With the success of the previous newbie ride, Limmy and myself were thinking of another one.

Date: Sunday April 3rd 2005
Time: 3:00
Meet: Shell Westgate. Come up SH16 (from city) turn left and Shell will be on your left approx. 500m down the road.
Route: Old North Road up north...... and wherever it takes us.... :niceone:


This will be another slowish ride at "road legal speeds". Big bikes and fast guys are more than welcome, as long as they know it will be slow.

Please post your interest here....!

Just incase people get lost, here is my number to all those that are coming. 021-899101.

On the last ride we had, there were quite a few guys with L plates and we were all doing 100km/hr. :whistle: ... common, I doubt you actually stick to the 70km/hr limit! hehehe :whistle: :whistle:

If the guys on the day want to go up there, we will probably head up to Wellsford. :2thumbsup

Myself and Limmy can't make it any earlier than 3:00, thats why we are organising it at 3:00. However, you are more than welcome to meet us at 3:00 if you wish. :niceone:

Mate they will wait for you... and on the windy roads they wont be going motorway speeds.... well I never do and they always wait for me...

The slow ride is more suitable for the learner riders... or new to riding.
The speed aint that fast.
If any of the faster riders come along.... they usually pass you and wait up the road at every intersection etc.

I'll show you howto write off your bike at 25kmph :D without hitting anything its a classy act.

Anyways, sorry I cant come see you guys, I probably would have being a pain anyways always burning off and not stopping :ride: I get to excited and as soon as I start breaking speed limits, I start breaking laws of physics.

AND on top of that, my bikes starting to die, needs some love - so next time :cool:

Why such an odd time at 3pm? Would love to come for a ride with you guys as I am new to this forum, but not new to riding. 3pm may not be a good time for me. Maybe passenger my girlfriend with me so I will keep the speed limit and not get a ticket. Hey bugjuice, you going for this ride?

I wasn't expecting such a turn out. Originally it was just going to be myself and Limmy. LImmy can only make it at 3:00..... :whistle:

So pretty much, we are going to meet at 3 at Westgate Shell. Then up OLD NORTH ROAD :2thumbsup :2thumbsup :2thumbsup

I'm going to try to make it, yup.. But I can't say 100% that I'll be there.. Sometimes it's nice to have a cruise instead of full frontal, but then again, if you need the fix in the right spot (guilty..), then just wind 'er up, and wait at the end a few mins..

Man, that hurt you really know howto kick a man when hes down :killingme

But seriously. I think that that old lady put biker traps down - or maybe the ZXR is to much of a bike for me LMAO.

For those that can make it, we are meeting at Shell at Westgate at 3:00pm. If there is anything give me a call / text on 021-899101.

I'm really smart and have got all my work done, so I will be there on bike buggering duties :banana:

El Dopa
3rd April 2005, 14:42
Would love to have made it, but the bike is still buggered from the last one of these rides last week.

Still, given my luck at the last two of these, I'd be:

1) Abducted by aliens
2) Attacked by pirates
3) Hit by a meteor
4) some combination of the above.

Y'all have fun now

Twas good to see you on single wheel duties yet agan :niceone:

I slept in and missed the morning ride (woke up at 1035) but managed to pull it together for the arvo one.

Thanks to Feint for the ride, it was just what the doctor ordered - a nice cruisy ride on a sunny arvo. Rather sobering to see the crash - didnt look pretty. (was right at the end of peak road, just out of kaukapakapa. The fireman manning the roadblock reported a collision between bike(s?) and truck with apparently fatal results. Really took the shine off the day.

Was great to ride behind the RGV dude (sorry bro, I'm not good at names) on the way home and smell the sweet exhaust - many memories were brought back. :rockon:

It was a great cruise, nice and legit! Thanks guys for turning up. Here are a couple of photos of the cruise! It was nice to meet a few more people.

Sad to see that a biker went down on the road leading to Kaukapakapa.

A big thanks to Speedmedic for calling and checking on us.. making sure none of us went down.

A great cruise and look forward to one in the future!
