So I'll do a little more talking to people and see what sort of venue might be appropriate...

If you pick a closed off one, perhaps some of us can try bigger bikes

than we're normally allowed to ride

Hopefully I'll be there - good to see the plan to separate it from the xmas BBQ.

250cc demo bikes would be good.

Looking at possibly Mid Feb at this stage. I ned to organise a venue... I can't have it at my place coz there's physically not the room. So I need to sort something out so this can happen...

This may be a bad idea......but what about seeing if some country pub will close off their courtyard or similar?....even if they won't......we could gather there and try stuff on....sift around and dribble over nice bikes....talk shit.....oh hang on...sounds like every other day at work.

Was thinking about Martinborough..? But distance / ac coma dation might an issue for some. What's up the coast - a couple of camps (christian I think - no booze) and a pub at Waikanae on the main road...?? Thought of Paekakariki but now there's no pub there and it's in the middle of dirty shitty roadworks.

There is camp Ngati Awa (sp) inland from Waikanae BUT it is NOT a place to try out bikes for the slightly less than confident on someone elses very expensive motorcycle. Up side is accomodation and it's away from the maddening crowd. Downside is you have to carry everything in and do all your own catering etc which means someone has to work their arse off.

There is the park up from ashurst. Again, self catering but has better places for road testing.

The Wellington Classic Club are organising a Classic Bike show early this year. Could be a goer?

If Martinborough. The Cafe on the way in from Featherston has the big barn area out the back they hold the sunday market in. It's pretty good as it has catering (the cafe), various accom options (none cheap), bars and a huge covered area if the weather is less than perfect.

I can ask Vicki about other venues Kapiti north as she used to sell into the cafe's etc. I'd say avoid a shw1 place which rather limits the options.
