1. Last run back down the beach
2. Great day, this last run back down the beach was fantastic,
   I could have turned around and gone straight back.

Cheers for organising the ride Mark

Excellent fun

Good on you guys nice pics on a very nice day. I couldn't make today so made a run to Karapoti which wasn't bad at all









Went from Upper Hutt up to almost the other side and back.

Hey Pampa - pity you couldnt join us.

Did the gear lever stay on this time????

We were up in the Mungatooks yesterday and it was wet wet wet



We'd have come through with you today if wed known it was ok.

such is life

You never know but it wasn't too wet, was reasonable dry and it seems not as wet as some of the bits u were through today

Bizarrily enough the lever and all the rest stayed on the bike and thankfully and strangely I didn't fall which is probably the second time it happens while @ Karapoti.

Although didn't go as far as Mungatooks. I'll wait to go with you ....

Today did a very quick run ... about an hour an half across and back trying to improve my time and stay out of my record 'most amount of K on first gear without using throttle while panicking constantly'

Knowing is ok is almost like ... like the E&C way, followed by two 4x4 one helicopter, a mechanic, a medic, a fixer, a priest ...

Cheers,
Pampa

Sorry that you missed hooking up with us.

I am keen to take the KLR through the hills soon so will post again - hopefully you'll be interested in a re-run - and we'll try and turn up next time

cheers

Janine and I had heaps of fun, really cool to meet other bike nuts. The old A/T went better than I expected but man we had saw ass's with not being able to stand up.

Wow the photo's are great, I do remember been sprawled out on the ground and Mark restraining from taking photo's until after he asked whether we were alright (between laughter of course). How Jim got his BMW across that river is beyond me it looked like it vanished but Pete's Kawi did disappear lol. That was an awesome fang along the beach.

Look forward to coming out for another ride, great peeps to ride with...

cheers Mark and Janine
