Manawatu weekend rides

Hope he's OK Sarge?

Made it to Kaikoura! The place is humming, as it seems is the whole Island.

Departed Reefton this am after some discussion on the best route. Noth West looking very wet so we decided on the Lewis Pass. Great ride, about 1/2 hr rain on the western side but clear as soon as we got through to the east

Lunch at Hamner Springs (rockin) then on to Kaikoura. The Buell suffered a puncture but no worries, all sorted in 10 mins.

We're now cruising the town looking for a steak! Beef - not whale I may add

[cowboyz]

Probably! It pays to get there early doesn't it?

yep. weather look smint so it could fill up fast. I still have to work sun morning so will be over there as soon as I can

I'm out, on call, boss away

damn, you probably got the skills to prep the triumph after the track.

Would've popped along for a looksee but I have to drive to Wellywood to visit my bother in hospital as it turns out, undergoing a major op tomorrow and will still be spaced out on saturday so sunday is the only day I can really see him while he's down there...

Shame., hope it goes well. That green 14 looks like a go huh

Lewis pass was a nice ride. What was in the tyre? mine was a sharp stone the extra grip down there comes at a price

Good evening from Reefton

This is one very, very cool town! An old gold mining location that's been restored and is up and running very nicely.

We're staying at the 'Old Nurses Home' now a backpackers and just the bee's knees

Had a great couple of days motorcycling. Dunedin was amazing, so many memories and we made Geraldine last night. Bit of a slow haul up SH1 to get there but a really hot day!

In fact, the weather has been awesome for almost the whole trip!

Amazing ride through Arthurs Pass today, got ton's of pics of the whole trip in fact and will post em when we get back.

Amazing time being had

Cheers guys, will pass on the well wishes.
Fairly serious op by all accounts, worst case he'll end up in a wheelchair but the Doc said 99% chance all will be well.
Cutting through muscle tissue at the shoulder/trapezius (sp) hight in the back to get to the spine where they will remove a couple of spurs that are putting pressure on his spinal cord the boring out the spinal column where there is swelling of the spinal chord in order to relieve pressure at that point.
There ya go, that's it in a nut shell, piece of cake.
Will post when I hear something.

tell him to ask the guy to check the shims and do the oil while he's in there
