Right people...

27th November

Meeting at Motomart 9.30am
502 Hutt Rd
Lower Hutt

Departing from Motomart 10.00am

Heading to Martinborough, then back roads to Masterton.
From there we head to Castle Point Hotel, where Motomart will put a lunch on for everyone on the ride. (Drinks are up to you)
We head back to our homes after we're all done there.

This will not be a race! Faster riders will be at the front, med speed in the middle and people who just want to enjoy the ride at the back.
The Motomart Utes will be at back of the ride. BUT WE DONT WANT TO USE THEM!!!

Everyone welcome!
Weather permitting.

Basically its a chance for us at Motomart to thank everyone for their support this year.

See you all there!:blip:

But I myself is fairly keen to have a look at the sprints.

21st November 2005, 20:48

allright im a comming (weather's not looking too good)
Anything i should do to prepare?
contact lenses? glasses? (i'd prefere the lenses and i smashed the lid down on the glasses and put a crack in em so i dunno if they'll hold, ill wear the lenses but bring the case and spares with the glasses too)
also where should we park, in the "driveway" or along the street?

Just practice your angry motorcyclist face for all the quivering rapa locals :|.

I have been organising quivering practice for the locals.
Satisfaction guaranteed, and we may throw in the odd cringe at no extra cost.

Well the Hotel is all booked, food ordered!
If its raining, we will not be riding. Will postpone to a later date. (prob after Xmas)

I'm thinking about going but 5.30 is dam early. Is it light at that time? I think 6.30 might be more civilised. All depends on the weather if its fine it would be a pleasant ride.

cowboyz

23rd November 2005, 17:19

sure its light at 530am. Its not that early!! Hey, I can go an hour later if it means I have someone to ride down with. I dont mind. I dont know lower hutt at all so was going to leave some time to find things. And I might get lost, and I might get delibrately lost.

um just a quick thought. are there (m)any other L-plate riders comming on this? should i stick at the back doing 70? someone want to ride with me? should i take the L-plate off and/or do 100?

also if someone could "babysit" me that'd be good too because this is my first trip anywhere by myself (havnt even gone into welly yet)

Mate.
What ever you choose, you'll be fine.
The day is going to be pretty lax, just come down have a chat to a few people, We are pretty easy to talk to(except Motoxxx, Hes a FREAK!:blink: ),
If you are happy to do 100, then do 100. There are a huge range of bikers looking at coming. From GP racers to people who just love being on a bike.

Its gonna be a fun day.

Hey Wasp, I'm definately considering doing this ride and I'm an L-plater. Wont be wearing my plate tho and will basically be testing my limits. Only been riding for over a month so it would be good for some company

All good guys.
The Motomart Ute will be following us.
But we dont want to use it!!
THAT GOES TO EVERYONE!!!!
So ride within your limits, and have a fun ride.

Seems like there should be a good turn out.

I'm not interested about riding in wet and windy conditions either. Hopefully the conditions will be better next weekend as theres rides/barbeques on both saturday and sunday.

Wasp

26th November 2005, 21:49

weather is weird here at the moment, its been showers and really nice warm fine spells all day...... (had the bike apart on the path outside, sometimes madly scrambling to put it back together (gotta buy my a bike cover and a tarp))

i'll probably turn up and make my decision there.... (unless its pissing down in which case i will stay in bed.....)

27th November 2005, 08:09

I need to make a decision NOW about whether to go or not, has just started raining here in Tawa. Can anyone from Hutt/Wairarapa tell me what the weather is like around there? And/or if this ride or the Sprints is still likely to be on?

Sparky Bills

27th November 2005, 20:54

Well after all that, It was a FANTASTIC ride!!!
Thanks to everyone who came along. Was great to get out on a decent ride again.

All up, i think the ride took 7hours from when i left, to when i got home.
Loved every second of it!

cowboyz

27th November 2005, 21:13

Pleased someone had a good day anyway.
