Akl Thurs Night Ride & Drinks 27th April @ 6.30 **MEETING POINT CHANGED**

[Qkchk]

What: A ride up north in da dark finishing with a cold one :drinkup:
When: Thursday night after work on the 27th April
Where: Meeting @ MOBIL LINCOLN ROAD Corner of Lincoln and Central Park Drive in Henderson - See attached map for directions
Why: Because there is more to motorcycling than just talking about it and its a good way to test your headlight!
Time: Meeting there from 6.30pm departing @ 7pm
Pace: Open to all (As long as you can ride at least 100kph - not to say that we ride that speed all the time in the dark)
Qkchk will even have her new baby on the ride........................

We will be doin that road as mentioned on the last weeks ride (it's a little jem...) but will be finishing up at the Speights Ale House cause the Albany pub cant be bothered to keep the kitchen open til 8pm for us.:nono: Their loss.

- Remember I dont want to see anyone turn up with a tinted/irridium visor on! Any chance to lessen the risks we take in our riding the better! (If you dont have a clear visor, may I suggest buying/borrowing a pair of clear saftey glasses and keep ya tint visor up....)

- Darkness = Slower speeds (self explained...)

- I'm doin the rides not for so much the riding itself (very limited with time and what you can do with it) but the social get-together at the Albany pub afterwards. So if you can't make the ride, try and make the pub and meet fellow Kbers! The route will be discussed on the night. For those worried about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr and is 70kms long. We start at Lincoln Rd and finish up at Albany.

Remember this ride is WEATHER PERMITTING - I will post up in the thread if it is postponed due to weather. I will decide on the day and post after 5pm.

My bike isnt so Custard as his, seems to be a bit pale next to the Gixxer. So the biarch from up Norfland thought he would be a funny fella and call it a Lemon Tart. Hey at least my bike isnt related to the ZX14 whale! (Now to wait for Quasi disapproval)

[Phenoix]

I hope to make it to this one.
The bikes busy getting paint, have got all the fairings off at the mo, and sanded most of them.
A fire place sounds great tho :D

[Phenoix]

Wish I could make it, but the weathers been shit, so havent got the bike painted, and since I decided to give it a service at the same time, I cant even go road warrior :(
Well enjoy the rain all.
Would have loved to see the new tart tho :P
What do they look like side by side ?

[SwanTiger]

I'll be there if I can leave in time and find this new meeting point.

I spent the afternoon doing "maintenance" on the bike, think I've solved my "issues" with the bike dying in mid range.

Looking forward to proving myself right, otherwise its back to the bikeshop :(

[SwanTiger]

A wonderful ride in torrential rain on the way home :D

Good to see your new bike QKCHK, it has the girliest seat I've ever seen.

Very nice front.

[Phenoix]

Glad I missed it then.
I wouldnt have wanted to get the bike dirty again,
One dmuddy ditch is enough :wait:

[vixter]

[justsomeguy]

Right - you and your fancy paint jobs. Just don't let the flatmate ride it again.

PM me when it's done or if you need a hand with some sanding or anything.

Do you think after the ZXR we are all professional sanders now??:bye:

-----------------

So who all turned up for the ride in the end??

[SwanTiger]

shit sorry we missed it but mind you the new gsxr 750 wud of shown u up a little

Please oh god please don't tell me someone sold you a motorcycle !! :gob:

[Phenoix]

I was smart.
I got my mates to sand it, ie the same ones that crashed it.

[Qkchk]

Well it was only a mater of time till we got some rain..............

Not bad considering we have had such a good run of weather since October for the Thurs night ride. It was only a matter of time till the weather played up.

Green Bling going to SPB and Swanny for having the balls to show up, even tho we had to send them home. Talk about 'pissin down!'.

See you guys next Thursday.................
