Thanks Quasi!

[V Twin Raver]

Yes, a great weekend had by myself & Jane - only problem being, that despite the rain & wind on Saturday, Jane enjoyed herself so much that I fear she will want to be part of every ride I go on from here on. Maybe if I were to ride at 90km/h everywhere she would get bored and leave the bike riding passtime to me.

A big thanks to Bret & Paula - AWESOME EVENT & thanks for putting us up on Friday night - you have set the bar for event organisation and it is going to be tough to beat that one. Also to Mr & Mrs F/F & K/K Family - thanks for your support throughout the weekend and I am thankful that by the weekends end, the trailer only went along for the ride.

It was great to put some faces to the names & catch up with any of you - some I did not get to meet but another place, another time. Can't wait for the next one.

I have just got over the WICKED headache. I don't think I'll drink again.

Obviously, a huge thanks to you know who for you know what. Well done. Thanks to F/F and KK senior, you guys rock. Good to have a druken chat with both of you in the pool. What was hilarious, was after 30minutes of drunken ramblings, and making sure that "when you're down in Wellington, make sure you stop in for a coffee and a yarn" I'm told, "Well, I've never met this White trash guy everyone seems to know, I wouldn't mind catching up with him."

Riiiiigghhttttt.

Waking up Sunady morning after leaving the pool at 2:30 I'm greeted by Hayden grinning away, "Did you sleep well?"

Aparently, a couple of comedians from Wgtn had climbed into our room, short-sheeted and lined with potato chips the only double bed in the room. The very same one that The Handbrake and I had graciously offered to Mad Duck and her partner Ian.

Step outside, the Trash mobile is now the "Rash mobile".

After leaving, had a nice traffic free fang in the car to National Park, down the road a bit, Mr Plod coming the other way hooks a neat little u-ey and pulls ol' Trashy over.

Thanks for not being a patronising prick and letting us on our way quickly. Makes a change.

Got home, dropped the Handbrake off, over to some friends place to watch the Rossi show with Deano then home to bed.

My head still hurts!

[Ms Piggy]

Thanks also to 'persons unknown' who decided to 'decorate' CSL's and my 'bitchmobiles' with vast quantities of duct tape. We didn't actually get to see the results.

Yes I was most dissapointed I didn't get to see the bitchin mobile all trussed up but I did hear that there were pictures taken ?????

Thanks though to the sisterhood who removed that sticky stuff from our babies & meted out their wrath on those who know who they are.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Speaking of pictures, there is now a folder in the gallery for you all to add pictures of any sort..... As long as they were taken on the rally

The highlights of mine will be going in tomorrow - I dont have time today

Thanks to Mr and Mrs Quasi Mr and Mrs FF Kwaka kid and his dad and everyone else for making it a great weekend.

[Motoracer]

I must say that I haven't appreciated a nice hot shower like I did straight after getting into our motel, in a long long while. I was VERY impressed by the organisation skills of Bret and Paula and everyone else who was involved in making this Rally possible. I mean, the attention to detail was just brilliant!! In my book, this event gets a 10/10!!

It was nice to finally meet some of the people from other parts of the country who aren’t really involved in racing/track riding. It was also nice to meet the usual non-local hard arse fast dudes again. I was happily drunk all thanx to FF and Cajun for shouting me the piss. Oh yea, thanx again FF for giving me the kick up the bum to make me ride in the rain. I did enjoy myself once I got into it and the brakes weren’t really a problem. I think you will be proud of me, TS, Darkdream, 6Chris6, Zaph and erik for coming via SH22 on the way back to Auckland. If you are wondering why we didn’t catch up to you, we had to stop to patch up my bike cause the fairings came loose on my bike.

After getting 8 hours of sleep for the last 72 hours and having a hangover, I came home and only managed to watch bits of MotoGP during which my eyes were opening and closing shut until I watched you know who win the race. After that, I managed to collapse in bed for 14 hours straight!

Awesome riding CK and TS mainly but almost everyone else was riding brilliantly as well. A huge credit goes out to all of us for not binning it, despite the terrible conditions of Day1.

P.S. Cheers for the pics and Quasie YOU DA MAN!!

I must say it was great to take my one of 200 (Yeah right) and compare story's with 3 others on the same bike. THANKS SUZUKI

Once again, big -ups to the Quasievils for organising such a great event. Also, big respect to Quasi for sticking to his guns when a certain motelier decided he wanted twice as much money when it came time to leave!!

Great fun all round even though the wife and I did turn in early on Saturday (thanks for talking to her TS at dinner and spreading all those horrid untrue stories about the way I ride! I owe ya one mate :P )

So whos going to post the story about the REAL banana man?

I'm definitely impressed that no one binned (can't really count MikeL's little snooze as he got off the bike in Tokaanu!) - a credit to the wise words from FF, Quasi and Nodman in Hamilton methinks.

LMAO, No worries but i think she knew everytime you blitzed past the support vehicles.......

[Cajun]

i will post about the real bananman

MR F/F decided he wanted to take the mighty role of banana man off my young shoulders after a few to many rums he decided a banana sticking out of his pants was a good looking site, and going around jiggling at people and chasing another young lad who has a couple of yellow bikes and got scared of rain decided to go rest of way in van dc:<. Then slowly getting dragged away by Mrs F/F

Next morning wake up with banana in his pants, wondering how it got there.
And they say us young ones are bad

[Coldkiwi]

eh what? You think i'm stupid too? Only time I passed Paula's car it was at about 110km! I'm not out to deliberately give myself grief. Mind you, I think enigma complaining about not being able to catch up despite pulling some eeer 'high speeds' (you know you want to get rid of those 207's mate!) probably didn't help my cause either

oh well - it'll work itself out. Could be for the best anyway

Cajun, I note Dave hasn't posted anything yet. Might still be in bed with a banana recovering do you suppose?
