Wellington Rideouts - Where next?

[Aslan]

I may be misunderstanding Mark's (aka Waihou Thumper) comment above

Not sure whether he's suggesting as a Beemer enthusiast and card carrying member of the BMWOR - taking the GS up Takapari Road is the logical loyal choice - or maybe, and okay I may be being overly sensitive here he's suggesting riding up Takapari Road versus taking part in an overnighter to the Bay with other register members is a no brainer (pipe and slippers image some us project )

Either way - I enjoy the diversity of folks riding different marque of machine that this site and ADVRider encourage

As current Area Coordinator for the Wellington Branch of the BMWOR - I'm keen to encourage a more diverse range of folk (especially sub 60 yr olds) being attracted to take part - myself, I'm already one of the old farts

Cheers all - and especially to Mark aka Waihou Thumper

Don't worry Steve, Mark's just jealous. The BMWOR wouldn't let him join because they new he would only keep his BMW for 5 minutes then it would be for sale.
Do you still own it Mark !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good ride sorry I can't join you need to get a bike out of the shed and get it Rego.

Are you going to the RAG (top secret BMWOR thing) for everyone.

We will be there

Hi Gerard - yip planning on going to the RAG (intending to tent) coming South from Pureora Forest Park where I plan to spend Friday night with several other BMW riders - I may be on my DR because Back Road Riders are planning on doing Fishers and the 42nd on Sunday 6 April

Mark - aka Waihou Thumper - you'd be welcome to these events - BMW not mandatory

Cloud is lifting. I can see the hills, so should be a good view up Takapari today.

I was merely stating, that with a BMW, nice bike and all that, taking it the distance, you would be more comfortable and suited to this rather than the DR.
Nothing to do with the stereotypical comments that some may make regarding BMW riders/owners...
It looks as though you took the DR, so whichever way it turns/turned out I am sure you had a great time.... Enjoy!

Well I made it home almost intact. Got some awesome photos which I'll post up some time. Cheers for the ride guys.
