Could I tell you some stories!

I have a classic involving a 7 series BMW, a Lancer and a driver that didn't actually drive anything.

Meet in Palmerston North. I will consult with Gary about the time and place but I suggest 10 AM at the start of the Pahiatua Track.

Pahaitua Track - regroup in Pahiatua just before the main street.

Back roads to Alfredton, then Te Ore Ore (bypassing central Masterton).

Wainuioru and around to join the road north of Gladstone.

Gladstone (not the pub) to Longbush to Martinborough.

Lunch in Martinborough.
The Village Cafe - spacious, room for our gear, and a good menu.

North to Ponatahi, brief stops at Stonehenge Aotearoa and The Haunted House, back roads to Masterton.

Tiki Tour through the centre of Masterton and Queen Elizabeth Park.

Back roads to Mauriceville and Eketahuna.

Final regroup at the Tui Cafe, Mangatanoika.

Return to the Manawatu via the gorge or track.

Cheers Gary!

Still thinking on that one. I do like those roads and Martinborough.

Only had one day off a week these last three weeks.

Just in from a lovely start to the weekend and in the nick of time buy the noise from the roof

Great to meet Rattus Rattus at ANZA this morning and what a gorgeous new bike

(even though it is a harley and the wrong colour

)

Sorry if I was a bit jaded, bourboun, chardonnay and brandy last night made getting up early this morning a tad of a challenge

The Pieman and Brett did a lovely job of dinner but the quiet evening turned into a bit of an all night session and I am getting too old for it!!

Anza shortly after nine to get the 'Bluebird' was a struggle but I made it and got to witness cheesy grins as R. Rattus and Pieman got their new wheels. Don't you love that, reminds you of when you picked up your latest love

:

Brunch at Cuba then as the Bretts headed back to Napier Horse and I decided to go for a spin. Pohongina valley east road has really cleared up and with the red devil on the back the beast was really great on the twisties even on the slightly damp roads.

We hit a slight shower apiti and then let it chase us home. Followed the tracks into Palmie for Horses fix.

Traffic was hell in the square so left the blue cleavage collection til next week

Two years and another paper done so celebrating with dinner for two and a hot fire seems a very good idea. Planning a warm up for the grand challeneg tomorrow if anybody wants to join in. Got my ticket so committed now ( not before time eh).

Hope CDr's have a fun party, looking forward to next saturday
