Thanks Dawn for organizing ride and looking after us. What a good ride, nice day, awesome company. On the way back from Dargaville me and Morcs try to catch up to guy with white tire but he was gone, I hope you got bike home OK mite. Me and Morcs split up at Welsford where he introduce me to Ginger . Morcs gone 16 and I gone to follow Ginger to Puhoi pub, he is turn in to Puhoi village and pull over 500 m before pub, so I gone pass him, on way out, there he was pull over 6 bikes on they cruisers .WTF is his problem he hate bikers !!!
Hope to do something like this

sorry to all for the hold up due to my drive belt snapping, and a huge thanks to those who helped especially Shane for getting me Hm.

when you ride straight off the road on a corner ( no damage ) and do some off roading, then snap your drive belt 50 odd km down the road you have to wonder if you should have stayed hm, some days..........

Glad you enjoyed it guys, always one of my favourite runs from Dargaville to Opo...
Sadly you will not see me on a group ride again........two licence loses as a result of group riding will see this biker riding alone from now on.

What a great ride today guys, just what I needed to blow the cobwebs out.

I hope all got home well.

And I guess if there a lessons to be learnt from today it is that if your tractor has a hole in the drive belt you should only wait 5 months not 6 before getting it replaced

Not to mention regular tyre changes before tackling those bumpy rough roads... Glad you all got home safe, it was a fantastic ride and I totally agree with Carl... just what the doctor ordered to put a smile on the dial.

Oh... and correct fitment of number plates would be good prep as well

Thanks Dawn and Steve.. well worth the spin.

Now... off to the postoffice I go
