TRTNR - 13/10

[Deano]

Meet at bottom of the Maungaraki hill between 6 and 6.30, then off for a quick scoot.

The weather can't get any worse than last week, although the forecast is apparently 'cheesy'.

Looks like a few people are heading to the movies for TWFI afterwards. Otherwise it will be to Breakers for a drink and some pool.

See you there.

[Hitcher]

I'm absent until November. Will be packing-up ready for the Grand Challenge this weekend, followed by a couple of weeks touring up north. I'll see y'awl on Thursday 3 November.

[skelstar]

Anyone going to 'slow scoot'? Jim?

[DemonWolf]

Where ya touring Hitcher? If ya in the Naki area, stop on by if ya want =)

[madboy]

Well after my first 170k slide, on the way to work this morning, I'm all psyched to go watch some people much better than me do that sorta stuff... if I can just get home without a repeat...

[madboy]

Anyone going to 'slow scoot'? Jim?Tag along with the crowd, no one minds waiting. We had an FXR150 join in last year, and that didn't hold us up, nor did my FZR400. :wait:

[James Deuce]

There'll still be a slow scoot. ;)

Woo really? You keep the rubber side down or did you bin?
Yeah, Ill try and keep up if others dont mind.

Woo really? You keep the rubber side down or did you bin?
Yeah, Ill try and keep up if others dont mind.completely over-hyped really. took a corner coming up the gorge at 170 accelerating and midway through there was a nice big patch of water draining across the road (like WTF??). by the time i'd even seen this the back was sliding but by the time i'd figured out it was sliding i'd hit dry road again and the back was following again. one of those split second things. so i can't claim any credits for heroic action to avoid a bin, since there was completely NO action taken on my part. the winner on the day was Metzler M1s :love:

still put the fear of god into me though! :sweatdrop

The gorge (Ngauranga?) has had a busy 24 hours it seems :).

[Skunk]

Skels - what you on about? Few people been binning it up there lately?

edit: Okay, I read CSLs post, I feel like a cock now - I think I blew past her yesterday morning not recognising her thinking she'd just run outta gas.

yeha. ride tomorrow. boganville tip race be goodscanners at home, but i'm just leaving work so if I see the cop would you like me to pass a message on from an unnamed guy?

[mikey]

the unnameable guys bike isnt very warratable, didnt want to filter past cop as cop would see no indicators mirrors etc etc, so he pulls back onto cyclist lane, waits 20 seconds, gets back in the filter spot, takes 20 seconds to get to his massive top speed of 150 an goes past with his PLATE ON. what aa dumb mo fucker eh.

yeh, an he lives in a dodgy area where cops are down daily sorting out the riff raff but one was parked outside his house, so he goes ab hides at his mates an wishes he has a scanner.

a cool cunt.

oh yeh, say HI, shame your an overweight tax man (highway patrol) an you had no chance...,hahahah FUCK THE MAN!
no thats a bit gay

[the yoshie]

Deano I'll be there around 6:20pm see ya there if the sun is out.

[madboy]

Mikey - this is what i can't understand about your mate... he goes to the extreme lengths of removing mirrors and indicators to save weight and improve aerodynamics, but still leaves a bit of metal attached to the back of the bike that serves no performance enhancing purpose whatsoever... i dunno...

i think his bikes had a hard life,
someone should give him a repsol blade!

yesterday i caught up with mathu o nthe way home, he wasnt nannering,

when ever i see a bike in front of me splitting i get the "ive got a small cock an ride a 250 an have lots to prove" syndrome an have to catch it. most pull over an let me go but id be keen for a cane behind a "real MADCUNT

[madboy]

Mathu ain't no pussy when he decides to roll it on. Remember getting slapped senseless by him on the way to work one day when I had the FZR. We'd been having a bit of a play on the open bits, then got caught in traffic. I was splitting at a fair hike above usual splitting pace (so not hanging around), and was prob spending $1.60 when I went to pull left around a car, checked the mirror as I was just about to move and this friggin nekkid MV does this awesome fly-by... $2 easy... in rush hour traffic. If only I'd had the 636, woulda bought into that fight ;)

[Velox]

Drizzling in Karori at the mo - what's the rest of Wgtn like?
Don't want a repeat of last week.

[skelstar]

Harbour is clear, as is the Valley. Weather moving north via Tawa direction.
I work up on the hill above Gracefield so I have a 'comprehensive' view :).

[James Deuce]

Just starting to drizzle in Te Aro.

I'm going home I reckon.

[Velox]

Cheers lads. The annoying thing about Karori - esp south Karori is that when it is drizzling here, quite often it's fine in town. If anyone's in town/Hutt around 5:45 could they post a quick weather report on here? :sunny:

Hey

:argh: Its starting to look omionus at Gracefield.

c'mon :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

[skelstar]

I think its going to be ok at this rate. Its still sunny and dry in Gracefield and the clouds dont seem to be getting heavier. I cant see south-east though...maybe where L.Hutts weather is coming from.

[Bartman10]

The weather is looking quite good now :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

See ya's all there.

[skelstar]

Hmmmm might have Subway for dinner tonight...Jim, you reconsidering?

[James Deuce]

No I'm going home. William won a Pizza from Kiwi Pizzas at school today and I have to go home and eat it. I mean celebrate his excellent achievement that enabled him to be in a position to have his excellence recognised.

[madboy]

Jville is clear, and I'll see what the Hutt's like in a minute. Barring extreme weather (read: last week) I'll be there.

[madboy]

Well if you haven't left yet... weather is a bit windy but otherwise fine. See yous fellas there.

[Bartman10]

A few trouser staining moments involving sheep and gravel...

Not a bad ride though...

See yas next week.

[skelstar]

Yeah, thanks BM10 for coming back and warning us.
Still not a fan of the road but was good to follow P-Pete out there.
Good night though...
