W. A. R. T.

[FJRider]

I suppose the W.a.r.t. ride on Saturday to the Manawatu bbq falls into the category of beyond

No ..... thats the back of beyond .... An entirely different place...

Um....isn't that the back of nowhere? Erehwon?
Oops sorry, strayed off topic there for a mo! Going to Goat Is with the Ulees this Sun and might make it to the Sawmill Cafe. Is it any good still?

[Mom]

I have only been there once, in full gear we stopped for a coffee. They wanted a $10 cover to get in because they had a band playing a bit later on. Told them we were only having a coffee not staying for the night, pretty obvious really the way we were dressed, but no, they insisted on us paying before we went in.

I didn't think the coffee would be worth $14 odd a cup and made a bit of noise They let us in for a coffee, which was actually not bad.

Maungatawopwop is the place you are looking for Al....

So how as Goat Island? More Tourists than Goats eh?

[Maha]

The Sun came out and so did hundreds of bikers, well I didnt count them to be honest, just seemed more than 20. I think there were well over 400 on the WIMA ride (we did not attend) but I spoke to someone at Puhoi later about it. That explained all the pink persons about. You meet the nicest people on days like today, some are not as Crazy as you may think and some are not a Small as you may think and some are just sooooooooo generous (click)....

[Maha]

Reasonable sort of day up this way, will end up at the Mangawhai Tavern about middayish. Cant beat sitting out the back garden eating a plate of the food they dish up on a day like today.

POSTPONED BY REQUEST TILL TOMORROW.

[Mom]

Can I come too? Oh, wait, strike that, you are taking me

[nallac]

[Maha]

Well, seen as im still at home on my second coffee and its already 9:03am...bugger.
Might see you at Mangawhai....

[Mom]

What a lovely day for a ride A few squally showers were a little off putting, but as some of us dont melt in the rain (not pointing the finger here at any girly pants in our midst ) we took off for Mangawhai. Lovely cruise, have to say I missed my bike very much, but her tank will be cured soon.

Feasted my eyes on a very tasty Buell but she sure needs a good clean man, what a cutie

Absolutely hooned it back to Warkworth, as you do for a lovely drink and relax. That short sharp rain belt was appreciated by me anyway, hung my helmet out and gave it a jolly good wash

Try a chicken, bacon, cheese burger when you are next there, it was really yummy. Maha's photo skills should be along soon, but I have to say I was dissappointed the one horse power invasion will not be included for your viewing pleasure

Hmmmm I am guessing you are referring to this "girly pants" huh?

A great wee pootle beyond Warkworth thanks mom and Maha but you really didnt have to organise 30 odd horses to arrive at Mangawhai. Looking forward to the next one.

Yours faithfully

Why thank you Mom,and the Buell ain't bad either.
she sure does need a good scrub tho.

pity we only had a short ride there,160miles...not long enough.

Miles? MILES? What is this foreign language you speak old timer...that's going to get you in trouble one of these days Bloody lovely bike you have there mate, though I may be a tiny bit biased

[nallac]

Yeah who would think that something with 30hp would come with 120 legs not counting the riders?...
Riding naked in the wind is alot of fun.....
But theres always that place on the Magawhai rd where is gusts really bad.
I thought that was really small hail on the way back, either that or very big rain, thankfully it only lasted a few moments....
Liking the new front and rear additions to the tractor too....

Who said 'Gay-W.A.R.T'?.....
