Thanks pal. Your all heart.

Not sure yet if I can make next weekend. Brother and Sister in law + my 2 nieces coming to visit. They are here for a wedding but not sure which day.
Looking forward to seeing my nieces.

I can't be there for the 15th sadly, I'd like to come and be the only Noob and show off the Apocalypse but we have to re-antifoul the boat that day.

Boy there was Nobody there with L plates, and I think I was the slowest. Even the folks on the 250's were faster than me.
Colapop reminded me how to brake properly, I had developed a bad habit of using only the rear.
I had a good time!

Maybe they are naughty and just not showing an L plate.

. But glad you did follow me, I did wonder at times if you guys were thinking "Hope she knows where she's going and this isn't a unknown bit of land to go to Picton!" Nice that some people trust me!! Glad you had fun!!

I was thinking almost half the time, didnt it say 26km to featherson somewhere looking at my trip going ohh crap petrol :P.

Oh well

, it was fun

.
Is there a petrol station in lake ferry?
I need a bigger tank, i swear its under its claimed 10.5L

No gas at Lake Ferry but there is gas at Pirinoa but I don't think it was open when we went through on Sunday.

**Colapop** · 11th April 2007, 06:11

Just strap a 1.5L coke bottle of petrol on the bike...

**elle-f** · 11th April 2007, 06:52

Dunno about 50 I think it is a 70 zone.

Cola pointed out the school as we were coming back.

Not a bad idea actually

maybe next time?

**Darkman** · 11th April 2007, 22:47

will join you guys again on sunday if weather holds..this time with no pillion, so might be able to keep up.

**Pommie Boy** · 12th April 2007, 11:05

Hey guys and gals - at the risk of being called a "fair weather biker", are we still on for Sunday if the weather is bad, i.e. pouring with rain like it was last night, or do we have to bin it? I only ask because the chances of getting two good weekends of weather in Wellington in a row is, like, less than zero
