[StoneChucker]

I hope your offer of going for a ride, "Learn to play golf" and stay the night is still valid? Or... is it a mulliga.... no, Heineken Nice to meet ya btw.

Well I have finally got my PC to stay connected longer than 3 minutes at a time and can now throw my thanks up here ... both to Mr. & Mrs. Evil for the event itself .... and to Mr. & Mrs Cajun for allowing me to snore up a storm in their room after I succumbed to the heineken diet I was on !! I piked early in the end due to a lack of practice in the drinking dept and probably have the distinction of being the only one to have suffered a mechanical breakdown on the way up after my clutch lever bolt failed to remain in place !! .... Oh well it is an old bike after all .....
Anyhow great weekend with great people, can't wait for the next one .....

My goodness hooks. I think you need to find some superglue to keep your bike together.

BTW if you want to borrow my haynes manual anytime you are welcome to. Covers your bike.

[Coldkiwi]

Is that why you are contemplating taking up a new pass time......in the interests of continued amicable wedded relations??

yeah thats part of it, but i've been questioning myself on the wisdom of doing those speeds anyway. I've been lucky so far with no high speed encounters with pigs (of either kind), tractors, potholes or other bikers but I don't think that luck will last forever and I'd enjoy having a slightly safer (but no less thrilling) version of motorcycling that I can share with the wife.

Ive got a 150 two stroke, my bike doesnt even go over 70

yeah i was wondering why the cop was flashing me!! and how it cost $11 something for 90km!!

Anyway, I took a few fotos, they're up in the gallery now. The photo of Celtic_Sea_Lily's and Jazbug's duct taped bikes is there, as are a few blurry photos of Motoracer and TwoSmoker going around that corner by the cafe (actually, they're not that blurry, not all of them... but it's bloomin' difficult taking good photos of fast moving bikes)..

Cheers for the pics erik. Shit! My Cafe pics look embarrassing, even if I was hungover... The bike's almost upright with my knee trying way too hard to reach for the ground.

I better get my shit together and pull out some respectable times at the track this weekend to regain some dignity.

Your pics look mean as though TS!!

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!

why am I not surprised by any of this, btw my toe hurts

Cheers mate !! I might just grab it sometime soon and spend some time going over her from top to bottom ..... god knows she needs it !! .... And I think I'm out of superglue now too !!! ..... :confused2

Try the silver duct tape. It's very good; ask WT if he'll do a custom 'fix' on your bike... amazing stuff..

[toads]

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!!
.

WHAT!!!!, that's shocking good on ya Quasi, it's a wonder the guy had the cheek to ask for more $ seeing a few of us got crook from the chicken eh!

[badlieutenant]

probably he was encouraged to do it i suspect. I felt sorry for the weaner. :disapint: but then we make our own beds..........

I've used all my tape as a child restraint !! .... the bike will have to get by with the old nuts & bolts I find following along behind Ducatis !!!

[StoneChucker]

What is the whole story of the guy asking for more money? What happened? Do tell, so as I can make up my mind whether to go back there again

Well we had a very agreed in my mind firm agreement to the price of the accomodation on a per person basis, on paying the balance he decided he would change the deal to a room by room basis meaning a big difference, I did stick to my guns, well mostly,we did have a budget blow out but no matter Spank is getting $300 for his new OS that he needs so Hey we had lots of fun and we all made some coin for the legendary Spank in the process. So no complaints really.
Personally I think the guy at the Oasis was being a bit dodgy in trying that one on, should heard him complain about noise the mess around the pool blah blah blah, the pool was in great nick I went to clean up and found 1 cig butt and 1 bottle top, maybe someone cleaned it before me ?
I would go again but I would get it in writing next time.

[MikeL]

we did have a budget blow out

Just make sure that you are not out of pocket personally because if it did turn out a bit more than anticipated I'm sure we would all be happy to divvy up.

BTW what was this about the chicken? (I had the T-bone...)
