shit, that's enough beer to get a midget drunk for about fourteen years.

I missed the other thread related to this subject last week and have just caught up with it now...I'm assumming it was the KB donation that paid for the bill????

On a seperate point, I stayed in the FJ hotel last year and can whole heartedly reccommend it, they allowed us to check in early 'cus one of our party was not well and didn't charge us a cent extra......If I'm down that way again I'd stay there for sure...

For the record Anfield... he is talking crap, nothing unusual for him...

Glad it's sorted, no one needs that kind of publicity. It may be a while before I take you up on the free beer, but if I am ever in your area, I will make a point of popping in for a meal (which I assure you I would pay for - LOL!) to help make up for the other incident.

I had a friend who worked at the hotel about 20-odd years ago and she loved it. Never managed to get there - but there's still time!

**Hitcher** · 19th February 2007, 15:36

And III should get three free beers.

**Kendog** · 19th February 2007, 15:46

An excellent example of how an Internet forum like this can create such good will.

Thanks for the offer, hope to get there one day

the fact that they're the only motel/hotel/pub/restaraunt down there should be enough reason Nigel....

Yeah but I know the area well enough and you don't actually HAVE to stop there... until now...

The account in question has been paid and as a mark of our gratitude, we would like to offer any kiwi biker (including HRC and Blue Wing !) one free beer, if affiliation ID ( if you have that! ) is shown.

What do you think ?

Mate - good for you for taking the trouble to log on and say thanks - don't know about the rest of you guys but to me, that speaks volumes.

Not sure the beer thing will work - (oh go on, give SpankMe a deal 'cos it's his site) but next time you see a motorcyclist just remember we are not all bad eggs...

**idleidolidyll** · 19th February 2007, 17:19

Ahhh, ya see, THAT is how to improve the PR of bikers in NZ.

Not only is the hotel grateful we got that bill sorted, he's offering free beer too!

I feel completely vindicated.
