To Hmltn & Wgtn for Daryl & Bruce

[bugjuice]

k, just so I know.. who's going to be where tomorrow? just don't want to leave anyone behind, and don't want to be waiting around to see who does.. if you know what i mean..

[justsomeguy]

Zapf and I aim to meet you at the Autobahn by 3:30pm or whenever you get there.

Cheers.

[Zapf]

Yep, 3:30pm at Autobahn I plan for. Any route? Picking up anyone along the way? Let me know as I'll plot it on the GPS pre trip.

Won't be stuffing around but won't go warp speed either. Say around 120kmh on the clock.

[bugjuice]

nah, easiest route (which is unfortunately the boring one). Just wanna get there. Can sight see on the way home. Was thinking of scooting down 2 > 27 > 28 to taupo. I have to peel off to Rotoura, but will regroup in Taupo. Just stick around at paps if poss, I'll be there! Unless it gets late, then just head off.

Anyone meeting at Hells? Or should we do that when we have more time? Soz Bruce..

Why not take a more fun route?? Help stop our tyres getting flattened?

You coming alone or bringing the missus on the back??

I say don't eat pizza - not the best thing while riding.

[justsomeguy]

Yep, 3:30pm at Autobahn I plan for.

hey - you plan for 2:30 ok.

I'm not waiting till 5pm for you to show up.

[bugjuice]

cos i just wanna get there, like I said. The 636 is most definitely not a tourer. My arse is gonna be achey as hell by Taupo time. I just wanna be there. On the way back, I intend to be more scenic. And I'd pick another route, but I need to pick up HDTboy on the way, and nope, Kell has more sense than to spend 8 hours on the back of a bike..

Since I ride what you ride with race track firm suspension - aren't the twisties more comfortable?

Sitting at 100kmph puts things to sleep.

No worries - will go with what ever is decided.

See you tomorrow. Get a good nights sleep buggy.

By the time you leave at 3pm...... I shall be down country somewhere.... (SH1)

Mind you....... you will probably catch up to me and wave as you pass me by....

So you guys travel safe...... and take care out there on the roads.

yep, they are more comfortable. But a) the twisties add time, and b) the twisties are away from Rotorua. Once we pass Taupo, then it's all on.. Just prior..

[bugjuice]

k, so meet at Papkura BP at 3.30 then..

news from the front, for those still to travel: major roadworks on the forest section/roads about 40km before Taupo. Just mind yourself there..
