A rally today (Saturday, 31 Oct) at Parliment drew about 800 (hight estimate) riders. No bikes allowed in grounds. The lawn area was filled with bikers. Very few signs and banners. Crowd behave extremley well. Short speeches by Ulises (sp!) President and Annette King (wearing rider gear) and a girl who I think was from Woman's Riders group. One or two BMWOR members there. Some non-member BMW owners too.This pano photo is only one area where bikes gathered to park.

Ask an Amercan or Kiwi visitor to bring a can back; checked baggage of course.

Great, but make sure the saddle boxes are on the bike. Little feet will get caught up in the spokies.

I have found with the recent popularity of mopeds and scooters, there is now no room for everyone.

Well Gunnyrob, a great story at your expense. I've been around most of those roads in the last year or three, and have fond memories of Opotiki. I'm just off to kiwibiker to check out the pics.

in reply to: Heat-pumps ? #12328

Hey guys, just found this thread.We have right now, 3 quotes to choose from, for heat pumps. - Well, last one is due now. But 2 quotes were more or less the same, but with different brands of units. The different sales reps all push their own favourite brand, and poo-poo the others. Make your own mind up there by doing your own research. We have our own preferred brand. Apparently the compressor in the outdoor unit is only made by a couple of factories, so the H/Pump companies buy from them, and essentially use the same components. (Something like Lucas supplied electrical parts to all different car manufacturers.) We think a ground mounted outside unit is better than a wall (brackets) mounted option, as any motor noise & vibrations will not permeate through the walls into the house interior.
