It seems that all are home safe and had a fantastic time. Sorry about the confusion over the meet at BP Bayview...'somebody' is making a habit of needing rescued on the Napier-Taupo road....
Hope we made up for that later?
Twas a pity that the the Busa's and Chanceyy weren't able to fully enjoy their day, but that's motorcycling I guess. There'll be other times eh guys?

You meant the third time is worrying you? And no worries on the rescue. We didn't do much really. Steve and Warwick are the real heroes...we only orchestrated it.
And get better soon....

Want to add my $0.02. Great weekend.

Pretty sure it was enjoyed by all. A big thanks goes out to the Hawakes Bay crew, especially MSTRS and Yungatart, you guys and gals have some very fine roads in that part of the country with the weather to boot.

Look foward to doing it all again next year (probally with heated grips)

Oh an for all those that are interested I did (as well as most of the Auckland crew [well those that didnt use the back of the ute

]) just under 1300km with, average speed of 95kph

Thanks you lot..we hope you enjoyed your HB sojourn as much as we did.

Another bit of luck and brilliant timing ensured I arrived at the gas station just as the lead riders were leaving and I was able to just join in.
Thanks for the guide - both personal and group guides.
We all had a blast. Will have to do it again.

A good weekend, even if I did have my own personal rain cloud on the way home - blue sky everywhere but it was raining over me - WTF?
My boy Robert enjoyed it as well - good to get him away from the TV....

Thanks to all who made this weekend turn out to be a great one. A ride can never be successful unless you have the participants!

Unfortunately, I had to take a step backwards this weekend due to becoming crook, so I only got to see a small slice of the lovely roads in Napier

Wont be going to a hot climate before going down to Turangi next year! I guess having a broken heater wouldnt help either

Now Im stuck @ home till next Monday with Bronchitus

Lucky you. I found out I have a small tear in the waterproof lining of my cordura suit.....right in the squeek zone. Drips of icy cold water filled my undies from Tiahape to Hunterville!
