I think if its in writing you can easily say this is what I asked for and this is what you said it would cost, anything over and above that tough luck!!

yahoo pub night

Agreed, Grant at HH is quite reasonable to deal with and has already mentioned that the quote shouldn't change much, I am sorely missing the bike now and by the time I get it back at the end of this month, I will only have a month to go before I can get my full !

Have fun at the pub

Anyone heading to Taupo this weekend? I'll be doing the open day on the Sat then sticking around for the racing on Sunday.

Pictures .... More words may follow !

A few of us decided that yes a wee tootle this weekend would be good - prob about 150kms or so, so should be back early Sunday arvo. Weather looks OK

Cloudy periods with a few showers. Northwest breezes

Leave Kingsgate Hotel carpark at 10.30 am and stop for a coffee and bite to eat somewhere. Unless any better ideas will probably look at west side of Karapiri over dam, through Hobbiton way, back to matamata for coffee stop, backroads back to hamilton. Nothing to hard and not to long so should be a good ride. Its in the calendar - leaving hotel 10.30 sharp - Hotel very busy with people coming to watch Nitrous circus on the Saturday night so you take your own luck if you want to get in the restaurant for a $10 full buffet breakfast from 9.30 -10.00 am

Dont forget MAG charity ride 20th (if not going to Paeroa) its in the calendar and the Ulysses Teddy Bear run 27th.

Any one want to or know anyone who wants to do 2-3 nights a week working in a hotel housebar??. Hours 4.30 to 10.00 ish. Starting on minimum wage.

**sil3nt** · 10th February 2011, 16:06

Will be there on Sunday if Nitro Circus is on Saturday. Although weather is looking crap for both Sat and Sun night so not sure if either show will be on.

**Murray** · 10th February 2011, 16:16

Its not that bad

Saturday 12 Cloud increasing in the morning and isolated showers developing. Northeasterlies.
Sunday 13 Cloudy periods with a few showers. Northwest breezes

**Murray** · 11th February 2011, 07:25

Weather permitting, I'm hoping to join you for the ride tomorrow. New to KB and motorcycling so it will be good to get out and meet other riders and hopefully gain some much needed experience.

**sil3nt** · 12th February 2011, 21:13

Marie and I should be down there if we wake up in time

ant_the_mus would be good to see a new face!

**Murray** · 14th February 2011, 07:18

Good cruisey ride through the backroads of the Waikato. Weather was good, company was great, some new riders, welcome Anthony, Phil and Daniel and Marie. Nice pace, not to long (back by 1.30-2.00ish) and all good fun. 10 bikes in all!

Watch out for Charity ride next week (its in the calendar) or if your going to Paeroa races have a good one

cheers
