I would love to say yes, but have been in bed with the flu for the last two days - so shouldn't go...... but wanna go! Todd is four wheel driving today, and Dave is off to Wellington with his son ...

Maybe if the sun comes out - I might be naughty and do it - but I know I shouldn't (boo hoo)

Well 6 of us started out but unfortunately I had bike problems and didnt make it any further than Links Road . Bike stopped twice just getting to there! So, upshot is I have also been waiting for the ride report but maybe they all dissapeared into a black hole!

Well i'm home, it's wet, cold, got a bit of the flu, work tommorrow........cool.

Bumper to bumper traffic from Gold Coast to Brissy airport at 5am, 4 lanes, trucks doing 120!!!!
Set off the alarm thru the metal detector had to be manually frisked, turns out it was my flash new hip, so, they do pick them up. Well in Oz, as the NZ one did'nt.
Missus got frisked and checked for explosives, and ran a sample of her clothing thru a machine to see if she had any evidence of explosives on it!!!

Pick the bikes up from Taranaki next Sat, so no ride for me.
Maybe Sunday.

So where do you all meet, at the same location all the time or does it change weekly?

Not a bang, but sure had a blast at the shooting gallery you mentioned.
Put thru a few hundred rounds of magnum bullets from a Clint Eastwood type revolver.
The dude running the show was impressed with my shooting, got a couple of bullseyes thru bullesyes.
Asked the missus, 'did she feel lucky', and 'go ahead, make my day.'

As the make up of the group that we ride with has changed, so has the meeting point. The Mobil Service Station in Taradale Road is now the base for most of our rides and it has a good area out the back to pack a few bikes in, something that the BP Station was a bit short on.

Occasionally, and generally for the Classic Club Ride, the BP station in Clive is the meeting point but always check the posts to confirm
