Great turnout today 14 or so bikes, 4 or 5 with pillions.
I enjoyed a very social gathering for lunch, my thanks to all who made it so.

ditto what gloplug said -- ride wasn't bad either!
interesting things happen above 10,000 rpm.....not if you have a ZRX tho
Ditto what leopardskin said.
I thought lunch was particually good. Going to add Cafe 51 onto the list to return with the boss.
Great ride, nice to meet some new folks... would have added pics but they are very similar to Gloplugs
Good turn out, long may this mild winter weather last... on Saturdays at least!
See you next time work allows me to make it along
Cheers,
Brent.
Enjoyed the ride, went cheep at the bakery/take-away shop across the road from Cafe51.
Fella on the XR650, Janet and myself took our bikes down the banks of the Waimak for the trip home. That was great too.

It was good to meet a few more KBers. Thanks for the ride and company at lunch. Ride back home through the Rakaia Gorge was great. I can now tick 'the three gorges ride' off my list. Will be up again when time and circumstances allow.
Great to see so many people enjoyed themselves today!!!!!!
Ok now where are we going next week??? Greta Valley? Godley House? Twisted Hop after Wets or KPs route?
Many moons ago I went into Lees Valley on my old Norton. The road is unsealed and in parts a little challenging. I was thinking it might be feasable later in spring, before WNRs start again. If anyone is interested??????
Have a good week folks. Hope to see you next Saturday or Wednesday!!!!

i'm jealous, was very tempted to come - lovely day for it!!!! did get bike out and had it running in driveway with 2 & 3/4 year old sitting on it making awesome racing noises!!!!!
maybe next week if i can get babysitter......![]()
Cherish. Love. Laugh. Hope. Dream. Believe.
Can't see me getting the Harley far up a gravel road, belt drive, bling and all. Can I suggest leaving the Greta for good weather, Wet's route for average weather and Diamond Harbour for very average weather. Of course if its shitty weather I might just take the truck in to town and see you at the Hop.
Love that ride, am happy to go in with you one weekend if I'm not busy elsewhere.
Rides arranged for there in the Adventure Forum usually turn out half a dozen people or more.
Unsealed and a little challenging is a good description, several easy fords and one potentially bigger one included.
