Im home Sunday 30th - would anyone be keen for a brunch run?
I'll be a starter
for participating in a run. Nothing like a small tiddler run or similar to de-stress after Xmas.
Shall keep watch with anticipation.
Cheers Mark
Now that Cheeky has the 125
I'm sure it will be "fast" food.
Ah yes
Brunch at mine?
And here I am staring at my matchbox kitchen in my shoe box apartment (with my 30cm high sad plastic coffee table sized xmas tree)...
Never fear Rhys - Columbus Cafe is just down that road :o)
Merry Xmas ya'll
Ride safe
Is anybody out there ?
Is anything happening
I'm still keen
Perhaps we could meet at 9.00am at Honeywell, see how many turn up and decide on a destination/route from there. I don't have any current thoughts at the moment.
So Fran, Rhys, Ron are you keen? Anyone else?
Informal plans for tomorrow
Not sure if anyone is coming tomorrow, but will cruise past Honeywell at 0900 and depart about 0915. If anyone is keen we will see you there, otherwise I'm off cruising solo (doesn't sound desparate does it?).
Let us know if you are coming and I'll wait.
Destination totally unknown.
Cheers Mark
Sorry Mark
Family time
so it was you on the berg I
so it was you on the berg I saw this morning about to turn left onto kyber pass
I had just been for a swim at the pools ope you had a nice ride great day for it
Fantastic weather
Enjoyed the ride, the Auck was looking splendid.
Nice scoot Pogo, start giving it some stick now, its loose enough, dont wait!! The bore could glaze and hinder top speed later on.
Amazing to think all of the Shore dwellers used to have a vehicular ferry from Birkenhead and that was the only way really.
The Ferry company was really powerful in those days!
Thanks to everyone that came on the run today
The weather was great - a day that you could just ride all day. It's a pity I was not able to do the full run but the family was having a 'tanty' before I left so every minute saved was a bonus albeit at the cost of a perfect day. Judging by the pic's Margret, it looks like I missed the best. Oh well next time huh!
Thanks again, Mark
Friday night run anyone?
Anyone keen for a ride Friday night and perhaps a beer/fish and chups somewhere too?
Back at work on Friday
but it would be rude to say no. However my attendance depends on the amount of criminal element happening on the day. Will see how we go though.
Sounds Good
Let battle commence as to where the BEST fish and chip shop isin the city environs? This is serious stuff now!
best FnC shop according to
best FnC shop according to TARGET on TV3
The COD FATHER in birkenhead and you could take them to the warf for that authentic feel and smell
is that this friday night 4th
i might be keen dep on the kids, might bring out the sidecar, anyone know what the weather is like??
Brunch run to your place?
What are you going to be making us?
At this stage
the weather looks ok.
Shall we just do a tiddler run or do you fancy something a little further afield. By that I mean for an hour or two say - not an all or half day ride. I'm very happy to do either an I am still "running in" my scoot. Any ideas of a destination? Choc cake a prerequisite reward for a good run at the end of the day!
We'll keep in touch.
Cheers Mark
Ride to Greenhithe Motorway
Thanks for meeting us for the informal ride from Honeywell's, Mark. Meeting up with Jennie and Peter and Lester-minus-Buddy, Old Mod and myself followed you down Symonds Street, Anzac Avenue and over the harbour bridge. It was a glorious day to cross over the Waitemata, mixing with the speedsters on the middle lanes. Exiting at Onewa Road and visiting Shelly Beach was a good idea and a stop at Birkenhead wharf was an opportunity to reaquaint myself with that ferry terminus. As you know Peter had to make stops as often as his on-call needed his attention. When we farewelled you after going down the new Greenhithe motorway, we went to Herald Island and had our cupofteas or coffee and lunch snacks. Time was given to viewing the video Richard made of the Xmas Lights run. The sun was so hot that Peter had to cool down his and Jennie's helmets. Thanks for leading us from Mt Eden to Glenfield.
Margret
Spotted!
Ice, was that you on the Gilera that cut through the carpark to avoid turning right at the traffic lights?
