nice riding, didn't see any MAJOR dickhead maneuvers, and only made 2 small dickhead maneuvers myself.

great ride that no one binned on.

Thanks to Tracey and her whanau for letting us all stay at there batch and organizing a SWEEEEET ride.

Thanks to the stranger for taking me through the forgotten highway - shame you didn't stay for the rest of the ride. (it was sweet apart from the breakdowns and the fuzz)

Thanks to everyone who put up with me, badger for loan of his tools, markH for letting me use his scooter as a pack mule and to everyone who stopped and waited with me

and thanks to toto for that secret night of hot steamy love.

Big thanks to Trace and family, great ride and all worked out great.

I gonna try and upload some pics so here goes.

First pic is of the Whangamomona pub, the second is of the Ninja's sleeping and the thrid is the group shot while we were in the clouds surrounding Mt Ruapehu.

Took me a while but this should work.

I heard you had some issues, was that when you pulled over just after the roadworks, what happened?

Great weekend. Cherio to Trace for organising this run around the block in taranaki.

Pace was good, roads were curvy and smooth and views and company were fantastic.

Quote of the ride: (after seeing me wearing a rubbish bag as a raincoat...)

"...I knoew the recession is pretty bad...

some rain but nothing major - had loads of fun

P.S.

and thanks to toto for that secret night of hot steamy love.

Shame about the bad weather on the Forgotten Highway, the views on that road are truly awesome. We'll have to do another ride through there!!

Great weekend boys and girls! Thanks to everyone who came, I had a great time!
I hope everyone found it sweet, as it was my first ride to organise.
Unfortunately you didn't get to experience the true joy of the forgotten highway due to the rain... but I still think it was all good!

Great to see you might have got a view around Egmont in fine weather,Whanga still impresses in the wet,did ya check out the weekend specials to stay there,well worth it,makes me homesick almost,well ok,at least the F/H would be reasonably stable with no tar lift in the weather.
