Liked the idea of the phone,my brother does the same,he put mums birthday in,but he sent the present on the 6th her birthday was 16th,the phone sent his alert and he forgot it was 10 days early,mum was impressed as she knows I usually tell him a couple of days before.

On the way home after a quick coffee at Meanie's Bassa and I went back through Top grass road, on the way we dodged 4 freakin' hawks!! Was beginning to think them buggers had it in for motorcyclists...

Thought perhaps that might be you or maybe Sinfull.

We have finally decided that Greens Road needs a proper warm up

Friday 25th April, perhaps we/somebody can suggest a ride and end up here around 4pm for bbq and continue on as far through the weekend as we can all manage

Early start so that those with other committments/kids can still drop in and if the weather is good the energetic amongst us can go for a tramp in the woods and to meet Rhapsody and Harmony,the houdini cattle, before 86 kills them with his bare hands (or the chainsaw!!)
Thought we would also then be up for a sunday

or have time to really recover before the working week encroaches

Plenty of sleeping space inside and out so bring sleeping bags and tents for when you finally crash

Address is 72 Greens Road, Kahutewara Valley. Behind Massey, go down old west road and turn onto Kahutewara Valley road, 4k along is Greens road on L, no exit gravel road so please be careful!!!!
We are the second obvious drivewayon the right (immediately next to 68), yellow postbox, go to top of drive and you shall be at the garage and be able to admire SK1PY, GIXXERS and Daytona's sleeping abode

Like the idea of naming the stock,makes it easier to eat when in the freezer,i.e after all Als' time rounding em up etc,he can think shit phapsody tastes damn fine bbqed,bet they end up as swapper beasts,with someone elses.

Check out the ambulance run from Wanganui for anzac day for an idea,sounds good.

Yeah poor wee GB. Funny thing was I was the only one who appeared to know where we were going

. Didn't require a GPS even.

Looks like I may have got my mitts on some handle bar heaters too. Getting tad soft in my appearent midlife crisis years.

Jeez don't tell em that,but in hindsight the cost in bourbon may well be more than the ride itself in fuel,and getting a real babysitter,you know blonde,big hooters and from Sweden.
