RRRR (Round Ruahine Range Ride), 6-7 March 2010

[marks]

If you need a bed for Saturday nite, you can have my spot in the cabin with Junkmanjoe & Aslan as i am now not going to be attending the ride due to my sprained thumb! Just PM them and sure there'll be happy to have you along!

that is a real bitch

Perhaps you could spend the weekend at Toppies

Hoping a newbie can come along. I switched my Saturday shift with someone, so I'm free for the weekend and would like to come along. I'll watch the thread for meeting places and times. I live in Ngaio, Wellington, so I'll be hoping to join a crew leaving here. Anybody need a roommate at the destination?....I only snore after 2-3 beers; I'll come with extra ear plugs and/or my one man tent

Thanks again for the heads up Marks!

Hi Vet, I will be departing from Miramar going pass Ngauranga Gorge 6:30ish. Actually probably best to just meet us at Upper Hutt as my punctuality needs retraining and I can make up any lost time on the motorway.

That's a damn fine idea! She could administer some therapy to me in her break times!!!

Hey thats great that you can come.

If you don't want to be up and out by 6.30 you could meet Cary and I at Waikanae at the service station on the left before the first traffic lights at about 10 to 8. We will be stopping for coffee/breakfast at Shannon and then heading up to meet everyone at Ashurst.

Can someone please remind me, what time do I have to be at Ashurst?

Leaving Woodville at 9am (allow 15 min for stragglers, so more like 9.15). Over the Saddle with quick windmill photo will take half an hour. Meet Ashhurst at around 9.45.

Here's hopeing we get good weather.

[young1]

Bart do you want to PM me your cell number in case of anything.

Marks, I will bring the rum again? Taste of petrol has nearly gone out of the bottle I have used!

Looking forward to the ride, been so long since I have been on the bike that I have had to charge the battery up!!!

As far as I was aware it was me, Aslan, Andy Mac?

Right now I have to go out & fix a flat. Got a nail in the rear MT70 on the KTM. Right through a knob. Just got in from picking it up on the trailer.......grumble grumble. bloody bus grumble.

Seem to be having a run of these. Two so far over the last week, hope to avoid the third but will be packing the repair kit cause I KNOW that these things come in threes..

Cheers. Steve

Bart is this at the Mobile in Ashhurst as you said in an earlier post seems to be a bit of back tracking to me, please advise

Make sure you put an inline filter in the fuel lines - you know that there will be a little bit of swarf in there that clogs a jet just after you've topped off the tank.

Reminds me... I need to do the same.

The tube was H/D. The spare one is also H/D. But it was a really big nail, straight in. The spare tube has a nick in it (but not a hole) from travelling with me too often, so I'll pass on that too, and buy some new ones tomorrow.

[Aslan]

folks - looks like BMWNut, AndyMac and Moi (perhaps TheVet to if MarkS hasn't lured him away via the Shannon side and the promise of Coffee en route)plan on leaving Caltex Rimutuka at 7am to link with you JunkManJoe at turn off to the bypass coming into to Masterton from the South - just before Solway - aiming to see you Joe close to 8am as possible - cheers Aslan
