Trail ride down the whangamomana Rd to the wanganui river would be cool with the blessings of the locals, though I understand the Whanga Rd has been in very poor condition for many years.
Keen to go with the flow, though I might have to break down out side the Toko pub for old times sakes.

Ohh this thread is rocking! Not to put a dampner on things but people .. September is a bloody wet month especially around here! Camping? If you like it rough .. dont mind a cyclone or two, maybe even throw in the odd tornado! lol .. mind you if yourv been drinking it wont really matter eh!
I'll be in my car so happy to drive to where ever is decided for dinner & socializing! The Pub shindig sounds fab, Boobs idea sounds pretty ideal especially where theres room for price negotiation on accommodation/food/Boobs DJing skills (and we better not be listening to Country Music all night either Boobs thats just not cool and I dont care how much you like Willi Nelson lol) ...
Better to centralize the event so that there isnt to much traveling/stumbling involved other than the bike riding, & bike/car/unicycle/moon hopper security will also be a top priority, places like the Furlong Motor Inn/Truckie Stop however handy, is not that secure.
As a first event, the easier to organise the better, then you can gauge the next ones!
Awesome Paul! I'll be keeping a close eye on this.
Rest In Peace

As long as you do it in private & wash your hands afterwards.

As there is cheap accomodation and billets in New plymouth would it not be prudent to make use of these.
As Boob can not be too self serving he can't push his venue as much as it deserves. If his lounge area is too small or full of hot backpacker chicks then a local venue for meal & get together could be used. It is also close to numerous motels for those requiring elite discression.
No matter where a ride starts from, it could end for the day in New plymouth, followed by dinner, drinks & chinwag.
Sunday could take some backroads before returning home.

I can organise a poker run for sat arvo if interested. Short and simple.
Furlong isn't bad for security, can park your bike right by the door of your unit. No trucks there on a sat.
Comfortably numb
Probably more relevant to next time, secure parking isn't a big issue at Whanga. According to the publican the locals aren't interested in vehicles that don't have 4WD or facility for bringing home dead pigs
Not unusual out there to see the locals ride through town helmetless on a dirt bike with a rifle slung across their back

Whanga pub only has 11 rooms. $100 pp for dinner, bed, b'fast.

I could prolly offer secure parking for 20-25 bikes in my garage in New Plymouth, that's about a 10 minute taxi ride to boobs and the centre of town.
Perhaps if out of towners park up at my gaff, I could ferry them to Boobs hostel in the fun bus, a night of frivolities in town and then a ride out/home the next day.
It depends if it's to be NP based and whether Boob could accommodate those that wanna stay.
If we did the forgotten highway ride, we could lunch at Whangas then after, there's a split off in Taumarunui where every one could bugger off in there chosen direction.
Just some ideas to throw in the mixer.
Oh bugger

kevin, good thinking. If its in NP then Hawera people have to travel and vice versa so cheaper is good.

Looks like we nut this one out tomorrow over a cup of tea & my nana's special fudge
Stay tuned folks
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

As Nike says just do it! Most who want to be there will be,if they can't it is a bummer,might have to come by car(doh)as will do a house/tennant check and may not be up till about 4.30pm Saturday at Hawera after working,but don't need to go home till Monday hehe,might utilise my handle at "Barries" on the Sunday.
Can you organise fine weather please.
There's an idea if you do a ride based around Nth Taranaki and meal up in NP,maybe can organise brunch in Hawera for those heading south on Sunday.Allowing for hangovers to clear Sunday morning.
