See ya there.

BTW: Anyone know when the Wanganui one is on? Not normally very well publicised but a good run.

This sounds good, will mark on calendar.

this is same day as the Ride for Hope in wellington .. 86 & I did this last yr .. its a remembrance ride for those who have committed suicide.

This is a fundraiser to those working with at risk youth in the kapiti/wellington area ..

was a brilliant ride last yr

Leaves from Frank kitts park in welly .. short stop in porirua & makes their way to Otaihanga Park (just north of Paraparaumu)

Sounds good to me

Ummm, so is this on the 5th or 6th, it sees the ride's on the 5th, the event's on the 6th?

FFS. Cant help yourself can you? If you want to talk about a different ride then start a new thread.

Hopefully see you there KittyKat. I take it that it is a wrapped present with age/gender written on it?

I will find out more this evening. Unfortunately I have prearranged appointment with a fat man in a red suit on Saturday. Too much to do.

I usually just take mine unwrapped. See ya there.

The toys are distributed by Barnados. Any type, age, whatever you can afford - eg. colouring books, soft toys, model motorbikes.
Santa will be there.

Being an ex Barnados kid from Feilding I can assure you it rocks when they turn up at Christmas!!
So KittyKat-is that wrapped or not?

It doesn't matter but unwrapped is easier for them to allocate. You might be scarier unwrapped but could be interesting, trim that fur.

Sweet-the kids and I will go toy shopping this week then.

Ummm-probably not a good idea talking about trimming fur on here...there are all sorts of odd bods out there and they may not understand your Kittykat jokes...Meow..from one KittyKat to another.
As for presenting myself as a present ...I have done that for quite a few years...don't think I could find my bow!!

Does anyone from Palmy want to meet up and ride over together??

BP Rangitikei about 11am??

12:00pm is advertised meet time in Feilding but the ride won't be leaving until 1:00pm

ok cool, will see who is keen, might take a detour on the way over, then at least we will have time for a coffee

I have permission to escape from 'the other realm' for a while so can do part of the ride. BP Rangitikei sounds good, I am trying to think of a good cafe or two.

It gives me a chance to check out the spare parts and I'll give my toy to someone else to take.

Hey-hopefully see you at BP then-just have to arrange the daughter who is swimming in Feilding that day.

Is that like flower arranging?

You must have tried to `arrange' a teenager? It's really difficult you know

Apart from the fact they both go in to water-no not really like flower arranging KittyKat.

Off topic really, But i prefer the name KittyKat

Watch out for spuds down your exhaust LOL

Change of meeting point and time for any Palmy riders that want to join us to ride to Feilding.
Now Caltex Main St (opp Memorial Park) at 11.30am
Cruisy ride over to Feilding for a coffee and bit to eat before Toy ride

have to see what I feel like tomorrow to see if I make it.

All done. A lot of bikes and bikers getting hot.

Geez, thanks for the change.


Very hot!

I turned up at BP Rangitikei at 11:00 (silly me), hung around for a while then went over to Feilding. 4 riders there, one Jarrad had been there since 11:00 (nice R6 Yamaha that he reckons wastes ZX9s).

Most memebrs turned up just after 12:00. my estimate 80 to 100 riders. Stinking hot. Nice to see lots of Manawatu Riders. Great to see A Harley rider testing his leg muscles. Oscar's bike is soo new and shiny.

It was a nice cruisy (slow) 90 minute ride. I had to head off straight after so I hope everyone enjoyed the social time at the end with sausage sizzle and drinks. With toys for the kids, badges and great company on a fantastic day it was primo.
