Thanks Quasi!

[NC]

Ahhhhhh we wondered where you both were all night

Damn! damn you!

[Kwaka-Kid]

Big Ups to Quasi and his Wife. Top job, i dont think anybody could have organised it better.

Awesome night and what a laugh, I apologise to anybody i insulted including the young boy whom i soon enough found out (the hard way) was not a boy. Oh and esp. to FF but dude you SO started that.

Thanks to everybody for making it what it was and going out there and not letting that weather get to you, also extra thanks to those whom helped consume the steinlager, the following morning left my head pulsating rather nicely, god damn i told you 6chris6 to watch me and make sure i only had 1 beer not 2!!!

Oh, and the stupid honda is semi-fixed (will get me to work tomorrow then the bike shop) till i get battery/regrec. No further comment regarding its coincidental timing of collapse with the weather.

A great weekend. No bins, only 1 ticket reported so far, some superb riding weather today and great roads, only a couple of mechanical problems - Affman's broken clutch cable in Ngaruawahia was definitely genuine, whereas a certain other young gentleman's claims of reg/rec failure on a Honda VFR (hard to believe, innit??) which forced him to sit in a van gnashing his teeth and watching the rest of us communing with the elemental forces of nature, are looking increasingly suspicious...
Full marks to Quasievil and Mrs Quasi for their organisational skills.
It was a great opportunity to put a few more names to faces, particular the non-Jafas. Sorry I didn't get to socialize much with the Wellywood set - I guess I'm shy, too...
Another good thing to come of this weekend: having shared a room with a certain person from Tokoroa I now have a rejoinder when my wife complains about my snoring.
Hmm, Badlieutenant, I might not have given that feijoa-vodka a fair go. I think it could grow on you.
Lots of good things, but the best had to be getting into that hot pool just minutes after arriving, having started to suffer the effects of incipient hypothermia.
Now all I have to do is figure out a cool way to wear my bandana...

only 1 ticket reported so far,

...ah no-no son. The trash mobile got more action than the duct tape....but I'll let the owner fill you in when his head isn't feelin' so done in. ...

[Posh Tourer :P]

Now all I have to do is figure out a cool way to wear my bandana...

With 8 different configurations expertly illustrated, I think the first step is to master each one, and then see which one best suits your personal feng-shui

[FROSTY:Me]

I'mm soo happy for you lot.
Personally I'm totally gutted due to a certain bike shop letting me down badly. I had a half day organised and planned on meeting you lot at the pools

[Stevo]

Ok. Having read the thread I am gutted at having not made it across the ditch and up there. Pity as a couple other mainlanders were planning on coming up from CHCH AS WELL. Apparently they missed the cut off date or something. Maybe I need to learn to negotiate the site better rather than spending all my time in forums................. is that the prob?

I think us mainlanders would enjoy getting to know yall. Glad everyone had a safe weekend though!!

That is the main thing

the heads been better thanks mate and Id like to congratulate you on some of the most creative breathing excercises Ive heard performed, I did get worried for a little bit when I was sure your esophagus had collapsed but fortunately you rattled back to life after a few minutes and the show went on.
hehe good to hear you made it back safe and sound.

[magnum]

never heard a thing!!! hope you had earplugs

[badlieutenant]

never heard a thing!!! hope you had earplugs

[Velox]

Yep - great time!
Just a few comments first ...
Hooks - must've been cause there was no-one there to throw them at!
Handbrake - "mischief"?
MikeL - what bandanas?


Wgtn Ride back lowdown:
Beeeeeeautiful! I'd been looking foward to hitting the Paraparas for so long and they were great! Pretty much how I expected. Probably the best weather we could have possibly wanted and roads to match (well 53km's of it anyway). We (Jazbug, CSL, StoneChucker, Mr and Mrs Bungbung, MrMelon, V-Twin and me) headed over the Paraparas (where Deano and Hayden left us in their dust), from Wanganui across to Palmy and then just down SH1. The best find of the day though was an awesome restaurant/shearer's bar at the bottom of the Paraparas with a huge garden/outdoor eating area, real nice old decor inside (including the furry wallpaper of course!), another whole bar full of old shearing equipment, and a couple of old locals telling tales at the bar. (Oh - and a rather unfortunate Corgi). Really good kai too! So, I recommend that to anyone after they've gone for a blast over the hill.
But yep - it was all good except for the cop down the road. Not good at all. Just for interest sake - at that particular time V-Twin you were doing 126kmph and Bungbung you were at 118. (And they got me ("the second bloke"), and obvously Glenn). Didn't know who was who though apart from the one in front.
So - THANKS QUASI (and Mrs) again!!! Oh - and Firefight for the sirclip!

[Velox]

One more thing - who was it that was asleep in the pool? Sorry - I forgot cause I met heaps of people! Have you recovered mate? - People were checking your pulse!
