Auckland Meet?
 
I'm thinking we should take advantage of the nice summer (finally) weather and maybe get together for a cruise... Waitangi Weekend could be a good option

Any takers?

I am going to NUTSHL 's place to pickup some spares, what about the weekend after (Saturday or Sunday is fine by me).

Cool, I'll have a think about a route for a cruise and post here soon. Since we went north last time (almost 2 years ago :eek:) Maybe we should head south this time... ?

Ph number PM'd to you shortly

sounds good - what about meeting at the truck stop just past Papakura & then head into Thames ?

If you want to go south I highly suggest this route (link below) from Botany town centre, we used to blast this one on the bikes (I had an RG500).

You can get possibly the best fish and chips in NZ at Kaiaua or if you want something a bit flasher there is Hotel DuVin near Mangatawhiri.

So. Maybe count me in too, although my gearbox is proving a bit of a mystery at present.

Steve. Let me know if you are on for Sunday my place in west Auckland. I'll text you the address.

FYI I think there's the annual Paeroa bike races on the weekend after Waitangi.

Marcus,

done that one quite a few times - even on my push bike (Slingshot MT3) - during a midnight ride with bike club!!

Ian - (NUTSHL), sunday is fine for me to come around, let me know the time & address (are you still at woodside?)

TXT me to confirm.

What about heading down to Raglan? I had to go there recently for work and went the back way around behind Huntly. Was a reasonable run. There's a prett good pizza place down there too. :)

Re: Auckland Meet? (NUTSHL - can you reply)
 
Sounds good, can we wait till Ian (NUTSHL) has the SVX back on the road - he has got gear box / ECU issues that should be fixed in the next couple of weeks - Ian can you tell us more later this week if things are minor?

Works for me; keep us posted Ian, would be good to have a handful of SVX's on tour :)

In the meantime here's a map of the route from Bombay to Raglan for discussion.

Work for me - will bring my partner along for the ride - leave the dog (a Griffon) with my father for the day!

Might float the idea past my missus; could be an excuse for a nice family drive....

Any word on Ian?
