If any one could help it'd be muchly appreciated

Just go for the smallest size, I like a tight fitting Tee

Actually it is the first year they have offered a ladies Tee, the sweatshirts are averages sort of sizes

The pre ordered meal isn't as good as it was 5 years ago, still resonable but some bikers I know are thinking about heading in to Ohakune for a meal on saturday night,

I'm gonna get the breakfast myself. We can rock on up somewhere to get a big feed on Sat night

We need to sort out some meeting points in Auckland and further down if we're gonna ride as a group?

I have been asked if we will be attending Cold Kiwi to make custom molded earplugs for keen riders. Can someone provide me with a contact number? Cheers Sue (Plugz 4 Lugz)

**karmakillernz** · 1st August 2007, 22:21

I'm keen as! It can count as my first rally and camping trip all in one.

It'd be good to have some company on the way up, at least so I don't get lost and end up in Christchurch or something...

Anyone else leaving from the Wellington/Kapiti area?

hehe...I'm heading down on the Friday, by crickey!!!!
Got your number Pyro, so will likely give you a buzz then, eh?

Only 4 weeks to go!!! WOOHOO...

Not sure where we'll park ourselves, but no doubt I'll be able to find you bunch of mecreants soon enough

Well if i am in the country i will be there. thats for certain - however im applying for a job which starts in the UK on the 1st of september.

if im there, we can meet in my street - nobody will have the balls to say anything to a buch of bikers. just beside a m/way entrance too.

alright boys what time are we going down? by my calculation it will take like 5hrs and i'd rather ride down in the sunlight as i took friday off work so what better way spend the day

.... cam if u buy that vtr? can i can the 250 down :d

:d

i will sell cbr to buy vtr. get fairings back tomorow.
what speed and breaks stuff did you use? last time I went down on the rgv I went about 90k and stopped every 100k ish or any petrol station around there. I was being quite cautious though.

I Probably want to leave around 10ish, have lunch on the mountain or somewhere on the way.

so yeah for any other prospective riders with us. we will probably be going slow enough to accommodate an air cooled 150cc 2stroke
