Well better late than never I thought as I pulled into jacksons at 1:15pm, nice afternoon spent with a few other canty kbers, looked like a few pies were had too...... Thanks all for fun ride , anyone get sprang by the mufti on old west coast rd near chch?? hope not..... .![]()
We were all sprang, he/she/it hit the button as they were about to pass us, knowing that they could not do anything about it as the group was riding well bunched (only a good thing in this case) and I know what speed we were doing and it would have hurt
Anyway, awesome ride people (17) a good pace that seemed to suit all, who found it feeling weird with the tail wind while still in the hills... kinda erie aye ya become really intune with the engine and its somewhat quite.
But christ only a cantab would know what the nor west is like, full on aye?

Was a great ridegetting caught amongst traffic at the most inappropriate places was a bit of nuisance and the numbnuts all seemed to be driving Falcons but apart from that
Think a good day was had by all![]()
Geesh hasn't that pub changed !!! just shows what 17yrs can do to a place lols! and the pies were GOOD! no roadkill to be seen anywherebut disappointed there wasn't the infamous B & E pie
The fuelling up on the return was a bit mickey mouse, and the local feathered scoundrels taking a liking to unattended helmets then proceeding to stop traffic was amusing.
About the only hick-up to the whole ride was riding through a dust storm & almost being blown off the road coming out of the Rakaia Gorge![]()
Great to put a few faces to names
How'd Hell Boy get on getting home on that tyre?
Here's a couple of pics

A great days ride had by all. Thanks for setting it up Mr D. I had a ball travelling in the group and meeting some more faces. Looking forward to the Woodstock and meeting up again![]()
Great ride guys, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Great road conditions on the way there, a bit of grit, but not too bad, the weather played along just nicely and the tar was getting a bit soft on the way home. When you all stopped at Arthurs for fuel I carried on to the Bealey and got set up for some pics as you came through. It was nice and peaceful and relaxing and sunny lying there waiting for you all, then I head what sounded like the GP coming through the hills ah this must be them it sounded awesome guys. I got a couple of good shots and a load of shit ones of yas, so lucky you if I got you.
I was getting a bit warm the closer to home I got, and got home to discover it was 32.4 deg ahh, that would be the cause of that then. Climbed out of the leathers and stood in front of the aircon with a cold beer much better.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!
and some more pics

A group of us were out on the same road today - in fact we saw you guys go through while we were parked up at Arthurs Pass. Looked and sounded great! Nice day for it if a little hot. It must have been a lot hotter than 32 degrees - coming down Porters was like coming into an inferno!
