Laxed out rides

**BigAl** · 25th October 2012, 17:48

For anyone who wants a run on Sat, the ham motorcycle club has a ride over to tauranga leaving Seddon rd club rooms at 11am.

Apparently there is a beach hop type event over there to have a look at.

As usual interesting roads will be taken.

Will still try and catch up one way or another on Sunday if I am running late and weather ain't too shite.

Could be keen also on a Saturday run as well

Never get enough of that side of the Waikato.

Late showers usually means late I think .. like >6pm

I could be a goer on Saturday as long as i am back by 2ish. But since I got the slow goat now, it all depends at what warp speeds you boys and girls are planning to run at?

Heya 5150, might pay to come down for a reccie as usually all types of bikes from classic trumpies, lge single trailies....
The odd side car rig might even turn up.
