I was planning on heading to the one at the mount. But I'll be up most of the night working on my Poly Essay's etc. So no go for me.

off topic a bit: me and a couple of non-KB biker mates are heading to the Mount Mellick for some rainy afternoon pints if anyone is keen....

Well we have a moving date, 9th May only two weekends away. Will only need a hand for a couple of hours in the morning with the big stuff.

Drivers tonight should be both the GP, and Superbikes, we saw most of it, worth a watch. Who won? Not telling

Drivers Bar/KB annual bike ride and smorgasboard. Donna and Chris have very kindly offered to do this again for us. I suggest Sunday 24th May and for something a little different perhaps we ride out to Papamoa and go blokarting, $30 for 1/2 hour or $50 for an hour. Im sure I would spend that on a ride anyway.

Let me know what you all think this week and I will book the date with Donna & Blokarts. Should be a hoot (and no doubt some brisk competitiveness will come out on the Karts).

Finally, great to have Chris (and my bike) back home in one piece. Now we can plan a proper trip which will really need two weeks down there to do what we would like to, but we think we will wait till springtime before going.

Hey all,I'm on the lookout for a 250 for Brenda to learn on.
If anyone knows of anything let me know.
Looking to throw about 2k at something,so it doesn't have to be flash.

Oh and welcome back to the future Chris

Grant and I have been discussing a little ride over to raglan and back (with all the correct stops) if anyone else is interested... Saturday maybe? (weather is looking good BOP/Waikato).

Grant you keen for Saturday?

Route idea attached - any input is very welcome. Link to Google Maps.

Yeah, sounds like a plan, jimbo & myself will be definite starters and have marked the calender. Oh 1/2 hr won't be enough so make it a hour
