So I spose the real question is: do those of us who turned up at Silverdale (that's both of us) according to the plan, and waited and waited, and then went off to the other Silverdale BP, just in case, and waited, and waited, and phoned, and got no reply, and started to mutter darkly about typical KB f*ckup, then shrugged our shoulders and went off to do our own thing, harbour any resentment against those responsible for this organizational shambles?

Nah. We had a great day. Met some new friends, possibly recruited some new KBers, saw no rain, hardly any HP, and lots of bikes on the road. And of course SH16 was as enjoyable as ever despite a little more traffic than usual.

Anyone up for a quick blat tomorrow - 1pm at Hardware Cafe in Titirangi? Got the bike back wanna get back out there as much as possible before work kills me again....

Mebbe.
I'll see what the vifferbabe reckons tomorrow.

What do you mean, do we?


OF COURSE WE DO!!!!!!!


But, being good people, we forgive and forget pretty quickly (though perhaps you quicker than me on the latter one, I've got more hair to help keep it in there), especially after a good day's ride anyway...


But it would have been good to meet some of you KBers I haven't met before.... whens the next one?

[loosebruce]

Yeah great day more than I planned for but it beat gardening by a freckin long way.

The route we tok was Hamilton Tekowhai Whatawhata Te Awamutu Kihikihi Pawera down western by pass to Whakamaru across the damn then towards Tokoroa up old taupo rd over pukeatua to state 1 then left and Mangatartiri ? around back of kairapiro to cambridge up Kiapaki road to Ohaupo Up Peacocks road then back in Hammy.

Good long ride. I did ask how long you wanted "all day" was the response so there it was a good all day ride !

Good to meet you all, its always neat to meet those that you know online
Now time for a beer

What a great day yesterday. Good to meet some new faces and the ride through Waikato was amazing. Hard to forget ringing the Virago out at 170k and being passed by Death_Inc on one wheel. Some amazing riding. Good fun. Thanks guys, look forward to next time.

[Draco]

Hey Briano, i see you managed to find the sight, welcome to KB and welcome to your wife too (has she signed herself in yet?). Nice to meet you guys and glad you enjoyed the ride, look forward to the next one. I think it must be time to hit spank up for recruitment commission?!

Cheers Draco.

[BRIANO]

Mary came home buzzing from the ride. Talked about getting her own bike. Woke up the next day & the idea had gone away. No she doesn't have a sign on. DOesn't use the PC much. Looking forward to next time...
