Dinner & drinks evening

**sels1** · 30th August 2008, 18:40

Yeah I cant make it either due to visitors arriving to stay the night. Have a good night, will catch up next time.

I have sent my representative anyway...

She wasn't kidding about the nametags! That woman's a power of organisation - good on you Chanceyy for organising the evening. Lots of good rabbiting on about bikes & the weather. And bikes.

Mentioned this video at dinner tonight, while discussing Triumphs with one well-known Manawatu-based Hinckley aficionado (who may have to build a bigger gargre to store all his trumpets, apparently) and he asked me to post the vid. Pretty sure I found it originally somewhere here on KB.

Thanks Horse it was a good nite for sure.

Awesome to see Robertydog & Gareth51 who travelled, along with the newbies Road King, Cleo, Gingin come along meet the usual crew. (Fingers crossed Cleo might have a bike by next sat so she can come out riding) Hope to see Gingin and Road King out and about soon

Then we had Moki & Littlebud, Scruffygit who post but had yet to meet some of the locals .. hopefully last nite took care of that

Of course the usual pirates 86 with his Bigggggggg buckle, along with a huge arsed grin about the new two wheels in the garage (will check that out later this morning). Mowgli looking great & awesome to see you healed up, Manwithav8 whom has been missing in action for a wee while .. but good to see you both out last nite.

Name tags just make it so much easier than "whats your name again" but thanks guys for coming great to catch up, & since monday is officially the first day of spring (even though this weekend is surely one outta the hat) see you all out on the roads soon

Yeah, not bad alright - need to find some of those nutrients they use in the engine shop...

Thanks for the great night out - skipping breakfast this morning...

Hope everyone enjoys their various rides today - I'm off to free the Honda from the confines of the shed...

That's just sooooo good, wow. The sight of the Rocket getting safely home after the loss of a front wheel will never leave me

Excellent night out alright!

**sugilite:Me** · 31st August 2008, 11:42

Cheers all for the great night all!
A special thanks to Sandra for organizing the evening and the invaluable name tags!

Great to put names to faces etc.

This weather is primo eh, time to get the ever suffering 750 out for Sarges ride!!!

**NZsarge** · 31st August 2008, 11:54

Yeah was a most enjoyable evening to be sure.
Thanks Sandra for jacking that up.

Maybe that could be an annual or bi-annual event perhaps. Pity I had'nt arrive earlier to get around to see a few new faces before the sit down.
Hopefully these new faces I can catch up with on a ride or two at some stage.
Cheers all.
