North Island invasion of South Island

[marks]

My son who lives in Wanaka was on the ferry (heading South in a 4x4) yesterday morning with his 9yr old son.

They were talking to a group of "KiwiBiker's" crossing for a South Island adventure run.

Could this have been the group he was talking to?

He is a big guy (rides motoX) do any of you remember talking to him?

The crossing was a bit on the rough end of the scale! (lots of people sick)

Well, good luck, hope your ride goes well. Cheers, John.

He was talking to Dave(Pallidin) and Joe (Junkmanjoe) who went down a day earlier than the rest of us who are catching the 6.25 (we hope) tonight

I just rang the ferry co and listened to the schedule for the day. Ferries so far today have left pretty much on time, however the 2:25 isn't going to leave till about 3:40, and they made no mention of any later than that.

Thank you, my son knows I am a Kiwi Biker but I don't think he knows my user name.

Anyway he seemed to enjoy their company on the ferry crossing! Cheers, John.

The bikes all ready - took it for a shakedown & everything seems to vibrate the way it should. Just have to pack & we're away tomm. Best thing is the Metservice says FINE FINE FINE

It's gonna be good - Might be a bit of layer losing over the course of the day judging by the chilly start this morning & the perfect avo.

Well I saw them down at the ferry terminal.They are off,although Marks might have a rear wheel puncture.The weather was quite good too if a little cold so they should have a fairly good sailing ,helped by the fact they were on the big boat(Kaitaki)

Nelson is like that village in Scotland that only appears for one day every 100 years, so Joe missed it this time.

[Woodman]

Am all ready to go, probly got too much shit, but I will know for sure when i get back.

fitted a smaller front sprocket last night, fixed the fairing ,(duck tape and araldite), strapped me bag on etc and am now sitting in front of the fire watching my riding gear warm up so it is nice and toasty in the morning.

See yous all tomorrow.
