    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Wow Paul! You have done the forum (and us Kiwis) proud) Thank you very much for putting so much effort in.
 
Bloody nice report Paul, thanks a million, you have ideed raised the bar, going to be a hard act to follow. :clap::clap:
Methinks Stator is in for an interesting time.
I will update the map as soon as he reaches his new destination.
 
Time for a ride.

This is my '79 GS1000S which cost me all of two dozen beer in 1995. It was in the corner of a warehouse in bits and the owner just wanted it taken away. It needs a coat of paint and some other cosmetic stuff done, but the engine is like new. I would like to complete the restoration but the race bike has my financial attention at the moment. Although I also have a FZ1 my wife prefers to pillion on the GS. They don't make seats like those anymore.

The view from Stormy Point, Vinegar Hill. The hill got it's name from when a still used to active there. The locals would go there to purchase their "Vinegar". It is a one of the great motorcycle rides near where I live.

Your pics and info from the weekend have been outstanding.

Thanks Steve. As I said earlier though, the credit for the photos go to my son-in-law Mike. Good advice from GregT not to try to race and tour the pits. Time does no allow it at an event as large as this one was. The information is just a small part that is still circulating within my head. It was such an awesome weekend. But I'm racing again this weekend so my head will be full of new thoughts next week.

There's a few more to come Colin. I hope that this is going in the direction that Flyboy, you, and the other originators envisaged.
 
I think this is all just brilliant. I can't wait until he comes to the US east coast so that I can get in on the action and ride with that bear.
 
He's off to ozman in a few days, so I'll need to get him out and about before he goes walkabout in Oz.
 
Meeting the relatives

Meeting the relatives

He's probably got cousins all over the world. Here are a couple from my neck of the woods. They don't look too sure about having a "patched member" in their family though.

If he gets to the Burt Munro, keep him off the Speights,it's not safe for humans...

I am still hoping to head south for the Burt Munro festival. I will be riding there over three days with a bunch of mates from up this way, but will take a week or more to travel home. Plan to see a bit more of the country, and enjoy those South Island roads, but Stator wont be with me. He's heading to Australia in a few days.

Today was take a bear to work day.

Our summer is just arriving, so it's time for.... bear feet.

So, I think that I've got all of the obvious pictures and captions out of the way and I look forward to seeing what gets posted along these lines in the future.

Stator is now on his way to Australia but I just had to post this photo to celebrate his time in New Zealand. Anyone remember who won the NZ/England game last weekend?
