    Happy to head off for a weekend with my TRMCC family.
    Auckland chapter met up with some Northland, Waikato, and BOP chapter members to ride to New Plymouth.

    Saturday evening had a buffet dinner, charity auction, and live band :party::heart_eyes:
    Each chapter presented a trophy to their selected bike judged on the ride and in the roped off area at the venue

    Then it was a quick pack and home with a stop for gas :imp:

    Glad you had a good time, I was wondering the other day if you were OK, given the terrible weather NZ's had of late.

    Thank you @Bikerman

    Auckland suffered major slips after recent rain, with many home being flooded. We only had minor flooding at home, requiring sweeping out the garage on 27/1/23 :poop:
    Many other areas of north island have been devastated by the cyclone Gabriel, but we fared ok.o_O
    I saw many slips and road damage over the last 3 weeks of riding :broken_heart:

    Looks like a fantastic event, @Dartplayer! Great bikes (and cars, too, evidently), weather, food, and friends. Love that tug o' war photo and also reading about the auction fundraiser donation, too. :):cool::sun: Thanks for the report and photos.
