I'd happily take a plethora of snaps and offer them to you for free...

...but my photo taking skills suck it's fair to say...

You guys dont wanna get off at the Newton offramp and pick up one city girl, do ya? Sounds like a great day. Blondini, I'll only be doing 70km, so that makes two of us at least. But by the sounds of things, we will be crawling.

Great - unless you guys are riding with lots of people, then it might be a pain in the

See you tonight.

Ok those going up from tauranga, since we'll be going through Kopu to pick up a few from Thames and such, say we meet at Summit BP at 8:00am? Gives us three hours before the start. Pleanty to meet others and then join the main KB group.

**WarlockNZ** · 24th January 2007, 17:02

All right Westies ... whats the deal ... where are we going to meet ?? and what time.

I propose the Mc D's carpark by the gas station ... gives people a chance to gas up.. at say 9 to 9:30am ...

That should get us to the jumping off point in plenty of time ..

How say you savages ??

**Nicksta** · 24th January 2007, 17:38

ok.... for those of you who are travelling at 70km/hr.. or just want to cruise in with me...

Meet at Westgate Shell @ 8:45am for 9am departure for Mobil K'road (Just by Colemans cnr K'rd and Ponsonby Rd).
Depart Mobil K'Rd at 9:30am for Autobarn, Papakura. to meet the other KBers.

PM me if you would like my cell number or tell me your bike for me to look out for you... I'll be on Lil Gix.. a bright red GSXR600... and riding 70km/hr so you wont get lost!!
