EASTER 250cc TWO Day Tour Up North

[Badger8]

I just woke up, its 4:32 and I cant fall asleep again. I'm ready to go. Will just kill time having breakfast and reading forums
man its cold in the morning

Badger, maybe you should make your way trough ShowGirls, prior to the tour. Sure they will give a discount for a bad-ass biker like yourself. You may even be so lucky to get 2 for the price of 1

Dude, you're full of good ideas at this hour of the morning!

Time to rock and roll, GET SOME!!!!

Hey Falks

We are having a blast up here in kaitaia.

The road to here was mint, nice long sweepers, almost no melted tar seal on the road. NO COPS. NO BINS.

Traffic to dargaville was a bit slow but we managed. Had Subway in dargaville and the road after that was just the best.

SH1 coming up to Kaitaia was just amazing. I got passed by Sinister^ on his fxr on a number of times on the twisties - man he can ride this thing.

We've seen wheelies m stoppies, and amazingly fast speeds ( not gonna go in details).

Motel in Kaitaia is top notch - thanks EJ - and we saw your name and I've also signed in

We stayed till now just telling bin stories , cop storries, war stories , discussing the ride , man these boys are awesome. Fun on the road and hularious off the road

Anyhow. we going to the cape tomorrow and gonna make some awesome pics to show off to all of you who didnt decide to join in.

O we also some of us ran over a big wood , a sparrow , and I hit an eagle which was just staring flight. Lucky there was no falls and at least the eagle was sweet as. Somehow feel sad about hitting it dou - it is just such an awesome beautiful bird.

That me for the night falks, be jelous :P

[sinister^]

Yeah it was great, thanks to Todd and AJ for running this event it was well organized.

[Badger8]

That's prettymuch the trip in smilie format!

Not long got home, and gotta shoot out again soon. Lots of pics and stories to follow, probably sometime tonight (if i have the energy to stay awake)

BIG UPS to Toto (and EJ earlier in the piece) for organising this ride, it was
AWESOME

That is by far the most fun (and the most pain ) i've had on my bike yet!

Dude, you're scary enough on that little fixxer. Never knew they could go that hard! Just watch out for the ruts next time

[Badger8]

But just quickly (i.e. before i forget)...
Some of my favourite quotes/moments from the trip, think we might have a few new sigs outta them

Chocolate Wheels (to Badger): " Dude, i could swear i saw you with your knee down when i looked in my mirror!"

Drider (to Macstar): "You and your gay Honda, it wont survive the trip!" (Whilst Drider was in the middle re-bolting his subframe onto the bike)

Scraping pegs and boots through the uphill the twisties heading into Mangamuka (sp) forest.

Jacko2: "Damn you guys were throwing those little ginny's around!"

Badger (at Tane Mahuta): "Right, time to go take the worlds biggest piss on the worlds biggest Kauri tree..."

The GN drags, at prettymuch every opportunity. Including the full tuck and superman cape hi-vis vest

Chocolate Wheels: "I think i just set a new land-speed record for the GN! "

Pocket Cracker: (Fine young ladies walk past) "ooh! Yes please!" (Dirty looks) "What? i said please! "

The rather amusing sleep antics of fellow bikers, ranging from talking and moaning, to full blown violence against the wall.

Pulling a wheelstand on the GN whilst pulling out from the cafe after breakfast.

The GN's absolutely carving up on the gravel. Sproty's crawling along at 20-30k, getting passed by ginny's doing 80-90k

THE CAPE!!!! (many cool photos to come)

The little kids at soooo many stops drooling over the bikes, and a few getting photos on them.

Badger: "I think i broke my ass!"

Drider and Toto getting their photo's taken with their knee down on a little plastic kids trike in Whangarei.

The crazy old man running the backpackers in Whangarei.

Cruising into home and getting all my stinky gear off, and having a nice long shower

[TOTO]

+1

Amen.

I got heaps to tell too and photos to share.

All coming later tonight when I have had a feed and shower and said "hello" to the gf

[ital916]

I think I worked out that knee down one! - The sun was behind us so your leg and saddlebags kinda merged together :P

I'd like to see someone beat it

Everyone stopped laughing about the GN's when we got onto that gravel

I just want to say thanks for Toto for organising all this! Man you rock.
Also, I still have your bungy cords, I might ride down to the meeting point tomorrow and give them back.

Glad you all made it back alright. The East Cape was aawesome as too. Got told off by the Maori for swimming in 'their' river though and eating 'their' fish too but got let off so all good.
