Well Saturday arrived and it was time too head up the road too the Cold Kiwi,as we were having others join us we headed too the meeting point,the rest off the group(2) arrived a few minutes behind us and once fuelled we made our way up the Parapara's and decided on a more direct route rather than the back roads,

The roads were in great condition and as leader I set the pace too a gentle jog..with Geoff on the CB13 and Jude on her wee VTR250 we had a nice wee group and they both enjoyed the ride as nither of them had been on there bikes for a few months...
Taking 90 minutes too reach our final destination and settling into our campsite,making sure the tent was in the right position to get the early morning sun and putting the bike away in the garage with internal access
we had a good look around and found some great old bikes one of which was the 47 Indian from Wgtn That arrived with a group from CHCH and made camp next too us.....

We did the lunch thing and sortted the bar"most important" and just relaxed speaking of those that hadn't made the ralley and off a certain refined gentlemen with a certain hose attachment at a previous rally not that long ago

Then who should show Steve so was a good catch up and some good laughs..

having prepaid meals was a bonus and dinnertime was a susprise as this time I was the customer and one of my regulars was the cook...Glad too see policy off fill the plate up was there.man was I full after dinner and Mel couldn't believe I knew the cook....speaking off which we were able too have a catch up and chat after dinner.... as the night came in and the bombfire was lite we gathered around too watch the scarfice of the scooter too the gods of whatever you believe in

Mel decided it was getting cold oh she just doesn't doo cold!! but well done for being at the kiwi and making it a great weekend...will certainly do this one again and maybe it will be on the 500 and 400

Sunday morning and as planned the sun turned up rite on time and the mood around the place was good it was'nt as cold as one had expected,so the morning coffee was first on the list before heading over for breaky and must say my plate was filled up again certainly a job well done by onsite caters

after breaky it was time too packup and say our goodbyes too freinds of old and new...

Our ride home was solo as our counterparts went visiting,so as we came into Ohukune we weren't susprised too see a police cheakpoint breath testing people coming from the rally(IT WAS IN THE RALLY INFRO THAT THEY WOULD BE),although we didn't get tested as the cop already had a que of fails parked too the side,I wasn't worried as I had done a test at the cold kiwi and was negitive anyway...

After getting through kune and topping up gas it was time too head home and open up the throttle a bit more than the day before (dogs mode) through the para's nothing can bet it..................the end
