It was a beautiful morning for the April End-of-Month Ride (EoMR), and for Rich and me, it started with a 7:30 a.m. departure from Palmerston North as we headed over to Whanganui to set up for the swap meet.
The plan was simple: get there early, get set up, and let the rest of the crew join us later. If anyone found something small and worth grabbing, Rich had space in his ute to bring it back to Palmy.
By the time we arrived, plenty of early birds were already doing the rounds. As the morning progressed, it was great to see items changing hands, deals being made, and arrangements sorted for collecting larger purchases. Rich’s ute definitely left Whanganui a bit heavier (and lower!), and he was happy to have sold a few more items from his stock.
A big thank you to Lloyd and Wayne for organising the event. Judging by the turnout and the buzz on the day, we reckon the motorcycling community would love to see another one in the future.
There was plenty to see and buy, and from what we heard, quite a few bargains were snapped up. Best of all, it was a great chance to catch up with people we hadn’t seen in a while—especially from the Palmerston North area.
Well done, gents—great job all round!
