I'm keen !!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds like shit hot fun! Offer read and now being carefully considered...

**Hitcher** · 15th November 2004, 18:12

Are you going through Te Kuiti or down SH4 and then across to Highway 30 via the Kopaki saddle? (Getting keener by the minute here...)

**mangell6** · 15th November 2004, 18:17

Intention is gas up at Te Kuiti and then go down SH30, but we could double back down SH4 go over the Kopaki saddle to SH30 . . . . .

I was tempted to automatically include you . . . . .

I'ld be happy to do the midnight bar-b-que thing to support the team as you come through New Plymouth!

Sauages and coffee anyone?

**Riff Raff** · 15th November 2004, 19:04

Is this ride sponsored by Red Bull???

**Hitcher** · 15th November 2004, 19:22

I've thought about it carefully. A ZRX1200R and rider will be gassed and ready to go from Shell Mana at 7:00pm!

We'll be in Chch at the first round of the Nationals. I don't like night riding so I wouldn't do it anyway, but I would have come to farewell you if I was in town.

Happy planning! (I suspect you'll get a few others along too.....)

I could also offer free bed and breakfast for up to 4 or so of the group, if anyone decides, (upon arriving in NP) maybe the whole ride at night might be a bit much. (ie. raining, cold, tiredness, Honda/Suzuki/Yamaha broken down etc.)

You guys aren't going to be stopping every 5 minutes to go to the toilet cause you had a cup of tea, eh?

Damn old people and their Woolworths bladders...
