The organisational brains and effecting of the programme are psy-guy and Flying Crocagator, cheers guys for a great ride, a fantastic destination with RESERVED Seating no Less! another thanks to Colin for that thoughtful idea.
While the weather didn't co operate at the last , it did hold for most of the day.
had a blast.
Great to have our Napier Division representatives with us (Wickle and Diesel Dick)and to have ANOTHER XV , I'm so happy!@#$% Nice one cmoore, she's a little ripper and we didn't mind helping out with the occassional jump either. twas a pleasure.
To our Hammy Diviosin, we missed ya's , pity you couldn't make it but hey the STICKETS went down like Hot Cakes.
All in all a great First Anniversary Ride for the BFTP.Next years will be bigger I'm sure.

Thankfully, he appeared to be looking for another bunch headed for Fungaray. That boy is a first class fruitloop.

Neat day out, guys. Nice to meet the new couple on the Guzzi too, and the guys from down the line.

The weather made things a little challenging, but it couldn't spoil a good ride!

Bring it on cmoore

Hey guys! What a great time. Great to meet Dieseldick, Wickle, cmoore, Locko and Dodgys mates (didn't get their names

).

Have been going through about forty videos trying to sort some out that feature each rider. Unfortunately the batteries ran out quarter of the way back and it looks like I need to brace the camera bracket as the wobbling makes viewing hard work and to further exasperate the problem I had it set on 4 times zoom for about half of the clips. While the zoom is better to see the riders in front it makes the wobbling reaaaal bad.

Will look at uploading some videos and will post links soon here are some links to some stills (for some reason I can't post pics to this thread???)

Thanks everyone for coming. Especially Dieseldick and Wickle for coming from so far. It was great to catch up. Hopefully we will do a trip down to see you before too long.

I'll try and post that one up as well. But some of them are a minute or two long (big files) and take over half an hour to upload to photobucket.

Still waiting for Wickle's one to upload so I can start the next one

**flyingcrocodile46** · 30th August 2009, 21:18

Oops, sorry Wickle.. ain't you. and started the next upload so you will be number 4

Hey cmoore!.. looking good

**psyguy** · 30th August 2009, 21:39

hey croc, these videos are fantastic!

was nice to see all you guys in big numbers today and nice meeting new faces.
thanks croc for organising the cafe at mangawhai heads. i know your squid was all that great

but that place is a good destination for our rides i recon.

few peeps suggested to have less stops and more ride so we'll aim for that next time.

oh, nearly forgot... zooks rule !
