Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[warewolf]

Ulysses had to move to Zumo after Saltwater (on the waterfront) closed down. They have a standing meeting Sat am every week.

Watch where you park, at Zumo early this week: Shame that picture is cropped; the printed version showed a fireman's boots sticking out of the silver car's window. Was a big hit, 4 cars damaged.

My suggestion would be Oasis, beside the river at Millers Acre (the i-Site complex cnr Trafalgar & Halifax St, DB1k start/finish). It's a bit ma-and-pa but is quite nice to sit outside by the river in the sun, food/coffee/service great, prices reasonable. Again plenty of parking including designated m/c parks.

Let us know the time & venue, I'll try to get there.

There was a light blue-ish mufti cop commodore parked in town yestdy. The usual give-away: cop-worthy steel wheels.

we pick the Norton up on Friday afternoon

shall we aim to meet at Zuma/Oasis at 9ish with a view to leaving Nelson by 9.30ish?

I prolly won't have net access tomorrow so txt me on 0274499115 to let me know which one to be at

James - see you at Riwaka - presumably you guys can figure out when we would get there???

look forward to catching up on Saturday.

What I need is a going bike!!

What about the new cafe Zuma on the corner of Vanguard & Rutherford st. The ulysses guys look like they take it over about 10.30 but aside from that it is central with great parking.

Who's coming? Myself from town & Jatz (at Riwaka)

Should be me too


Where's a latte emoticon when you need one

I have an avanti ? 14 of the 21 gears work I think and it may need some air in the tyres

[Padmei]

OK easiest place to meet is prob the OAsis Millers Acre by the visitors centre. See whoevers coming around 9am. I will text Marks to let him know.

sorry to dick you guys around but we ended up staying near Mapua.

Can we meet at the Smokehouse cafe in Mapua tomorrow morning at 9.30am?

If there is a frost tomorrow I assume there is no point heading over the Takaka hill anytime before 10??

I'll check back later

BTW the norton is a bit of a shitter but seems to go okay(ish) - front brake looks like its a drum off a honda ct90......

[Padmei]

See you there.

just to continue with the dicking around theme.........

Naked bun in Mapua does a pretty good coffee, Shit I may even come out there to meet you......

[Padmei]

Why don't we just spend the day riding laps around Mapua drinking coffee between laps. Saves wasting energy doing all that superfluous stuff like adventuring...

[topo]

might have to wave you lot off from the naked bun, right before i go for a real "adventure" ride to somewhere i've never been before

[marks]

We'll see your with your naked buns at 9.30

Reeeeealy laid back ride, Nordie'll have some pics later I guess.
At least you took a camera, mind you I was too busy trying to keep up and keep the bike going where I wanted it to go I wouldn't have had time for pics

Note to self...... ditch E-08's on little bike
