Fantasmic ride today apart from the trouble Horse had..
Big thanks to Cowboyz' sister and brother and law and Mrs and Mr Yod for the freakin' awesome hospitality.

Cheers guys for the awesome day out! Bloody shame about Horse's bike, but at least it's not a major and just an inconvenience for him.
We got to meet cowboyz sister Ruthie and hubby Gareth, who put on a great feed and supplied drinks. It was nice to be offered a beer instead of the bash..................(Private joke)
I got to ride over the Rimutaka’s for the first time today and can now understand what all the fuss is about. Other than traffic, it rocks!
I was a tad knackered by the time I got home and phone messages put paid to the pub plans I had. At least I got to have tea before I started counting sheep in front of the tv!

Great day out!

Good to catch up Sels even if only for a short time and great to see dad and son out riding together

Seems you all had a good ride! Nice to see the Blue VFR on the road (Legally I suppose)

As usual good company, food and hosbitality. And for the record we left on time. We failed to discover the whereabouts of Wherethefuckarewe tribe but had a good go at it with Gerble going left when the rest of the group going right, maybe another time perhaps. Both ways were no exits but obviously none of us can read road signs. Myself relying on my trusty mapbook and the usual suspects relying on Meanies GPS. Did stumble apon everyone at the metropolis that is Martonborough though.

Riding behind Horse coming down into Upper Hutt there was aloud "CRACK" and the Electra Glide suddenly grew a tail. To Horses credit he did manage to get the behemoth gracefully over to the verge without causing any havoc to following motorists. A few quick calls and recovery was organised. Probably was recovered quicker than Sarah was last week I should imagine.

Meanie was kind enough to escort me to Lances sis's for a late lunch and then a touch of lane spitting though the traffic to balmy Palmy. Couple of cokes at the Yods then of home.

Thanks all for an enjoyable days riding.

Collected my first card at Houhora on Saturday. Had a nice pootle north from Hamilton. Overnighted in Dargaville on Friday. Did well with the first card - got a King of Clubs.
Next weekend will head for Te Araroa. via Rotorua. Not sure which day yet or whether or not I will attempt it all there and back in one day from Hamilton.
Our last weekend will include Rahotu and Lake Ferry.

mint. I actually forgot about the card. Mine was a 2 of hearts which is worth forgetting about really. unless I get another 3 of them!


We will be on the east cape on Friday and then in northland on sat.

Awesome, look foward to it.
Saw them in Vegas, looked like they might be heading for reasonable weather as it looked quite clear up the bay way.
Day one might be a minter!

A little birdy mentioned last night mentioned the Concourse was falling to bits(well not quite but hey lets not let the truth get in the way of a good story).

Any more updates Monie?
