Hmmmm, reckon I might go to Whangarei and just look for the 2 people that have jobs, aren't stoned, aren't in the cells, aren't beating a small child, and aren't related to me. Shouldn't be too tricky.

Good effort bro, coz that's a fucking long walk! I'll give you a ring when I get there and ask directions. Should I call your mobile, or will you just be hanging out at home that weekend?

Wherever you decide it is probably. Pick somewhere north of the bridge that you know and I'll meet you there. Flexible on time, but earlier the better for me. Let's get some Lordi on eh? Oh yeeeaaaahhhhh....

Nope, was just typing another post to him but your one popped up and I clicked in a frantic way and then it was gone. Bugger.

How could I forget he was coming since it was GERRY that offered TSS a lift, despite the horrible rumours you have started on here. I'd do it of course, but I got stopped by the police today and they let me off a ticket if I'd accept a condition on my licence that I don't take pillions. So I said ok. Otherwise I so like totally would.

I could put my proper seat back on my bike again and escort him from SH12 (basically just before start of Brenderwyns) can't vouch for how comfortable it is.

before the usual or expected time
▪ She arrived early to help with the preparations. ▪ I got up early to finish packing. ▪ I got up bright and early. [=very early] — opposite late

Guess it really depends on everyone else. I'm not bothered at all, so we need to know when Gerry and TSS can make it, and what time Grant and Camel want to meet, and work backwards from there. No earlier than 6am at Dairy Flat, no later than 5pm. Somewhere in there. Or not. Whatever. You know how it is. Jederzeit ist in Ordnung mit mir

How longer ride do you want Sabine? I can do all sorts of rides either, straight to Whangarei 150k or we can go tiki touring and end up doing, 3-500k in a day.

What are you up for?
