Are there any one interested in meeting up and heading down in a group. Come on folks this will be fun.

**The Pastor** · 21st April 2007, 11:41

I'd be fully keen for this, how much is it to enter?

oh and what kinda poker?

**Lula** · 23rd April 2007, 11:17

The Poker Run costs $20 to enter.

I been talking to some of my fellow riders and locally there has been some good interest so far so would be a good opportunity to meet other riders from the Franklin district.

Would be good to see and meet some of the Kiwi Biker site members too.

The kind of poker the ride is based on is where the highest hand is a Royal Flush. At each stop you are given a card (5 in total) and the highest hand wins (last card given at the Kentish Hotel in Waiuku). If two hands are equal then the prize will be split.

There are spot prizes that have been sponsored by the Kentish Hotel, Haldane Motorcycles and Cycle Treads.

The prizegiving is at the Waiuku Kentish Hotel and there is a lock-up area for bikes and accommodation at the pub, but would suggest that you check availability and the phone number is 09 235 8367.

I think there is also a live band in the garden bar that night after prizegiving and the organisers are hoping to have prizegiving around 4ish.

Should be a really fun day hope some of you can make it.

so its not texas hold em?

**Lula** · 24th April 2007, 14:46

Mmmm, don't think so. Basically you get given a card at each stop (first one being issued at the Jolly Farmer).
At each point you are given a card and it is registered so that there is no card swapping.

Highest hand wins which would be ace, king, queen, jack, ten, all in the same suit.

So will we see you there?

**Vagabond** · 24th April 2007, 22:21

Self and a couple mates will be there!

Hey Vagabond good to see you are coming.

Oops! Haven't updated my profile pic lately, don't have the Zed anymore.
The heat in the pipes caused them to tinge towards the golden look (standard Exhausts)

Will be there on a CBR600rr, see ya Sunday.
