Newbies' Overnighter. Kawhia 29-30 March.

Would have liked to join you lot and even play pack mule for the littlies. However, we have tickets for the Mission concert that weekend.

Yeah I know, but we bought them before they traded Tom Jones for John Mellenkamp and Jimmie Barnes for Elvis Costello. I reckon I've got grounds for a complaint to the Commerce Commission.

Hopefully a Triumphant weekend rather than a Zuki one.

Date change. Date change.!!!

Sorry bout this guys, but I double booked my weekend.

That is the weekend of the Triumph National Rally near Rotorua, and since I'm a member of the TOMCC Hamilton, its best I front up and help out.
I've missed so many of their meetings the last six mths that I will get my balls chopped off if I fail to attend.
Hope the new date of 29-30/ March is suitable to most.
Humble apologies.

Best maps I have found, which include road state and names, are the AA maps available from their offices at $3.95.
They are, however, not waterproof and turn to mush in ones pocket...a bit hard to read after that!

Those little $3.95 maps are free if you're an AA member (or know someone who is

). They just need to swipe your membership card and you're good to go.

PS I'm lurking in your forum 'cause this stuff looks like fun

No worries on the new date here. As long as the troops make sure that there are adequate beer & red wine supplies for the chef I'm sure I can handle the BBQ operation

Cheers
Clint

Might be able to make that weekend and help spread the load.
The suspension mods should be complete by then too so Crisis Mismanagement could get that thrash that he was looking for.

**offrd** · 21st January 2008, 20:28

I could be pretty keen if there is any room left somewhere

Lets see what we can put in the bags to replace the stuff i never needed last trip.... Beer, beer and mmm beer!

If all spots are taken then thats cool tho

**tri boy** · 21st January 2008, 20:39

Everyone is welcome.

I would suggest clicking on the calender thread/date and registering peoples attendance interest though.
People can always deregister, but it just helps to know who is interested at the time so others can organise ride outs together etc.
We can sort out rooms later on, (hell, Kanny will probably kick out into a tent anyhow)

Some of the Waikato Road bike guys may even come out on the seal and stay the night.

Is it just my brail is not very good or has someone taken the link for the calender?????? I cant seem to see it!

**tri boy** · 21st January 2008, 21:20

Click on the 29th of March in the calender.
I'm waiting on a mod to change the date at the thread name.

We have found a supplier of 1.5L bottles of Sicilian red wine. Advanced postgraduate research has shown that these will fit into the bottle holders on the back of Clint's panniers.

**tri boy** · 30th January 2008, 15:27

Thats one of the more worthwhile bits of postgrad research I've heard of for a long time.

Once i get through this weekends Raggamuffin Reggae Fest

, the sth island passes ride

, and the Triumph National Rally

, I will be ready for a well deserved "kick back n relax" session. (except I think I'm supposed to be barman, and breakfast cook), sheesh, no rest for the wicked
