Opononi Ride debrief. The morning came and for a change, the sky was clear, the wind minimal, looking good for a ride. We met at BP North and then 21 bikes headed north in glorious weather, out to Kaukapakapa and up SH16 to Wellsford, the traffic was light and we negotiated the road damage safely, a quick regroup at Wellsford then on to Kaiwaka for a coffee and the obligatory donut.

Chapter Night.
kiaora HOG whanau. It was good to see a few turn up to Chapter night though realising quite a few members are still away on holiday either in the South Island or other parts of our beautiful country.
Director Cammo started off with heartfelt best wishes to Doc and Barb who we know are recovering well in NSH.
DC touched on our 30th anniversary yet to be held as covid prevented us from celebrating this last year and would need assistance in getting this going.
Our Poker run is coming up and Murray? was mentioned as the organiser of this event.
We have our AGM coming up in May and the committee invites members to come on board as positions for Assistant Director, Activities Officer, Sheriff is vacant at the moment (does anyone want my position? lol) If this maori boy can put his hand up and get himself in the shite, you can too! But seriously have a think about it we'd love to have you on board.
From the Dealership, Greg said Ray was recovering well and was back at work with his foot on the desk, that Paula was glad the 62-year-old baby was out of the house, lol. Greg filled us in about the launch of the Pan - America (which happened yesterday morning) and would have a demo in store soon along with new stock coming into both shops.
RD Craig spoke about what HD can(or can't do at the moment) as he talked about the next National Rally that at this stage will be held next year. Local rallies for this year for both islands will be discussed at a Directors meeting at Wellington in the coming weeks.
We had no reports from our LOH or HRC but John mentioned the upcoming ride events including the 1st one I will be taking on the 27th of March.
From the MO, I mentioned that our membership is sitting at 320, with many renewals and 10 new members since December. Talked about our amazing, fun thrilling chapter ride to Opononi with RC Cammo and RC Gandalf leading the way with TECs Maurice and George at the back. A great day of riding.
Just a note that Dee had her 1st ride to Chapter night (and 1st night ride home) and it was good to see our ladies talking about this and even better to hear some are getting off the pillion and giving it a go themselves. Fantastic ladies.
Last thoughts are with those members that have had mishaps over the summer festive season, we send you best wishes and love from us all at HOG Auckland Chapter.
