Pic 2, "Moving house", Nighthawknz, Phaedrus, & Mr Sensible

Re your edit - yes you are still learning to upload photos!!!! Pissed off I couldn't have joined you and met some new faces and caught up with you again. You still got the Victory?? Good luck getting those 2 photos loaded.

Well we are now home and are no longer one of the great unwashed.
After two days at the rally with a bit of tiki touring we are glad to be home.
Now I'm clean, I will have to clean the bikes as they are covered in bugs and dust after we (SDU and I) did a few gravel back roads to get to a friends place.
It was a great weekend and thanks to all that were there as we (the royal we) had a ball.
Now we have eaten we are off to bed with out hearing anyone snoring (that is apart from SDU

) or small domestics or people firing up their bikes at ungodly hours..

They made it past Rakaia, waving like a bunch of day-release patients

And we were laughing to our self's, as we could see you bottom lip sticking out and were wishing that you were coming along to the Rally as well.

If plans earlier in the week had stayed how they should have I would have been heading down, but you know what they say about plans

Don't be so rude next time

call in, we don't bite

Are the pics in some form of secret code?

We were taking bets that you may turn up and it was a pity you could not make it.

We were on a mission to get down there in a curtain time frame so could not stop, sorry, next time we will try not to be snobs.

And I heard that you do bite.

SDU is now doing longer and longer rides on the V11 and is getting in to the swing of touring and we are slowly getting the bike set up as she likes it.
