My usual mates I ride with, were all busy or waiting for another motorbike.

With the weather forecast looking gloomy after Saturday afternnoon and for the rest of the weekend, I went for a fast blat out Clevedon, Kaiuau, to Mangatangi and back the same way.

No bikes heading north but as I was heading North from 12.30 to 1.30, I saw heaps of bikes heading South.

Anyone from here?

Roads were really dry except for a shower on the way back through Kawakawa bay.

Man, I love those roads and thoroughly enjoyed my ride but it's always so much more fun with a few other bikers aye? :)

What's the accepted signal for someone to stop on KB so you can get to ride with them, no matter what direction you are heading. I don't mind turning around again and going the same way to ride with a bunch of guys. Much better than riding alone I reckon.

But, no good if they aren't from KB and you do a U turn to follow them and they can't give a toss. Does happen, but I've met some good friends by just catching up and riding with them.

check to see if there was any rides organised on the "Meetings and Events" section.

Just do a U-turn and ride along with them... most groups don't mind a rider joining up to their group...


I have joined up onto the back of a few rides and when they turn off or I turn off we wave to each other. Gives you a bit of security when out riding at times when you meet up with a group.
