You guys all have an awesome and safe ride. Hope, all going well, to catch up with you on the Ruahine ride.

Mike

Thanks Mike, guess I'll meet you at a later date, not sure I'll be doin the Ruahine ride on the KLX!

if it keeps raining over here it will make things very interesting, lots and lots and lots of wet stuff had to ride home in the rain to day, with open face helmet, needles in the face, nice...........................

Am suddenly wishing I had new tyres on mine - it's gone monsoon here!

You need to wear a decent helmet










Open face with a visor does the trick.

its my work helmet, and wasnt raining when i went to work.
i thought i might ass off on the slipery road with my new tires.. on the way home.

After the last effort, the full knobbies that I got for the CCA ride will be going back on. Might be a bit interesting coming back over the 'tukas, but.

Sent EddieB a PM with address - assume the rest of you that intend being at BBQ have already notified me of your intentions to be here tonight by PM

have a great day and here's to hoping the stream levels around the Coast drop sufficiently in the next 24 hours

cheers Aslan

Higher stream / river levels just make for better photo opportunities

Serviced my bike last night and all loaded up ready for 3.30pm getaway.

See you all tomorrow morning. PS.. someone save me a cold banger from tonights bbq ( and i dont mean a KLR )

[CrazyFrog]

I'm out fellas, other commitments holding me here in Nelson now, bugger it all.
I want to see plenty of photos after the event to make me envious of what I missed. Have a good couple of days boys........

I reckon the first half of day 1 thru Orongorongo and Ocean Beach is looking like its gonna be real fun - after all this rain we could meet some interesting stream/river/gully crossings with all the water running out from the coastal hills! If that gully in the middle of the huge rock slide on Orongorongo is running wet it should be real interesting!

Bring on the ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!

Just remember "IT'S NOT A RACE"

If this ride is a race then I'm already last. I struggle to keep things together when it's dry, let alone with all this rain up here.
Looking forward to the shindig tonight & trying to follow you guys over the next two days. Haven't booked a ferry home yet......

[junkmanjoe]

at least 18 people turned up
weather looks good
klr blew exhaust seal head to pipe and started sounding horrible - couldn't fix it so came home to get DT - should hoopefully meet the others for dinner

Bart's oil all dumped itself out his countershaft seal - ended up pushing last couple of km back to Wainuiomata

so 2 down before we even got off the seal

such is life
