    Five Star

    So I dropped in to see Craig tonight. Tell you what, it is a much better shop now he is back. People are friendly and chatty and ready to help. Speights_bud got a great deal for his chain and sprockets and it all arrived on time and at a good price. They did forget to order the oil filter but thats life.

    As I had a bad run with Five star when they opened it is only fair I post this cos things appear to be coming right. So I will be going back to see how it goes.

    Lots of info from Craig on sending bikes to OZ and riding in OZ. Thanks for all the help. Give Five Star a go and lets put the other problems down to starting a new business.

    So do we call ourselves the "Five star riding group" now?

    I reckon we could call ourselves that if Five start are willing to give some coin to HXC for his trip.....I think we need to start getting our heads together and thinking about how we are gonna send this young boy away guys!!!!

    That is a great idea, O OneOfThePinkBits.
    There are several ideas beginning to gel now and there will be a thread about it in the next few days.
    We really appreciate that you guys are thinking about what can be done.
    A BIG THANK YOU, ALL!!!
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Ok guys I may not be able to make the ride on Saturday I have a few family friends staying at my place for my uncles birthday, So MStrs and Tart...I probably won't need that bed but thanks for offering.

    Also just a reminder for those that want to come and have a drink with my awesome parents, meeting of my twin sister and my older sister. Drinks are at the Tamatea Motor Inn at the pub that is attached (Sorry don't know the name). I'll probably be there after 6pm.

    And yes just when you thought it was safe there are TWO of us

    Thanks for the offer, but no need.

    We're fine, just helping some others out down the road in the low areas.
    The Stoney Creek Christian camp on our road has organised some of their ilk to help too, so the big fella upstairs will be helping out as well.........
    Should only be for around 4 hrs or so, but alas cuts into the ride time.

    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Hi Cola.
    Well spotted mate. We had to keep this event quiet cos of the weather and the TV people needed time to get the filming etc done. It was a great day. The program will be on TV in November, I think. The Zuki roll over was a bit scary. I was standing 3 meters from were it landed. Ouch.
    We are hosting the H/B leg of the national champs at Easter next year. Could be a go. Camp here and enjoy the days entertainment.
