Birthday bash (26 April)

[sugilite:Me]

Where do I start? I got up in the morning, not a cloud in the sky! Chanceyy looked in surprisingly good shape considering her late night out on a hot date with my wife!!!!

Went to take off, select 1st, let clutch out and motor dies, try it a few more times with same result. I send chanceyy on her way as I look for more toys to throw out my cot! Anyways, I isolated fault to sticking side stand cut out switch and caught up to Chanceyy before Dannevirke.

Met up with Dooley at highway 50 turn off and on to the parrrrrty. Missed the welcome wagon sortie out to meet the northen KB bretherin, ahh well.
Nipped off to Hastings to get lotto tickets for "she who must be obeyed". Thanks for the escort Sandra!

By the time we got back, pretty much the whole crew was there for the party. It was really great to catch up with old acquaintances, Busa Pete and Wendy, Stickchick, Madduck, and put faces to handles (Mom Mahaman, Mikkel, the 007's and other handles I cannot remember, sorry guys! Naturally it was awesome to catch up with the youthful birthday kids MSTRS and Old...opps Yungtart The birthday speeches in particular had me pissing myself with many humour filled interjections from the cheap seats, strangely occupied by kbers!

Random comments: Mom, your much younger and more beautiful than I imagined, I never got enough of your story about discovering a near naked Mikkel in the bathroom, even after the 100th time you told it . 007, well I can see you must be close to featuring in your own avatar soon! Mikkel, how the hell you drank that much rum and still managed to stand I will never know, you defy the laws of physics man!

The highlight for me was the ride on some primo local roads, ably led my MSTRS. Blardy primo roads with great riders. Chanceyy sure had the boogie on, Madduck looked so smooth and confident on that Harley, awesome! And the best part of the ride for me, was Busapete and myself shredding up the road on the initial return leg, AWESOME fun!

I must thank MSTRS and Yountart for the awesome hospitality. The food was scrummy!!!!

Looks as if everybody had fun. (even the creative tattle tailer playing the ever popular 'grab the wrong end of the stick game')

Turns out the creative riding was not finished as on the way home a certain rz's headlights went awol, so it was close formation riding at 3 in the morning. My headlights are so naff I did not bother dipping them off high beam and no one bothered flashing me, hmmm, wheres Mikkel when you need him!!!

Thanks again peoples for a awesome social and riding bonanza! Sugilite out!

& I wonder wot RZ that is then
& if a tinted visor at nite was not bad enough
No lights as well
at least I could ride with the visor open & only my eyes were showing
& one good thing with no headlight .. no moths either
whew at least we made it

Friday was of to a good start when we concerd madducks drive leaving shortly after for Taupo not before meeting up with the maha's after mom was finished blowing her trumpet. Bearly a car on the road all the way. Picked up a stray just out of Taupo cold and tired and looking at life through tinted visor. Checked in motel then headed of to dinner got over charged for dinner but we soon sorted that. Back to motel for a good nights sleep but not before our spa bath for two .

SaturdayGet woken up by the alarm clock at 6.30 What a dirty trick that was from the people before us Sent Archer on his way back to Auckland and went for our morning walk, back to motel after that to pack and meet up with others and the breakfast at the truckstop. If you have never been there i would suggest you did bloody good food and prices.
We are of over the hill heading for napier. Maha had one to many coffees so had to stop for a pee stop :I stopped on an old shity shirt that stuck to the tire and when i took of it wrapt around hub and sprocket. Afer half an hour and madducks little sizzers (thanks madduck and maha you did wash your hand didnt you) we where of again with our escort in tow (thanks mstrs).Get to house and it was decided we will head of for another ride Wendy decide she was going to go to gym time for me to play. Nice roads in them there hills .
good to see so many aucklanders make the trip what happend to the locals good night had by all.

sundayset of early for home took 1 hour from last bp napier side to the truck stop taupo .shit loads off traffic going north only hit small pockets of rain got home safe.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

[Mrs Busa Pete]

thats all fooks

[sugilite:Me]

I wasn't really holding a plate of food all night eh

[cowboyz]

real shame I missed it. I was kinda hopeful of making it up there but really knew there was no chance. Looked like fun. Happy bday both of you and hope you werent too ill from all that cake (looked like a big un)

[Dooly]

Sorry we could'nt make it, one of the rellies on the missus's side sucked the kumara on Saturday so that stopped a few things for the weekend. No big deal I never really knew the old duck anyway.

I enjoyed the ride down to pick up Chancey & Sugi, never really ride in the rain, so relished the chance to do so, test the skills and the winter riding gear I rarely use. Could'nt see in front of me at all at times with the visor down, but was great tho.

After coming home from your place J & J, was at Farmlands in Hastings.
Saw about 8 bikes pull up outside obviously out of towners with their packs etc, all on sprotsbikes, wondered if they were looking for your place. Was a few Ducs, Yamaha, Honda etc?

[MadDuck]

Mom, your much younger and more beautiful than I imagined, I never got enough of your story about discovering a near naked Mikkel in the bathroom, even after the 100th time you told it

Yeah but it was such a good story !!!

Great to catch up with old friends and put names to faces of those I hadn’t met before.

MSTRS that ride you took us on still has me buzzing. What awesome roads you have down that neck of the woods and it was one of those days when I just felt at one with the bike. Thanks for the feedback Sugilite.

Oh and NO the Harley did not break down or have anything fall off for the entire trip (well not completely). Thanks to MSTRS and Team Cudby for the cable tie….

Thanks to Yungtart and MSTRS for some awesome hospitality. You guys know how to throw a good party.

[chanceyy]

Yeah but it was such a good story !!!

Only one of many that were told on the nite

[ManDownUnder]

Sorry I didn't make it - but a couple of observations...

Cola's not getting any smaller... someone put him through a hot wash will ya?
Mom's not getting any more subtle...
And KBers seems to manage a roaring good time... yet again

Onyas all

Mom's always in the right place, at the right time And is certainly one of the best story tellers there are...
It was a pleasure meeting you as well Sugi...it just gave me cramps in my neck to stare upwards all the time though

You did good too, Grasshopper I really thought that the Juggermeister would have been your undoing, but no, you were a real trooper

[MSTRS:Me]

Just got back from seeing Mom and Mahaman off the premises....they were kicking and screaming...something about not wanting to leave behind the choicest roads unridden. Leaves them an excuse to come back. After all, the best lovers always keep something back to ensure the sense of mystery continues
