Just a reminder if anyone wants, ride tommorrow from BP Clive from 1.

Now I'm going to have to drag out the work excuse. Got to get the bloody nets on mi grapes b4 the birds have them all. If you go down Mill Rd & turn into Tuki Tuki real loud that will be just perfect to piss me off, I'm on the corner so will be listening to bikes going past all weekend.

What are variety are you growing?
My syrah is still green, not thinking of nets just yet, but note some vineyards on the way home are putting them up.
Must have a good look tonight at mine.

Im thinking of going for a tootle through to Wairoa tomorrow. Leave BP Bayview at say 11am? Anyone else interested?

Can't make Dale, staying out up Kereru tonight on this piss, so wont get home in time tommorrow.

Interesting ride today.
About 50 bikes, old and new.
Went to Waimarama, but lots of traffic, so slow going. Came back to the Classic Club clubrooms, very nice in the country, yakked to folk I knew, bar and food provided.

Only bad thing on the way back a bbq fell off a ute in the hills just out of Waimarama and a guy on a Vrod ploughed into it.
Think he was hurt, came around corner just after it happened.

Only if you promise to ride at over 100kph !


Went on the Classic ride today. Not my cuppa tea.

Too many bikes going too slowly, then noisy sports bikes passing the queue.

Too dangerous (eg. the poor V-Rod dude) and boring.

Am not into large processional groups so split off at the Waimarama turnoff, rode to Patangata for a cold beer or two.

Would be great if I had a classic, mind... so no disrespect to the Classic Club.
