Great photos matey. Fantastic weekend, great venue, great roads, and more inportantly great people.

The Mt Cook leg as absolutely magnificent. The weather and view of the moutain was the best. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Now, who was that person with a fetish for all things lactating?

Right night it's time for bed. Whose idea was it to stay up until 4:00am?

Glad you got back OK IDB as that tyre looked

And OldRider, I thought "sign" was something one looked for while hunting. I didn't see any this weekend.

We northern crew came home via Mt Cook (village). Spectacular.

This was a great weekend and a cert to be repeated. Even allowed one NI representative who fitted in just like a southern man.

More comments and pics to follow...

As usual I didn't take a single photo all weekend.

Slacker.

Good to see again (and the 888), though not having a good wag is a bugger.

Absolutely John. Best weekend I've had in a long time.

Anyway someone is cleaning the bike of all those sticky things and heading for bed shortly no doubt. I'll just continue with the G & T and whatever else I come across. Sounds like you all had a good natter and ride to Otematata.

Has he told what time he got to bed this morning CB? Clue - it wasn't close to midnight.

Good to see you again Bill.

Bed is calling - but I can't go without adding to this thread tonight. It was really great to meet you all and put faces to names for the first time. I'm not sure what this getting to know each other bonding session will do to the interactions on the posts here over the next few months - more targeted fun??!! (and of course we won't mention the mops!!)
We do have a great "family" atmosphere when we get together. I'm sure this website will continue to grow in the South Island and with any luck it will be with people who get on as well as we all seemed to and just love our bikes, and those gentle chatting evenings of culture that extend ALL FUCKING NIGHT!!!!
SD and I had a great trip home with a couple of interesting interludes which I'll post on tommorrow/;later
Lets do it all again next year

Good to be home though, sleep well everyone!!!!!!!

Bet you can't find any incriminating photos of me

I do things when cameras are holstered. This mornings effort could well have lead to you having to change your name to Mr Seedy, be glad it's a low res picture that doesn't show the colour blend of skin to hair

From what I hear he's better looking with the mask on...

Strangely enough I felt really good the following morning. I even went for a run....then I realised that I wasn't actually with you guys, but a long way from home somewhere else..

Gutted I missed yet another good weekend.

Time to find another job perhaps.

Great photos. Glad ya'll had a good time....next time...
