Was it a surprise for some?

It was a "GUT buster" ride, after all.

Yo that was a good little ride yesterday, those burgers were awesome, it's not a real burger until there is beetroot juice and egg yolk dripping off both elbows! and there was, so good call! Shame there was so many cloven hooved tossers out there, and the goldy coloured condomodore was a "surprise" eh John! A small but select group, most enjoyable!

They were close to Taupo when I saw them, they had heavy rain through the gorge and then heavy fog closer to Taupo, and it was dark

Still envied them though

Oh no…

….. that is so unfair. John would be the best behaved of the whole bunch. Bugger. Hope it was not a big one. You must have had a weak moment mate. You usually set a good standard that most of us try and adhere to.

Aye Zukin….. did they do the loop via S/H 1 in the end? Cool. That would have racked up the K’s for the day.

How did the rally go Zukin?

No tickee - no washee. I was being good (having a nice man in a Hilux flash me helped) and waiting to clear the grease spill...he was busy making a sale to some unwary sod. It was the gold commode that I didn't see but Alvin picked up on his FuckOffMeter...
At 1pm to be told that they had a long way to go on their planned loop, they decided that they'd be better enjoying some choiuce HB roads and weather, before going back the way they came.

My bad, it is a gold "campry" not a condomodore, saw his snout out the window at fernhill this very morning was dishing out some filth tax.

Did I miss everybody yesterday, turned up 5 mins late at the BP one of the guys in the station tells me you gone to Wairoa so I say I will catch them up.
Yous must have gone someware else, I saw Alvin comeing back but I asumed hed gone for an earlyier ride so I chased on. Not a sole in site took a look down at the lighthouse and the Cafe but no one home so came thundering back. Was a good ride bit sore on the ol chuff though cos thats the first decent ride since Christmas, lots of wild life and road kills but no bacon missed you lot though.
Ware did you go Alvin

**MSTRS:Me** · 8th June 2008, 10:32

We did the ride plan for the helicopter ride so had already used our petrol allowance for the week!

Oh bugger G, when I first got to da servo the guy asked where we were heading to, and I said probably up the Wairoa road cause down south looked a bit breezy. So you can blame Mark....he was the one that suggested we go out to Crownthorpe. It was a bloody nice ride too....the wind eventually came up there as well, but then died down....was very enjoyable. Pity we didnt meet up with you and the others

I suppose the ol Wairoa track's still in good nick eh....most other roads seem to have benefitted from the recent wash down

.....next 2 days look promising according the forecast (tui) till next time...cheers W & D

....happy anniversary for yesterday.. Leanne & Mark (Grumpy)

**Grumpy** · 8th June 2008, 11:01

Cheers Warick. Leanne said letting me loose on the bike for the arvo was my present. It was excellent too. Good roads, good company and good weather. Brilliant.

Sorry George. My bad. Had a hankering for the loop we ended up doing. Sorry we missed you.

**Ascott** · 8th June 2008, 11:16

I must have just missed you guys and ess's, had no idea so headed north, caught up to 4 bikes that turned off to seafield road, didn't like to intrude so headed off up Wairoa road, just to the top of the hill and came back, sorry G, didn't recognise you, must have been busy, if I had, would have done a uee!
Next week?
