Title: Re: Anybody from New Zealand Post by Cloudy on 06/08/13 at 14:35:39 Welcome to the sight. Very useful place to be. Good choice for a first bike. Enjoy. Once hooked you'll never stop. I've been riding continuously for 32 years! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] |

Learn your bike, think ahead, Teach yourself to look ahead on the road, expect ANYTHING!. Treat all other road users as idiots and expect them to do the stupidest things and you can't go to far wrong, but most of all just enjoy riding !!! |

Title: Re: Anybody from New Zealand Post by jcstokes on 06/09/13 at 00:19:15 Cloudy, I'd probably be 50 K's from Wellsford and about 120-130 from Gordonton, Carterton probably about 600 k's. I'm a vintage car person so I work in miles. The beer idea might work ok at the Puhoi Pub. |

Title: Re: Anybody from New Zealand Post by paulmarshall on 06/09/13 at 12:52:21 I love the Puhoi pub. :D Yes I am out of the way but I do try to get up to Auck as much as I can. I was born there and have family there too. Family has a batch at Mt Maunganui so I try to get up there when I can also. You guys have a great meet and take heaps of photos. We here like loads of pics to look at. |

Title: Re: Anybody from New Zealand Post by Cloudy on 06/19/13 at 15:38:48 Caught up with Mr Stokes on Sunday at the Puhoi. One very wet day and I only got wetter as I headed north. Was good to catch up with someone from the forum. Hopefully next time will organize better weather. Did grab a pic of the Savage though. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag42/CloudyTriker/4daysaway2013001_zpsc7549faf.jpg (http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/CloudyTriker/media/4daysaway2013001_zpsc7549faf.jpg.html) http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag42/CloudyTriker/4daysaway2013002_zps9f4ad413.jpg (http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/CloudyTriker/media/4daysaway2013002_zps9f4ad413.jpg.html) Not such a good pic of mine- was raining at the time I took it ( and I had a Beer in my hand) |
