Okoroire is on the road between SH27 & SH28 south of the Hinuera Straights/Te Poi. Nice pup. Quasi - take the Quarry turnoff at the Karapiro Mobil, when you hit the straights, go straight across there until you hit SH27, which is a right/left dog leg intersection. When you get to the end of that road, turn left then when you hit the Okoroire T intersection, turn right & the pub's right in front of you. It's a good set up & a popular motorcycle gathering place on the weekend.

I reckon that & Matamata are too far north, especially if some of the South Islanders are keen to join us. All you pussy Auckland people should be able to go further than that! :sly:

Somewhere end of April good for me. Mrs M in States for a month then....need to fill time somehow

The deal is for All Kiwibikers , so to be fair to everyone it MUSt be central north islan, ie Napier, Taupo, New Plymouth, this way no one has to have all two days in the saddle but everyone can get in a decent ride.

For those good mates of mine that only have race bikes, it seems Taupo is booked up for some time, so this idea wont owrk, so get those road bikes up to speed.

Remember we will ideally need to accomodate up to 100 people, last year we had 60 odd, this year will be bigger.

The BIGEEST problem and only Obstacle is accomdation, we need somewhere capable of holding this many people for one night.

The other option of course is to name the city and everyone soughts there own accom and we hold a gathering that night or something ?

That's just not as fun...

How else can there be duct tape expressionism?

It just has to be one place, with a hotpool and quiet stunt road...

**bugjuice** · 8th February 2005, 11:33

I'm all up for what ever is decided.. just point me in the right direction and give me someone to follow.. Just someone let me know the time and place to meet..

**Skunk** · 8th February 2005, 12:26

I'm into whatever is decided... Just money and date clash (like last year) will keep me away.

**loosebruce** · 8th February 2005, 14:55

Whenever/Wherever, i'm not fussed, i'll just try my best not to a: crash before it, b: lose licence before it, this time.

Just as long as there is some good "back" roads, i'll bring the digi camera the video camera and the on board pencil camera too

**Paul in NZ** · 8th February 2005, 15:03

Big camping ground that has a wide variety of accomodation types and a quiet BBQ spot where we can all go get fonged.

Duct tape adventures are best kept indoors. Inexpertly applied it can fuck someones paintwork which aint funny in the slightest. Expertly applied, it can keep a troublesome guest subdued for hours...

Not that i'd know of course...

so.. What we want is a big camping ground with a pub wot does meals close by. We select an unpopular weekend or something really frickin stupid like a monday night and all take a days leave...

Well Napier is a good bet for accomodation cos there is always Hastings just down the road, and pretty much guaranteed to get a bed for the night somewhere.

Okay people we are kind of on the right track , but lets now focus on the 3 big ones

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

this is what I really need, someone who knows a good location, somewhere like the last spot.

SO think think think so we can drink drink drink, hey Im a Poet and I didnt know it

Mrs H and I would be up for Napier or New Plymouth. The "Napier equivalent" of Whangamomona is possibly the Patangata pub... A great ride to get there, irrespective of which way one goes.

That's the one next to the bridge (that leads to Middle Road

) right? Great place...
