So where's the report on the Kaipara 200??

**merv** · 27th October 2006, 12:15

I thought someone that went was going to do a write up and then pray tell what happened to Oscar's bike?

Motu also said when Big Dave posted a story he might add his tale of woe.

I looked at your pics on your site Big Dave and I've seen Garry W's post on ADVRider, but where's the KB exclusive?

Had lunch today with a few KB'ers including some that went on the ride so I heard a few stories.

I'm a bit reluctant to start one myself,I was only a bit player and didn't finish the day....and I only have one photo as I was running at the back all day.I'll have a crack tonight maybe.

Chris is writing the KR bit.

No worries about that Big Dave I've been a loyal subsciber from the start so no news stand for this boy, but what about the KB exclusive and Oscar has gone all quiet? Did his Ka Toom go Ka Boom or something?

Merv, I figured posting once on ADVrider and whacking a link in another thread on KB would do. We did enjoy ourselves, maybe you'll make the next one

**merv** · 27th October 2006, 19:18

Yeah but Garry you told us about the ride up and back but where's the real ride story?

My camera died on the Sunday, notwithstanding a brilliant ride. I'll let someone else tell the tale because without pictures you just can't do it justice. Dave Cohen has plenty of pics if that's what you want - check out his website at http://www.davidcohen.co.nz/ and hit the Kapara 200 link.

Cheers,
Garry

It's gonna be brief though. I reckoned putting more pics in instead of words would be the go.

You would be kidding of course Plug.

There is another link started by Dave with a few words and pictures of the ride at http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175603 - and yes, it's my bike upside down at the bottom of the steps beach side of the Marakopa tunnel, at least I tried

Nice one guys, that's what we were looking for.

I wonder if Spank and the other mods bother reading your comments over there? I for one am totally against bureaucratic imposition of rules so I can understand your sentiments but it isn't something that I've had trouble with here anyway.

I don't think it matters, most of the guys who made the comments aren't coming back here. I agree with what was said, BTW.
