    Met zapf today (2 October)

    zapf rolled into my work today... didnt get much of a chance to chat cos we got busy [always the way...no customers for an hour, then the second someone comes along you want to get to know, every man and his dog wants petrol!]
    said he was heading towards new plymouth...hope the weather was good to you...poured down a while after you left.
    im gonna have to get me some kiwibiker stickers...hes got 3 on his bike. wouldnt have associated him with here otherwise, lol. first kb'er ive properly met.

    cheers dude...hope you got to your destination safe!!

    Zapf came down on the Awakino sheep feast ride and then did a lap around the mountain and went home on the same day as I recall.

    Nobody can say he ain't a motorcyclist...

    I waved to him on saturday just norf of upper hutt.
    Then he came to my house... think we got things in the wrong order... but when the road calls for a ride...

    He does get around a bit, must be a bit of a bike tart ;-) better watch out for this one...

    especially on the 13th october in Turangi!

    Yep, stayed with us a couple of nights so he could attend the Wgtn KB ride. Top marks for riding down for that (and GIJOE)

    He has great taste in motorbikes for sure

    Hope the trip home is not too wet.

    haha....

    never thought there will be a thread about me... and least its not about being naughty thanks all!

    Yea, good to meet u SunHuntin... I was going thru your town and looking for a Petrol station to stop on the way, and so it looks like its getting to the end of town without a station. And walla... a BP... pulls in. Then then friendly person ask me if I was anything to do with KB...

    Always good meeting people that way...

    eMan found me the exact same way in Rotavagus as well...

    Yea got home safe, enjoyed the wet ride back actually... roads where wet but clean. had fun with a few small controlled drifts on SH3...

    dead tired today!

    I bet you he was smiling the whole time too.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    I'm surprised he got home!! He had an awful time in Martinborough, trying to get his GPS working again....
