**Macstar** · 10th November 2007, 21:06

So who's keen on a ride tomorrow? Maybe early afternoon departure? I'm thinking of keeping it fairly local with West coast beaches (Piha, Bethels etc).

**EJK** · 10th November 2007, 21:45

i'm interested, chuck me a txt later today

now in the meantime, do i ride my dirtbike, or cut down that pine tree? both need to be done, both can take all day, i'd rather ride all day, my brother/neighbours are here to ride with me today, but if i postpone riding until the week then the neighbours aren't going to complain as much

ride your bike repeatedly into the tree in hopes that it topples!! why choose one when you can do both

TIIIIIIIIMMMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers for a good ride today Motobyclist, Klingon & Ewen (can't remember your KB name). After all my bitching and moaning about NZ, all you need is a sunny day like today and a ride with a bunch of mates and suddenly everything is all good again!

You can't beat those roads out West

I was gutted I missed your ride, i logged of KB about 10mins before you posted it,

Oh well, I hooked up with another KBer on a 250 Bandit and headed up to WW and went through woodcocks/westcoast road and then back to Puhoi.

It was strange Auckland city was nice and sunny but at the petrol station in TItirangi the lady was saying it was pissing down and sure enough there was the occasional shower and cool breeze. But that did not stop us all from riding to Piha.....lovely roads.... cheers for the ride Macstar

Good, mobile phones do work. Footage was all legal, just value privacy...

Haha Great ride today.

Thanks for taking my bike for a spin. Like I said, since my bike got hit, it hasn't been the same and that goes for my confidence level also.

Btw, I actually test rode the 2003/04 SV1000 today. Manage to get him down near 7000 bucks. Cosmetically, it's not mint but it's Good. If it had a little less mileage and a bit minter I would've picked her up straight away.

I have to say, the clutch is hydraulic I believe (somebody correct me here) and there's hardly any free play so it took quite a bit to get use to.

Anyway, I gotta get you, Kim or Stephen to check it out when you're free!
