Ride to Raglan and BBQ in One Tree Hill 29/03/08

[TOTO]

The Idea:
Doing a 250cc ride to Raglan On saturday Morning. Back in Auckland in the afternoon (maybe 4 ish). Go trough the butcher, buy meat and drinks and have a BBQ in One tree hill In EJ's honour - since his bike is not fixed yet, he will come to the BBQ (by a cage I presume). Talk bikes and stuff like that.
BBQ will be on if people are interested. Otherwise it will be just a ride to Raglan.

The Plan:
Meeting BP Autobahn Papakura 9:00 am for a 9:30 am blast off.

Thinking of SH22 on the way to Raglan. On the way back we can do SH22 again or try some new route. If someone knows a back route for return you are most wellcome to lead us trough it. GiJoe1313 took us on a back road one time so we will see if we can replicate it. If we get lost we will just get back via SH22 which is a good fun too

Ride is Weather permitting.
Weather Looks good for saturday, but if the forcast is wrong and its raining heavily ride is off.

See you BP autobahn 9:00. Look for a guy with Green/white/Black Leathers - thats TOTO

Keen on the idea, will see if life wants to play ball and not throw too much shit in the way

Theres a few of us adventure riding types wandering that way on saturday via the coast road, if you see a bunch of scruffy trail bikes, triumph scramblers, etc around 1ish at Raglan thats us, wander over & say hello.
I think we might be somewhere near the pub.....

Have a good ride tho, should be a nice day.

Will be keeping an eye out for you Crisis management.

I'm looking like a definite maybe at this stage. Got plans for the arvo/evening so probably can't do BBQ but fingers crossed I can make the ride.

Just the excuse I need to kill my tyres a bit more to justify getting new ones for Taupo

Weather is looking mint on MetVUW too.

Lol Funny you said that. I'm getting new tyres on monday and wanna have one last blast before I do it so I can contrast and compare.

Great minds think alike ...

TOTO, What is the estimated travel time to the destination and back? I've got work at 2 and I'd like to come.

I just found out that to get a new part for my speedo thingy ('Speedo gear box' on the front wheel) it's going to cost me about 170 dollars
I might have to miss this one and be a slave to the parents and earn some moolah.

On a quick note; anyone know of someone with a spare front GN wheel I could get a speedo gear box off for a box of beers?

Dood! so not cool! $170 is seriously painful!
Just learn what revs in what gear is what speed so you dont get a ticket, and you'll have REAL low k's when you come to sell it!

Yus! Tod, our plan to eliminate the GN's are coming through. Now for Dylan's GN... we'll beat them on the gravel one way or another! Muhah, Muhahahahaha
