[Ragingrob]

Wow so much for a short ride! Hmmm I'm actually kinda tempted... Now that the sun's out. Is it gonna stay out ya reckon? Windy up that way?

[EJK]

Nah not that windy. The weather is alright. High winds are drying the ground quite quickly... I'm suprised... Ya keen?

[Ragingrob]

Nah not that windy. The weather is alright. High winds are drying the ground quite quickly... I'm suprised... Ya keen?

Lol... Slightly contradictory right there?!

[EJK]

Thinking positive... both ways ;). So, you in or out?

Fact: 25kph SSW Wind

[Ragingrob]

Why not! Gotta have lunch now then I'll check what the time is... Might have to meet ya at Silverdale... I'll text ya what I'm doing.

[EJK]

Alright! Thats one more :sunny:

[Chisanga]

I'm going for a ride shortly... if I find myself out near Westgate I might join you :)

[Ragingrob]

Alright! Thats one more :sunny:

I text Jafa, he should be keen if he gets my text. Oh and you should miss out Helensville and cut through peak rd and old north rd. Where in Silverdale are you meeting and what time you reckon you'd get there? Or where in Orewa?

[EJK]

Im meeting MadDuck to pick up some tools (no, real actual tools) at Silverdale BP around 4:30pm and we are gonna meet Slyer on SH1 one hill after Orewa, End of Hillcrest Road around 5:00pm.

The mapping was decided by BANZAI so any route is negotiable :laugh:

[Ragingrob]

What time and where in Orewa you meeting Sam? I'll meet you there too.

EDIT: ^^ Gotcha... 5pm! Do you guys reckon you'll make it all the way back round by dark?

[HungusMaximist]

[TOTO]

Just about to get home from the morning ride and I get message from His Royal Suzuki Highness (Bananzi) that there is a ride happening from 3:30 - wicked. Buzzed around albany hill and bandit country for another two hours and then off to westgate to meet the boyos. Turned out it was quite a big uni gang. See the old friends and make new ones, enjoy some italian Cagiva bike porn, and off for a ride again :banana: A number of known and unknown bikers joined our antoraje (spelling ?) and we proceed to Silverdale, Puhoi, Wellsford and back down 16.

Wicked meeting all of you people. Fun was had by all I reacon :) Gotta do it again but for longer next time :yes:

p.s. Anyone got pics of the ride ?

[Slyer]

I've never been out in any decent wind like that, on several occasions I'd be happily going around a big corner and then the wind hits me and nearly pushed me over the centre line and into oncoming cars...
Was fun though, longest ride I've done.

[Ryan432]

I saw you guys coming into Kaukupakupa, I was parked up at the dairy having a coke, saw some bikes I recognised, turned out to be quite a nice avo for a ride after the shithouse morning!

:rockon:

Tomorro is also suppose to be pretty good day for riding :D

[retro asian]

Cheers to RagingRob?? for catching up and steering me back on course!

I foundout if the ride is 120 max GN can catch up Teh Hee Hee :bleh:

[musicman]

Yep it was a great ride guys, until my engine dropped a cylinder or something on Peak Rd, I was accelerating around where the golf course is and suddenly the engine lost power. :crybaby: I rode all the way down Peak Rd, Old North Road, Coatesville-Riverhead, and SH17 at around 70km/h, haha.

[rie]

lucky you lot!

cleared up beautifully in the afternoon. i was in the cage carting someone to hamilton. gah.

will do my best after exams to join the royal suzuki highness' and his entourage. :niceone:

[Slyer]

GPX warriors away! I figured out why mine says Ninja too, it's because its the US model.

[Blakomen]

number of known and unknown bikers joined our antoraje (spelling ?)

Entourage :D like the TV show

-

the weather was really poo in the morning eh?! i was gonna ride to work yesterday, but the prospect of spending 10 hours with wet shoes didn't do much for that idea... today looks mint though!

can't wait for the endless sunny summery weeks so i can get some corner practice in and destroy the noobness, destroy it good...:rolleyes:

[Ragingrob]

Lol! Yeah I was thinking that you'd be able to see the guys hit the turnoff or that someone would wait there haha, I was cruising and not thinking and then "shit dammit that's the turnoff"! By the time I'd passed ya and we'd got back on track the guys were long gone! Then I was like aaah should I catch up and leave him, or na I'll just hang round for ya haha.

Until Chris and them went flying past us! Had to boost off with them soz :p. I was waiting after that roundabout though and saw ya turn off to Riverhead.

Lol lonely ride back for me :(
