Yeah I've already glued one, so that's no surprise. Sort that and they might last another 14 years!

No No 10 cents is good, people should stop using/saying 2 cents worth, that just doesn't make any sence no more. Eh?

Great writeup. A couple of comments:

Blardy hell. If you'd told me about that beforehand I might have been sufficiently motivated to find enough petrol money for the trip.

Clearly your detector is sulking due to the utterly hillbilly helmet warning system you fitted to it. I think pics of that are needed.

I was keen to pop up to Rahotu and pick up a card (so I felt like I was still participating in the 4 Pts... sort of) and meet the lads, but I had stuff to do first thing and couldn't get away at 8:30. So after studying Cowboyz' original trip plan I figured I could leave Palmy at 10:30am and still catch them in Rahotu. The plan was sound... except that they didn't stick to their original route. But I'd txted Yod that I was OTW, so they hung around in Rahotu until I pulled up about 1:30pm.

Now that I'd like to see.

I apologise, I have been unclear.

It's a "helmet-mounted warning system" for the "radar detector" that is completely "hillbilly" in design and execution.

It didn't suck his brains out tho lol.

Brilliant write up Lance and good to hear about it live too. Wish I could've been there!!! Sorry about Marton, I looked in my mirrors and thought you guys had carried on

I went to Auckland and back on the bike on the weekend and i was impressed with the attitude of cars mate most of them shifted over and let us through and every one in Jafaland was great to!
Cheers

Were you giving your traveling bike mechanic an escort home?

**Bonez** · 29th October 2008, 10:03

Good tale Lance. Pity I couldn't make it to meet yous fallas on the last bit. Attempted it but had to turn back. Oh and thanks for the cell phone and charger, finaly entering the 21st century. Looking fwd to more pics and musings from Meanie, Yod and DnB.

Horse the hillbilly appliances aren't too much of a surprise are they?

**BiK3RChiK** · 29th October 2008, 10:19

Man, that was a good read! I hope you aren't in such a rush next time you are through the Eastern Bay, Cowboyz.. Look us up, next time!

BTW, the truckie is in a serious condition in Waikato last I heard with serious head injuries... hopefully he makes it.

Dont work too hard. I still got another day and a half before hitting the grindstone. Life is hard.
At one stretch there above auckland I passed 70 cars in one move! The traffic was horrendeous! 99% of them were really well behaved. a few got a little upset with me but I didnt hang around to chat.

Already talk of returning to the east cape. Next time will be a more leisurely trip. I was going to stop on the next striaght but I just couldnt find one. Magic road.

Good to hear about the truck driver. Fingers crossed. It looked a real mess.
