Taranaki ride, Sat 22 Sept 07

[slydesigns]

Me and Lis (came on a ride last year on a KR1 2 Stroke and Green GPX) would be keen, but we have to pick up her new ZXR400 H2 (charging the battery after she left the park lights on all day) from AFC first at 9am. I'm guessing you'll all be blazing off into the sun and rain by then.
027 45 00 199 if you either haven't or if we can catch up on the way.

Oh and we are both on 400's now, the ZXR and a CBR 400 RR and DAMN they just sound soooo much better.

[cowboyz]

if we are still here at 9am someone is going to get an arse kicking. Not sure if you will catch us with an hour delay to be honest but stranger things have happened.

[yod]

right im about to kick the RF in the guts and head off to ashhurst....see ya soon

[slydesigns]

throw up a cell number someone and we will try to head you guys off somewhere or meet you in taranaki for the return trip

Got a txt from Boob to say - "New plans meeting at Boobs in NP at 8:10am."
Sorry but can't leave that early so - disappointed, was looking forward to that ride!

Nah left Hawera at about 10.45 this morning,good group at the garage,nice day turned out to be as well,had couple of beers this arvo,now off to tea,could be long night....

[pritch]

Was at Waitara at the appointed time, but when nobody arrived I wasn't concerned because the published timetable required an average speed of 160kph from Hawera to Waitara which seemed just a little optimistic.

Almost bang on noon the crew arrived. Some refuelling and away we went to PioPio for lunch. Mostly nice enough weather. Got to put some faces with KB names.

Thanks for the ride and for the company, hope you all made it home dry :-)

Yeah soz bout that Kev, the weather was looking shithaus for the afternoon & one of our guys wasn't keen to trek the Whanga road in the wet so the 5 of us gapped it to Te Kuiti for lunch. We passed all you guys & of course I waved out to all I could (was bloody heaps of ya lol). Met Patrick for the first time, top bloke. Poor ol Mike just bought another bike this week & took it for its first real spin but his gearbox jammed in 5th (6 speed) so we gave him a push start @ the Awakino pub & let him go for a bit then slowly caught him up & he led the pack back to Waitara then I 2up'd him to NP to pick up his ute. Oh well that's what you get when you buy an old school Ducati



So how was your guys ride? Did the weather hold out? We hit a few patches of rain but mostly pretty light and only lasted a minute or two then dry again, very lucky


Catch you all next time hopefully
