Wgtn - The Real Thursday Night Ride (TRTNR)

**madboy** · 24th January 2006, 12:49

Every Thursday evening during daylight savings (weather permitting).

When: 6pm. Ride leaves at 6.30pm SHARP
Where: The avalon duckpond just over the kennedy-good bridge off SH2 in Lower Hutt.
Route: To be determined on the day (usually 1-2 hours MAX incl shit-talking)
Destination: To be decided on the day
Pace: All paces welcome. The fast guys will wait and route details and meet points are usually determined before we set out. Please note that most routes will involve open road riding at some point (100km/h is the speed limit!).

Please also note that this ride is a gathering of like minded individuals who believe strongly in personal responsibility. I'm posting meet details for your information only.

It is your responsibility to ensure that both you and your bike are up to it. We don't care what license you have or what stickers are attached to your bike. What we care about is that you have enough common sense and skill to respect our safety and yours.

Newbies - read the above two paragraphs REALLY closely. This is not a full-on "briefing at the start, designated riding order, buddy up the newbies, split into groups" ride. We meet up, talk some shit, decide where we're going, ride there, talk some shit, ride back. Nothing formal at all. You're welcome to come. We're a friendly bunch, we're glad to pass on any help we can and we don't bite (unless you're hot, female and ask nicely). But we ask that you be CAREFUL. I don't try and keep up with the fast guys, you shouldn't either!

This thread is intended as a sticky, and subsequent posts will be deleted periodically to keep this current.

Wank over, ride on.

Good effort to the crew last night... Hope the guy on the Hardley could keep his lesbo fantasies in check long enough to get home.

Well I did ask Mr Frosty to stick it, but it doesn't seem to have happened yet. Perhaps I might need to rephrase my request.

Just got back.

Fantastic ride over the Takas and back. What was with that cop that came flying up the hill? Did he stop in Featherston?

How was PieCock?

Great ride tonight, i'm still grinning

.

I got my foot down again comming back down the takas (happening more frequently now) and got some lift of the front tire out of some roundabouts!

I asked about the cop at the pub, apparently he came flying down the hill behind one of us, Madboy? i think, so whoever the biker was pulled up but the cop just went past... well thats what i remember being told anyway, some of its probably wrong.

I got to Featherston and had turned around and was heading back up the hill, the cop passed me (coming down the hill) and he was following the dude on the blue VTR.

Thinking about it...it was obvious that he wasn't coming after us...he wouldn't have had his disco lights on all the way up the hill if he was.
