The Story π€Ώ
ποΈ THE HARDTAIL TANK β A ButtSnorkeler Love Story ποΈ
"Go Hard or Go Home. She'll Notice."
It started, as all great Kiwi love stories do, at a Taupo petrol station at 6am on a Tuesday.
Big Rangi β President of the Whanganui HardTail Hogs, 23 blokes on Harleys who collectively owned one helmet and zero regrets β was filling up his Fat Boy when he saw her.
Aroha. Leaning against a cherry-red Sportster. Eating a pie. Not even looking up.
Rangi did what any self-respecting Harley man would do. He dropped the petrol nozzle on his boot, swore loudly, and tried to play it cool.
"Sweet bike," he said.
"Sweet tee," she said, finally looking up β eyeing his ButtSnorkeler HardTail Tank like it was the most interesting thing she'd seen since the All Blacks won the World Cup.
The gang watched in silence. Twenty-three grown men on Harleys, not breathing.
"Where'd ya get it?" she asked.
"California," said Rangi. "Well... technically New Zealand. It's complicated."
She laughed. The kind of laugh that echoes off the Kaimanawa Ranges and makes grown bikers go a bit wobbly.
By Taihape, they were riding side by side.
By Palmerston North, the gang had unanimously voted her Honorary Road Captain.
By Wellington, Rangi had asked her to marry him.
She said: "Ask me again when you've bought me a proper feed, bro."
He bought her a Georgie Pie. She said yes. (Close enough.)
The whole gang wore ButtSnorkeler HardTail gear to the wedding. The celebrant β a bloke who looked suspiciously like Fred Dagg in a leather vest β declared it "the most outstanding ceremony since that cow cocky stood in his paddock for 18 hours trying to win the Nobel Peace Prize."
Nobody knew what that meant. Everyone laughed anyway.
The HardTail Tank.
Built for the ride. Built for the romance. Built for the bloke who drops a petrol nozzle on his boot and still gets the girl. Sleeveless edition β because legends don't hide their guns.
