:ride: Oi !!!!!!!

Where are all the 250 riders? This section of the board is really quiet... just as quiet as the biker angels section...

Maybe we should organise a 250 ride... and have MOSTLY 250's (of-course anyone else is welcome)...

Any ideas or comments?

I've got 4.4 250's but they share the same gearbox etc so I guess I'm disqualified?

when i first became a KB'er i organised a ride for 250's in the hope of meeting some other people of a similar aged ppl with bikes. Ended up with bout 12-15 bikes, in all 3 were 250's. Was a good day and i learnt that people dont have to be the same age to get along with you.

should be along tomorrow if i dont get too wasted tonight :drinkup:

See you tomorrow:ride:

Hey justsomeguy... Sorry I couldn't catch up with you all yesterday at the ride... unfortunatly my partner, Sam (on the FXR) had an accident on K Road on Saturday around lunchtime.... Some cager decided to ruin our weekend and attepmt to drive over my partner at a give way...

Sam is ok, a little brusing on her ankle and a nice limp to go with it, but other than that she is... Just as well she was wearing all gear. Not sure how the bike is yet, when she had the accident I was riding through rain and hail on the Northern Motorway, only found out when I got home, so the bikes at Red Baron... will find out how much that will cost fix today :(

I saw the pic's of the ride yesterday, looks like you all had fun :)

*still looking forward to my first group ride*

Sams doing good.

We're both bummed out that we couldn't make the ride... Sam said I could still go on my own, but I felt bad knowing she wanted to go on the ride just as much as I did... So I opted to stay home and cheer her up... after all there will always be more rides :)

Hope Sams ok, wrote a car off on K,rd, kinda lucky caus I wouldnt be here if I was on my bike. Its odd how "sorry I didnt see you" means less with each telling.
Now if thay cant see a car...

Really sorry to hear about what happened to Sam, yes you did miss a great ride, but as you say there will be more, look forward to seeing you both at the next one.

I wish that ACC for once would have a useful ad campaign. An "I didn't see you campaign"

With some nice footage of trucks that didn't see cars ramming them off bridges, oil tankers running into smaller boats, and finally a car hitting a motorcyclist or cyclist. And a "How about using your damn eyes for a change" at the end. I didn't see isn't an excuse, it's along the lines of "I don't know" as the response to why you killed someone.

Oh NO!! Sorry to hear that girl...... how she recovers soon.....Hope the bike is written off -since it's the cage's fault - it shouldn't affect your no claims discount and it will be easier than the hassle of finding a buyer for it.:whistle:

So who you dealing with at Red Barons?? Go talk to the guys upstairs for any parts/gear if you need them and ask them for a discount...... don't take any shit from Tony either:devil2: ......tell him if he isn't careful Sam will kick his arse(once her foot recovers :laugh:)

There are rides pretty much every weekend depending on the weather.

So it wont be long before we can go on a group ride together:ride:

See you around :niceone:

thank you :)

I don't think the bike is a write off... Still havn't heard back from Red Baron with a quote, but they said it was just cosmetic damage... so nothing huge (except maybe the bill).

All the guys at Red Baron know me... Mike in the workshop is my favourite... he knows my voice before I even say my name when I call him... I always ask him stupid questions like... "I don't have a fuel gauge on my bike... can I have one installed?" and he replies with "yes you do... look in the tank and or judge by your km's" lol

When Sam took the bike there on Saturday after the accident they were all like "have you told Tammy yet? Does she know? She's gonna be mad at you!" lol

they're all a good bunch... they always give me a discount :)

*loves Red Baron*

If you find said bike for a decent price could you try finding me a woman with good looks, high libido and an unnatural love of cooking and cleaning?

Yeah... after the amount of 250's at the Sunday ride I think thats a great idea! Scenic drive in my olde westieland would be good :devil2:

placidfemme
12th July 2005, 08:09
I think a ride with just 250's would be good... but I don't know if we'd be as organised as we need to be...

*might get left behind lol*

haye guys.

i gotta say that as one of the founding members of club 250 down here in welly that 250 rides are really good for a number of reasons:

building confidence - good for learners
building experience - we can ALL use that
learning about your bike
" " other peoples bikes
meeting new people
getting to know uncommon roads
adjusting to surface conditions
riding in groups is safer
and i could go on ( as if i havent allready)

but i ask that as many people go as possible.
if anyone in welly is up for it how about a random date and we'll go from there.

but for you jaffas i say go for it and drag your mates aLONG it aint stupid its bloody fun (welly ones were anyway)
and remember bike is desinged to stay on two wheels so NO SHOWING OFF!!

let us know how it goes aye?
C yas on the road
