Let's ride to Cape Reinga on Saturday (29 November)

[xwhatsit]

Alright, well there's a nice young (motorcycling) lass who's come to NZ for a wee while. She's brought her gear and wants to pillion around! She started a thread somewhere on KB, Angelkwan is the username.

She'd like to see Cape Reinga -- so would I -- so I was thinking we could ride up on Saturday, pick her up en route (she's staying in Kerikeri), stay somewhere for the night (is there anywhere at Cape Reinga?), then come home the next day.

Who's interested? I hope he doesn't mind me writing him here, but GiJoe1313 has expressed interest so far (not hard to get him to come along on a ride, mind you), but who else would like to come along? The more the merrier.

Oh, fuck a duck. Should've guessed. Well maybe some people would like to carry on further instead of turning back and making it a two-day affair.

I'm in need of a serious ride, Kaiaua isn't doing it for me and I have to clear my fucked-up head out.

Be a shame if they're sealing it up. That 20km of gravel to get to the lighthouse is what makes the trip, IMHO. Lovely road.

Mind you only way I'm getting to cape reinga trough those last 20km of gravel is going to be on a damn bus. I aint destroying a second bike on that limestone gravel again.

Come along with us, you grumpy, polygamariding codger. Bring the Führer bike and you can even head back in one day with a cushioned arse, you wont have to shack up with us young lawn-trespassing kids. You can take some gunpowder with you in the panniers, Mr Fawkes.

I'm a Hondafag and a SMCfag - does that cancel out or double up?

Possibly interested, but god only knows how many different things I have planned for this weekend.
