    Tues Ride 26 Feb

    Hey ppl

    After not getting a chance last weekend to ride and since I'm going away on business this week, who'd like to join me for a ride after work on Tues?

    Details:

    Rain: Probably won't go
    When: 6.30pm @ Uni gym Symonds St
    Ride plan: 2-3 hrs Maybe head up north and cut across Woodcocks Rd to Warkworth and then double back.
    Pace/level: Ideally an advanced ride, HOWEVER if a few learners are keen then we will make sure that it is a learner-friendly/safe ride.
    Bike & Gear: Pls make sure your bike is up to scratch i.e. tyres, brakes, chain etc and that you are wearing appropriate open-road riding gear

    Post your interest if ya want and I'll try and sneak a peak at KB from work tomorrow, otherwise just meet me at uni.


    Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Haven't you heard?

    He loves his CBR too much, it's got nostalgic (if you know what I mean) values

    yeap, looks like i couldn't make the ride - didn't get home from work (if you could call it that, i was riding the fxr all day putting up flyers) till 8:45... had to finish the job cause my other employer desperately needs me... if only they didn't both call at the same time!

    1. i didn't want to repaint it in the first place - now i'm going to be shit scared of scratching it... which is exactly why the old man made me fix it

    2. squiggles found yet another mint set of fairings on TM, and even if i pay $1000 for those and $275 for that tank at atomic, it'd still be cheaper than the current painting mission. counting lost earnings i'm about $2500 poorer for not just paying uncle to have it done before xmas. plus i found this site

    and currently the fixxer needs me to tighten the chain... it was always going, just i want to keep it that way

    Like we were talking at Nish's B'day party, just get some professional to do it.

    Most of the time it just works out cheaper and plus, you could've been working and making cash instead of slaving around...

    Oh that site, it's pretty good but it's exactly that same sort stuff from ebay Hong Kong, I'd be surprised if it isn't.

    Good Luck bro..

    I dunno, these ppl with crashed bikes...

    Ride was good by the way. Hooked up with Raj and Craig for a burn up 16 and over to Warkworth. I nearly ran over a free range chicken 3kms out of Warkworth!! I would have strapped the chicken to the handlebars of my bike for dinner (hunted deer style), if I did hit it that is...

    Rode through some lime sludge stuff during roadworks for about 1km which then dried to my bike and went everywhere. I had to pull into Washworld at 9pm last night and waterblast her down - but some of that shit is still on my bike.

    Here's hoping the weather is good this weekend for some more riding!
