke smell has dissapeared along time ago.
dont laugh you might have to sleep in it yet.

your gonna need some warm clothes so your stump doesnt get cold.

Anyone know whats the temp down there?.....snow on the desert Rd this week

cheers
Grantman

Saw a long term weather forecast for next weekend ( so probably not much better than a guess ) that said it would be fine and frosty so that means feckin' cold
