    heading down the road with you kiwi's

    Good evening folks -
    I notice that our friend Keith has broken the news about his cancellation. Both Mike and I will try and have an awesome time to report back to him....

    Our approx schedule is here for you to abuse, vent and generally kick my butt !!!
    Arrive in Auckland at 4am on the 19th.... NUTS.
    Run around town a little (I have a customer near the airport - very convenient !!) The on to Experience Motorcycles for last minute shopping...
    The over the bridge to collect our Beemers - I am riding the 1150 GS and Mike is riding the 1150 RT... yeeehaaa !!! Around lunch time we are heading to Mt. Maunganui to visit an old friend of mine (yup, its a girl !!!)
    We will overnight there.
    We have the ferry booked on the 22nd at 2pm.... and then again on the 30th for the return.
    What shall we do ?? Y'all can tell us.... just be gentle...

    I know we cannot do it all but shoot - we will return.....

    I cannot wait to hang with you folks.... please stay in touch

    Mark

    Why can't you shoot? Is that a Merkin thing? Does that mean you can shoot, just not accurately? There's plenty of people here that you can shoot with or there's places you can go to shoot...

    Or are you not talking about guns..?

    Merkin = American. Local term meaning general incompetence!!

    I had figured it was because people here were to lazy to say American.

    My two mates are still traveling, though. I have pointed them to this site and this thread. I'm betting that they will post up en route so as to meet up with many of you as they tour the North and South Islands. Both of them will be traveling with their laptop computers, so it should be easy for them to post up. I hope they will. You all have been so incredibly hospitable and generous in your postings to me.

    Another time for me, fellow riders. I look forward to that day.

    Hope your FIL gets better, i lost mine quite a few years ago to cancer you couldnt meat a nicer bloke, such a shame

    Not true.

    Thanks Meanie.

    Mark and Michael are in the air as I type this. Hope some of y'all can meet up with them during their trip. They're great guys, and I know they are looking forward to being in your beautiful country.

    Actually, Mark is a South African living in America. Michael is American.

    Let the games begin!

    In New Zealand and riding...

    Folks -

    I apologize for not visiting anyone... we have been so busy riding and not have regular internet means often we just collapse after a long ride...
    Suffice to say it has been an awesome ride and we will be back.
    I will report on the trip soonest....

    We are in Tairua - leaving for Auckland in the am.


    See ya - Mark
