BFTP - Blast From The Past Rides

**caseye** · 16th February 2010, 16:00

Letting the Holiday Park Association know what happened to us was a mistake! They simply forwarded my email to the Taumaranui Holiday Park (In which I specifically stated "I did not want to make it a formal complaint") No matter I've received an email from the THP and it tells me I got it wrong! Was I there? think I was! Ah what the hell, in case any KB'ers didn't get the message the Taumaranui Holiday Park made our stay unpleasant and invited us in no uncertain terms to pack our gear and leave, not going there again unless it's sold or hell freezes over.

Great weekend, Trina was a bit dubious about coming away on her little 2008 Keeway Super Shadow with a bunch of older bikes but she had a ball and thanks everyone (as I do) for being so friendly and welcoming. Hate to say it but Mr Boofhead probably did us a favour, gave us a great conversation piece and united us as one.

Absolutely Brilliant weekend and I dont think I want to wait another year to meet up with all you guys again! maybe 6 monthly would be good.

I second that Murray - 6 months time would be good....a year is too long a wait. I said to FridayFlash (Eddie) wish we could just keep riding had a blast, but alas back to reality now.

Next time I will ride my gb

Lovely to meet so many nice people and say a special hello to Trina from me - she is a doll
