Highway 22 should be ok by now, im the contract engineer incharge of road marking on WDC reseals, they were sealed/painted about 6 weeks ago, if there is still loose chip ill make a scene at work

Well I went through weekend before last, and it was terrible. My friend summed it up nicely "I hated it!"

So what is the consensus on sunday?

**Murray** · 6th May 2010, 20:28

No consensus - Those wanting to ride meet at the Hotel to leave at 10.00. Going to Huntly, Hetherington Road and when it hits SH22 either left to Raglan or right to Port Waikato.

Personally I like the Raglan option as it is more of a loop than a there and back trip. But then again not sure if me and Trina will be riding as work rules and I have to pick someone up from the airport. bugger, bugger

Well if this is the case. They're basing the event around the WRC and the father-in-law is part of the "saloon car's". The competitors were told (who told me) that they're not having a 2-day event because the rally boys wanted to use the track on Sunday. As always, not the best communication amongst the motorsport boys.

The moral of story is I get free tickets to the WRC SS, viewing from one of the apartments

With access to where ever I wanna go.

Bugger. hahaha I suppose this works a little better

Oh, good on them for being inclusive. I support the paralympics and I think it's fantastic those guys are getting the opportunity to race around Hampton Downs too. A tag line for this event could be 'Downs at the Downs'.

I agree with the route, but whatever is okay with me.

Good ride today... SH22 was pretty good, just a couple of gritty corners

Only the hardy riders made it out today - just me and Spazm!

Well Donna now has her full class 6 license & is now looking at upgrading her wheels , gonna start by taking some 600's out and see what she likes.

Anyway the old faithful CBF 250 is on trade me, so if any of you know someone looking for a good lil learners bike, here's the link :

REGO TIP

fill in a MR 27 at your local VTNZ to change the date your rego ends (just B4 july 1) then when your rego due you can buy 15 months at the old price. Then this winter put reo on hold & you could easily get 18 months @ the old price. Done it to our 2. Worth a crack I reckon.

Congrats to Donna. Now she just has to work on Brooke to get hers sorted

Good tip about the rego. Dunno if I can be assed though. Hey, I was too lazy to go on the dole. haha

Your bike won't be here before July anyway !!!!

haha there'll be a shitstorm if it ain't. But the bet is it'll be here on Wednesday. Well 2 people have predicted it for then anyway. 3 others (including mine) have already been and gone. So lets see if the majority get it right.

It'll be interesting to see how much rego I get with it. If it's 6 or 12 months. I hope it's 12 but I don't really have a say in it.

I feel like a friggin' ride anyway.
