[TonyB]

hahaha, a mates converting it to dvd for me, i have thought about straping the camera to the bike on saturday and get some of you guys on video.

Go on then! That'd be good for a laugh.

[Stevo]

I have got the Mrs as far as Chch, but looks as if I will be tagging along to Akaroa with y'all.
I will endeavour to be at the pub by 1130 cause any earlier means leaving Picton at "too bloody early for a Saturday".

[StoneChucker]

I really wish I could join you guys, sounds like a blast! Work! Some times I feel like

I want to break free
I want to break free,
I want to break free from your lies,
you're so self satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, god knows I want to break free

haha. I'll be thinking of you either on my long ride, or sitting at home if it's raining.

I followed Manuboy....err that should read Manu followed me (cos suzukis dont belong in frount back to the turn off to Gebbys pass were we were going to have a beer at the weetcheif, but Gav was the only bike to come pass in 20min so as I got a txt from SuzyQ I knew all was ok so I buggered off (have to go around to help manu replace a window..... makes me wounder why he befriended me when he is doing up their house and I'm a chippy Every one has checked in but Warren.... were are ya fella.... someone said you stayed in Akaroa, so thats cool.

Great day, fellas! Have to do it again some
Good to meet up with everyone, too.

[onearmedbandit]

Looks like you guys had a great ride. Hope to be able to get out soon myself, however the new position at work has effectively killed weekends off for a while, heck even trying to not go to work on my one day off is nigh on impossible. But I love it.

[Waylander]
