[WarlockNZ]

Only if its WarlockNZ's Hyosung, they are ment to be retardent, or is that just retarded?

Ohhh .. that was uncalled for .. lol

[WarlockNZ]

[lukelin250]

hahah good sport warlock

[gijoe1313]

Ooooh, I do so want to go to this and bring along all my stash of fireworks and play with ( I can imagine what will happen, one of the dangling fuses hits my hot cans and then I'll be rocketing down the street past everyone ... before exploding into a cornucopia of crescending incandescent illuminations! )

Sounds a right goer this! Need to get that weather genie out for the night methinks Mav No need for torches, the reflection from Warlock's ride will sort that out!

Now where did I put those incense sticks and my stash of illegally kewl fireworks? ( little rolling tanks, battleships you put in water and skyrockets that go up seriously high! )

[WarlockNZ]

see .. i knew my ride was illuminating .. just nice to have it confirmed.

hey ,

i would highly reccomend shakespeare!! i too live up those ways and theres heaps of room and bbq's.
also its a nice ride out there maybe we could all meet up along the way.....

Whos going to make a decision though about where it is at??

cheers.

Alas I won't be there - I was even going to suggest my place for the fireworks and BBQ

I'll er....be down in a place called Taupo for the weekend.....for some reason...

[placidfemme]

Its starting to pick up!

If there is anyone on a Full license or who knows someone who is trailing along in a cage, could you consider having Sam with you (Either as pillion or passanger in the cage)... she will be sad if she misses the fireworks... her birthday is on the 4th... so I'll make sure that she isn't too hungover... lol

I'm liking the idea of Shakespear Regional Park... but like Maverick said... its a bit far for the newbies to be riding back from in the dark... but still all good

Given that it will be after the 250 ride it wont be at Shakespeare, as it is on the other side of Auckland.
At this point it could be at my place, but no BBQ, however people could pitch in for Pizza or Fish and chips etc, (save people lugging around meat etc)
Alcohol would be BYO, I dont encourage drink driving.
Families are welcome to join us later after the ride.

[R6_kid:Me]

Might show up on the R2.5

[adiddy]

Are you serious?

i dont do date ssorry lol....
i think theres somethng else on that night - heloween party or sumthing so maybe missing this

[Maverick]

Updated details at top of thread, posted here anyway,

Update:

At this point it looks like a ride out east starting around 3pm, then anyone who wants to come back to our place to get takeout and let off some fireworks is welcome.
This invitation is generally open to those who ride with us and their kids/partners etc, Im not posting my address and details for all and sundry to turn up later.
Alcohol is BYO, Drink driving is not encouraged or advised.
Fireworks, I will be getting some, people are welcome to chip in towards these or bring their own to add. (if you want to drop some (or anything etc) off before the ride let me know)
Food, people can either chip in for take out or pick up whatever they fancy. My place is pretty close to almost any take out you could want. (Pizza, Chinese, Mcd's, BK, Wendys, KFC, Oporto)

As with all the 250 rides we dont tolerate stupid behaviour, the same applys in this case to firework safety afterwards. (As much as we might joke about setting fire to Warlock's Hyosung, I like to think that most members are intelligent enough not to take it seriously).
