South Island 2006?

**StoneChucker** · 26th April 2005, 20:06

Hell yeah, you know I'm there

For those that don't know, I went on the Sth. Island recce trip with Paul (and others) and he rides at a more than decent pace, taking more than decent routes and he's well, more than decent

I'm happy to ride with you, won't need to shoot ahead (I don't think anyone will have to). I agree with the helping each other out part too, I don't want to huddle next to my bike in the freezing cold until some car drives past (yes winja, even though I AM fat and I won't freeze to death).

Paul, you're the best man for the job in terms of routes, but if you need a hand with anything (info circulation, booking, push starting your guzzi) just give me a yell, I'd be really happy to lend a hand.

Dave.

Paul....... if you need a hand sorting StoneChucker out for his "Guzzi" comment, give 'me' a yell.

Interested in what you have planned and see how we go from there.

Keep me posted matey!
Ya might need a sensible rider to keep the rest in line

This sounds like a great trip!

I havn't even been to the South Island!! (must have been saving myself to experiance it on a bike!!)

I may have a real bike and a green licnese by then too

I like the buddy idea as there wont be people dissapearing so often (and two cellphones are safer/more reliable ) (I'm a diver and tramper so am used to buddy systems)

I think I'll start saving today............

Nevermind sensible, can you get us off tickets???
You can be like that commissioner and step off your bike and allegedly say:
"That won't be necessary son"

I'd like, buy you a pint of Miners Dark for sure
