    Know your feeling there,same here...Booked all anticipation of great time,then check out work roster and see doh,been seconded to work for someone who wants Friday off as well wtf,all this after getting organised fro weekend.

    If the ride is going to come via Taumaranui,Forgotten Highway and Paraparas let us know approx leaving time,will try to hook up at Whanga pub and enjoy the ride back to Hawera.

    Also if doing this ride,if you want to stop at the Whanga pub for lunch,it would pay to ring them and say 50 people are coming,also a good cafe just prior to the pub.Or else in Hawera there are a few cafes open,they are all within about 1 km of each other,so no worries of too many people at one time,some might have a personal choice,but all are good,and gas stations open,on Sundays in Stratford,Eltham,Hawera,Patea so once in Stratford no worries about fuel,just none between Taumaranui-Stratford 150km.

    Well i have the gate pass granted but.....

    Its my oldest daughters birthday that weekend, the big 10 going on 25!

    She is pretty keen to jump on the back for a ride so i might let her tag along and if it gets too much for her we can cruise off home early.

    God, don't time fly.
    My bike was still in the container on the way from the Isle of Wight this time last year, so we had to go in the truck. Thankfully, we were made more than welcome, and had an absolute hoot.
    This time, I've got a dentists appt taking 70% of this weeks wages, so will be riding down for the Saturday social only I'm afraid (late booking dependent.).
    Aside from the dental, I'm meant to be spending the whole weekend revising for a very important career changing exam I'm due to sit on Tuesday, so must apologise for what appears to be a lack of effort, but this really has come at what could not be a more skint/crucial weekend.
    Still, see you there chaps.

    Sooo blaaardy tempted to throw my 14 yr old on the back and treat her to a weekend away BUT 10 going on 25 ya could get away with but 14 looking 20, i dont know if its such a good idea lol !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Wow its really hot outside

    BULA! BULA!

    Qkchk and Qkkid checking in from Nadi, Fiji. Weather over here has been a steady 28degrees with the ocean as warm as 28-29degrees. Ha, bet we will freeze our arses off when we get back!

    Have checked out the metservice website and it looks like we may have some awesome weather installed for the weekend! Huge high over the tasman on Friday so we should be sweet for some awesome riding!

    Well ,we better get back to lazying around the pool and getting burnt, see you turkeys on Saturday (and Friday for those who are coming down earlier!)

    Looking at the photos from last years trip, the sunday we had about 15 bikes parked up. Through a few pillions into that, and a couple of people that stayed back in Turangi because of mechanical failure.

    20 people enroled so far this year.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Not to sure if that is good or bad, big high means frost and fog

    Well it could be, all it takes is for people to come along for a good weekend of fun and riding.
