To tell the truth I'd love to come on one of these rides and meet everyone I've been taking the piss out of (in a light hearted manner) but it's just too much of a pain in the arse to travel 50km to get there then another 50km home AFTER the pub. We should organise a South or East Auckland one for the rest of us coz it's a damn good idea..contrary to common belief not everything in Auckland revolves around the North Shore or Waitakere City....I'd organise it but having only been riding for 4 months the chances of anyone respecting what I have to say are slim to fock all!

Respect to the Qkchk and whanau for all their work - seems to be a good little institution you got going on Thuirsday nights.

Harden up you big girl.
Don't do the ride but I go up to the pub and visit and I'm in the far east too.
Piss weak.

We five, we lucky few survived another ATNR Akl night ride unscathed. No rain, no bins

, no Mr. Plod

. Sneaked a beeline for the Tavern - cheers Jonny you sniffed out the pub like a rabid bloodhound!

Mark up to his usual shinanigans - I'm sure MyNameIs will remember to thank you later - and I noticed you flung past me on the way home at $%#@ speed.

Cheers to BigDave for the heads up on the Bike reviews - who needs magazines

good to see atleast SOME of a turn out last night..... the rain held out till we reached the pub then it spat for about 5 mins then stopped......only saw one cop when we were at west gate scooping us out from behind the steering wheel of his under cover car......it was good to get out for a ride and streach those legs even if it was just a quick squirt threw riverhead......mark seemed to behave himself and kept to the speed limit and under it.....

thanks to the guys who turned up for the ride and the fellas who came to the pub

**McJim** · 15th September 2006, 13:31

So apart from Black Bandit and Johnny Rotten who turned up?

We had a great run out south organised by The_Dover - no rain at all.

Twisty, turny, dark....all fun.

YOU may wanna think twice or else your online persona may not be so witty any longer??

A lot of KBers have met WINJA. I can tell you that his persona in real life is exactly the same as on KB. A top bloke who hates all of my bikes except for the Magic.

I turned up... had a bit of fun practising on the way there... cops gave up pritty quick when they saw there wasn't many bikes... and the roads werer dry as a bone on the way there and back... I didn't even know it drizzled while we had stopped....
