    Mahia Mayhem

    Ok so I was talking to a KBer that I'd accosted while he was out and about (shopping for food as it was). And, as you do we got yarning about trips and gigs and various escapades over the summer break - well his actually coz I broke my bike. This was great and so was that etc...

    We came up with an idea somewhere in there.. Mahia Mayhem.
    Ok so it's not really going to be 'mayhem' but the idea is that it will be held at (or near Mahia). It's relatively central for North Islanders and would make a nice alternative for the Southy's. There are camping grounds in Mahia with good facilities. Mahia is quite popular so there's no guarantee that there'll be sites available (hence the early notice) but because there are a couple of KBers who have local connections (notably me) and access to the only hire business in Wairoa (that my Daddy owns) - the intention is to have facilities (Portaloo's, shower water - all that good stuff) on a site that we can have a camp out at. Yes it will be a little rough and ready but you'd be there for a good time not a long time. It's not meant to be a "Biker Trash Everything Party" more like a BBQ and a few drinks get together without the stress of having to be somewhere the next day...

    For those of you that have ridden up that way - you'll know it's a beautiful part of the country, with some great riding roads. Napier and Gisborne aren't too far away for creature comforts (Even Wairoa has running water now!) There are pubs at Mahia and Wairoa (and a couple of others around the place) there's places to buy food and you could even chuck out a fishing line and catch a fish if you felt that way inclined....

    The idea is to have it in early February 2008 so the weather will be more settled and there won't be as many people around.

    Anyways this is just an ideas thread so whattaya reckon?

    Good on yah Colapop, think its a great idea, give us a yell if you want some help. That sounds like a good time to have a get together, place is not so busy. You know there is a nice Tavern in Mahia, Does good meals etc, a takeaway shop and store, and around on the north side of the peninsula is also a nice Cafe. The camping ground also has a shop.A good ride would be Mahia Wairoa,Frasertown,Tiniroto (pub stop) Gisborne and back to Mahia, good day ride
    Cheers.

    Only a few bits... It rattles but hums nicely so all good.

    The ride down the coast through Tauranga, BOP, East cape, Gisborne, Mahia is one of the most scenic in the country.

    Mahia - beautiful spot. Was there a quite few years ago now for work and remember the place quite clearly, the pine trees, the deep water, clean air.

    February next year...mmmm, that might be doable.

    Already expressed my love of the idea to you Col,(and not in that way you gutter rats! ) and if I get sick of you all, I can piss off to my mummys to sulk! Bring it on! If you need a hand organising anything, I'll give you my mums number, lol, I mean, you can ask me when you drop my stand off to me!

    Mr Sensible: Motor camp in the pine trees no longer there, now an up market subdivision;

    Upmarket?!? It's more like a vacant lot! If push comes to shove I'll organise a paddock close by with enough amenities to ensure it's not too feral. Hopefully should be able sort that out...
