I can take the whole day, I just have to fire myself for the day! Depends on you, lets talk it over next weekend on the Raglan ride.

Hi
The hotel is booked out for the night for us!!

Call them and tell them you are with the KB group (motorcyclists)
There is still plenty of rooms left (5 at the time of typing this message)

I guess we can squeeze plenty of the singles together (as long as you dont snore

)

Cheers Scott

I've booked. See you then

**windboy** · 11th May 2007, 14:56

That's correct Zukin!

Only 15 min ago I booked a friend of mine.

Yo crisisman, are you booked?

later,

**young1** · 11th May 2007, 15:25

Thanks they have just explained that they have booked the hotel out for this group so you need to let them know you are part of it.

Phew - I couldnt see my wife staying at the motor camp....

Put us down for 2 on the trip, will meet the the southern group in Wanganui.

This is likely to be our first big ride together, so you have got to treat us "Virgins" well (ie shout lots of rums at the bar!)

The bike isnt a week old yet and only has approx 230kms on the clock (me riding it from Palmy to the Naki). Hope to introduce her to some gravel this weekend, so at least by the time this ride rolls around the trainer wheels will be off the back!

By the way you arent all a bunch of young guys, I am in my 40s.

Hi Young1 - relatively speaking, you are among the youthful members of this trip. I'm a baby boomer who began my riding on a 1952 BSA Bantam in the early the early 60's when triumphs, norton, bsa & velos were king! - the late Bert Munro is a special hero of mine - cheers Aslan

**young1** · 11th May 2007, 16:58

The older someone is the better story they have to tell as the night gets longer!!

**windboy** · 11th May 2007, 17:18

I guess I can still say mid 30s... just.

36...

**ducatijim** · 11th May 2007, 19:54

Whew, big thanx to Zukin 4 clearing up the booking situation, me and she-who-must-be-obeyed are now booked in , so I shall collect my toys from outside the sandpit and go back to looking forward to doing this and meeting you lot!

**Moki** · 11th May 2007, 22:23

Man! you guys don't waste any time. Not sure if my gear dried out yet from Makairo. I'd love to tag along, but instead will be scratching around to find a more suitable ride and get into that gravel!

Karl - put the TKC80's back on and get some gravel riding in before hand - like say the Pohongina Valley in behind Ashurst - this stuff is all about doing the miles and getting our heads (attitudes) in the right space.

Hope to see you at Levin en route to the Whanganui National Park! Cheers Aslan aka Stephen O
