Starting at the Now Z Petrol Station on the left of the off ramp on top of the Bombays. It is usual to mob up behind the shop beside their cardboard cupboard lock up (small windowless timber cage)
It is going to be a 10am ride off, so get there ahead of time, gas up, fuel the body (pies, cakes, coffee) have a chat with the others and be ready to go at 10am sharp!
Destination. The L & P Cafe Paeroa, via Kaiaua, Miranda, Kerepehi, Netherton and on to In, um,Paeroa.
Through town to the BIG L&P Bottle for the obligatory Photo Shot then, back via Te Aroha, Ta Huna, Te Hoe , Ararimu.
The other Important bits, do come along,Fatty or not it's feeling like a Fat Biker that's the magical Ingredient.
Pies, aromatic beverages and a Love of a ride are the most important parts of being a Fat Biker, so feel free to come ride with us.

I am not sure I am going to get there, still way behind and want to spend some time with Rose and my Dad Saturday, he is just out of hospital. So will be working Sunday (Rose is busy elsewhere Sunday)

Looks like Kay & I are still good to meet you all at the cafe. What time do you reckon you'll be arriving? Hoping to bring the K1200RS for a blast before putting it on TradeMe.

Cafe amazing. Waiting waiting. Gone. Sad face. Missed The Flubbers

**FLUB** · 8th March 2020, 19:58

Sorry Mate. Missus put her back out. I sent you a text only to just get a reply that I had the wrong number.

**caseye** · 9th March 2020, 16:33

Ah, Noooooooooooooooooo! Thats a bloody nasty thing to have happen. Hope you've stepped up and are making diner, doing the washing, you know, the usual stuff. Tell her we feel for her and we do.
Missed a good sit down at the cafe, tried to raise you on line from there, but obviously you guys were otherwise engaged.
Then hit the back roads back up to Dorkland.
Pixie came along and provided some informed comment on things motorcycle etc, we stopped for a good long time , enjoyed a meal and then took to the highway again.
Traffic was pretty stacked up all the way down and up, depending on which roads we were on, not on the main roads much at all. Back to Dorkland mid afternoon. Just in time to clean works wagon and both bikes, yep both! Ratbag thinks she has this full time groomer, havent had the heart to tell her it's only me.
Next month we'll be riding Northwards on 16 and climes Westerly to a good Eatery/bar, good sealed roads, no major road works and best of all sweet FA Traffic.
Come along, one and all, Fat Bikers of course we want you to come back and catch up, everyone else, come along and see if you like our little mob, who knows you might want to ride with us again.
All are welcome.

How far "Northwards" and which "eatery"?-Would like to link up with you folk sometime,but a bit isolated up here.

**SaferRides** · 10th March 2020, 10:32

There's a decent bakery in Kaiwaka and an OK one at Mangawhai Heads. The cafe at Waipu Cove is good but expensive.

There's a good pub on the road out to Marsden Point but I can't remember the name.

Gidday Black Knight, I will find out and post that very important information here just as soon as I know.
Pixie is going to be ride leader for the day and he has been there several times, It's just past Whangarei, so shouldn't be too hard getting us all hooked up.
Back to you asap.

Porthouse Bar and Eatery. Went there a couple of weeks ago, it was great. I willkeep my eye on this thread as well, may ride down to orks and meet up for the ride. Plenty of other good eateries as well if you want a bigger and more scenic ride...
