There should be a few pic's emerging

Here's a few to whet the appetite. I would have had more but I dropped my camera and broke it. Seems to be a theme with me at the moment

Nice pics guy's!

Especially liked the Kwaka green lawnmower!

Sounds like a great time was had by all!

Glad to hear you all had such a good time

perfect weather unlike the last time we tried it

Look forward to a full report, the pics so far whetted the appetite for sure

Getting up that way this weekend when I collect the family. Unfortunately only in a cage but better than nothing.

Looks like it was the perfect way to spend Waitiangi weekend

Yep cheers Chanceyy for a great day out!

I think I even plucked another customer for Kerry at TripleFourensics.

Hard to believe that old fella rides a Speed Triple and I don't think his Missus was keen on him buying more bling.

Almost thought she was going to tell me off for encouraging him.

Good to catch up with family last night and finally got to meet my Great Niece & Nephew.

Shit, i almost think it's time to resurect a road bike ! Spent yesterday replacing the roof on the deck and i mean faaaark that shit, rather be sweatin in my leathers than clambering around on a roof of brittle plastic !

Sounds like some good rides been had this weekend gone !! Noticed Heidi walking past her lil bike stroking it of late, so know she's hangin to get out there ! I suppose i should relent and get the road gear back on !

Organising photos and videos. Got a heap of them.

Got first one uploaded just now. Plenty more to come.

It is just processing via Youtube and should be ready very soon.

Going to sort out a report. So much has happened!

I think she was relieved when the rest of us was gearing up

Getting with family esp ones you have not yet met

is a good thing
