Nice idea doing a pic of each of us on our scoots, helps us to know who rides what. (I wonder what we'll all be riding next year?)

Hi guys, had a hell of a week here and am finally getting back with a couple of photos which don't repeat everything already here.
I've been having the odd quick peak at this thread and there are some great photos especially Jen's set of individuals + Bike. Sounds like most of you guys have been doing what I've also been doing all week - smiling about last weekend and recounting the adventure to anyone who wanted to listen.

As has been noted SD and I did our duty and made sure everyone was escorted safely to bed, by this time the birds were also making some funny noises outside!!!. My apologies to Speedy and MyGSXF in the next door room - I do have a little device to stop me from snoring but in the 5 minute lead SD got on me he was already sound asleep and well into the full symphony in ZZZ major, so I didn't bother putting it in. Anyway speedy you'd already had more sleep by that point than we got for the rest of the night anyway!!!!

Next morning lets just say that an extra 3 hrs by heading off in the wrong direction was a bit more than SD & I could have coped with - I got home about 5pm after a leisurely cruise and a few caffiene stops.

The funniest part of our trip was shortly after we left. WE headed back to Otematata and then headed up over the Benmore dam. Just as we came onto the dam there's the bloody bus parked there that had just disgorged a load of Japanese tourists who were wondering all over the road doing what they do best - taking photos.
Well SD and I pull up beside each other just beside the bus door. These Jappas turn around and you could see their jaws drop when they take a look at the masked man - but before you could say fuck me with a feather duster suddenly there's this rush of Japanese women towards us all wanting to get photographed draped over or snuggled up to these two bikers!!!!! Annoyed now I didn't get them to take one with us and them on my camera!
I was a nice cruise over the dam and down the other side of the LAke, coffee at Duntroon, then down through the limestone country via Ngapara, across the main road and out to kakanui, gentle ride through the Trotters Gorge and then cruised home on SH1 until I turned off onto SH8 for the last final blast through the Manuka Gorge which always gets me home with a smile on my face. We did strike some horrendous winds for a while South from Dunedin which was tossing both of us around a lot more than I've experienced for a while, but I guess thats just part of riding. I wondered whether that wind moved further North and caught the later riders heading back to Dunedin before they got home?? - didn't see any mention anywhere (Phaedrus, BigJ, Woodyram rider????)
Fantastic weekend, and many thanks to all of you who helped in so many ways from cooking, cleaning dishes, sweeping and yes even a little MOPPING.
The $5 collected bought 3 boxes of beer and as no one touched the third one we took that up to give to the managers as well and there was some frozen meat packs left behind which I stuck in their fridge. Hopefully we'll be able to use the place again - although with all the hits this thread is taking the venue might not be big enough and I think the ground down near the lake is a bit rocky/stony for comfortable tenting. keep a look out for other options, preferably something well away from anyone else - maybe a school camp type venue??, either that or the first 20 to register get a bed and the rest get some floor.
The photos (hopefully in the right order)
Top of the Lindis - taken by a friendly cyclist - all the SOuthern contingent except IDB
SD - if anyone has a better pic I'd like to see it - title could be "even the devil struggles with technology)
Top of Benmore Dam - after the runin with the Jappa's
Yet another roadside comfort stop!

Anyway the problem is what? I do note that you weren't exactly holding back on the bourbon yourself....

Hmm, I can just see the mental process going through Mr Sensibles brain:
"Will drinking all this stuff REALLY make my head hurt in the morning?"
