    What are numbers like on this ride now?

    I used to find around this time each year (late Feb-March) numbers would pick up.
    I wave to every biker I see.

    Next week is the end of daylight savings .... Dawn do you think we should do an ATNR memorial ride and then pronounce it dead?

    Best idea I've seen in a while. It hasn't been the ATNR for a LONG time IMO

    Had a nice ride on Thurs. back from Murawai... with a Ferrari.
    Have thought this would be a good route for an ATNR. Go watch the sun go down.
    Some nice little roads around that side of the island.

    Work, Weather and the Ginger Coont have decimated the ranks of riders keen to socialise on Thurs. nights. Be interesting to see how many Thurs. nights saw rain over the last year.

    A new gang, keen to ride without attracting the attention of the aforementioned toe rag, new routes and dinner places may see a revival of the ride.

    The SATR seems to be suffering the same fate.
    They didn't have a jack-booted nemesis intent on destroying their ride.
    They did have a variety of very good m/bike roads, a variety of dinner venues and some real characters.

    So why the lack of interest?
    Are we victims of the general malaise affecting the nation.
    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.

    I'm keen when I get my license back, and get a new bike. Everything seems to be dying down these days, NASS is another example. Sad times...sad times.
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.

    I understand motorcycles sales are way down. Lots of dealerships closed in the last 24 months.

    So I think there is simply less people riding bikes at the moment.

    I still ride my bike.
    I do hope you are not suggesting I am a lesser person than those who no longer ride.
    I'm sure you meant fewer people are riding.

    A tank of gas is a bit of a luxury for me at the moment, someone poisoned my money tree.

    Forecast looks good at this stage.
