Long days but fascinating...enjoying the culinary 'adventure' shall we say.

Just NIKE it is the motto...halfway mark coming up soon...countdown...

Good luck with navigating to Sharry mate.

Followed by a lovely pootle out to Maraetai and back to Manukau.
Topped off with a hot chocolate at the pub

Did Rob find Sharry??? Or is Rob lost also , in the bottomless depths of our hospital system???

Sorry for my no show...

Lost track of time while doing some tidying of the bike since it's sitting waiting on parts... May be a few more weeks off the road...

I've got one you can buy cheaply in the mean time

If you're still out around Glen Eden way Rob, we'd probably bump into each other while heading down. Not too bad a ride down though once the weather gets nicer. Wish it was less motorway work though

Yeah bro, your just round the corner. We can head out for a weekend ride sometime.

Coro or northern loop maybe.

Now that sounds like a really good plan. Will have to do that. Currently shopping for a bike to get me through the next 18 months (ho hum stupid restricted changes). I don't think the XJ could handle any extended rides :P Once I find whatever (No clue what I'm buying yet, anything I'd like is JUST over the power/weight ratio for LAMS compliancy) I'd be up for it. Dying to do the Coro loop.

I'll definitely be doing the Cape Reinga ride if that gets going again this year. I love the Northland, its my favorite part of NZ hands down.

You're in Reefton?....

**Maakz** · 22nd September 2012, 21:51

MAHA ya cheeky bugga

do they have banjos in reefton?

Just kidding, um in the land of Suzukis-Hondas-the odd Trumpy and the rare HD...OOOooo the benality...actually the scooters are quite cool here but the roads and streets are terrible.

SO narrow and maze-like one can feel claustrophobic. The motorised 2 wheelers are abit kamikaze in their riding style too...freaky AND Last week i saw some cops on bikes...thought OH cool (they look so official and spiffy)...then laughed...they don't filter here (so were stuck for ages in the que even though there were filtering gaps a mile wide (the Japanese do strike me as being big on RULES..meh...)-my tour bus beat them down the road?) and drive in the left wheel track even though they're right drive vehicles??? Guess there must be logic to this, something um missing.

How are you and Moms? Enjoying 'NIFTY' ness ??? I see the Te Whakawi rides gathering steam and followers...i like the double entendre of the rides name BTW...KRAK UP.

Spokey-back to being a Westie aye...mate...i'm in for the odd ride with Tig and others when ur able.

Blu-hows things with BB?
