A Ditch work friday arvo ride in Welly

[Insanity_rules]

I was thinking of ditching work this afternoon (28th April) for a ride to the top of the Tukkas. Any Wellington takers? If so meeting at Mobil Silverstream at 2pm. Cruisy pace.

If this flys I might run one once a month on a Friday. Anyone interested in this with a bit more notice?

[Str8 Jacket]

Aargh!! Would love too, but Friday is my busiest day at work meeting-wise. I hope that the weathers good for you! Ride safe and have fun...

[Uncle B]

A good thought but count me out as I'm in the same boat as Str8 Jacket.

[Bend-it]

Where's the mobil at silverstream?? Sounds good though!

Will have to see what kind of day it turns out to be... Never know at my work... Update about 1pm...

[Wasp]

Well the chief just said no, but if parts dont arrive i reckon i might get off.

also he says its s'possed to turn to shit this arvo

p.s. cheers for not turning up to my ride last night, i had great fun with one of the trtnr guys then him n me had dinner at q'gate then met the others at the pub.

If you come up the motorway, take the first turn off to Upper Hutt over the Silverstream bridge and go straight ahead, you can't miss it.

I should work for you insanity, that way you can pay me to ride with you :D

edit: saw a bike on its stand on the side of the road at melling this morning, a red something with all the right side fairing cracked and scratched pretty bad, looked for the biker and couldnt see him so i hope he/she is allright, continued on to work waving to madboy going the other way.

Sorry for not turning up to your ride dude. but found out too late. Do ya need a hug? :rofl: If the weather really turns on us (bad) I might call it and adjourn to McD's, but if its just spitting I'll still go.

Yeah I saw that too. A red sport tourer and two white cars parked up before melling bridge. On a side note I thought of starting a quick response IT team with company bikes, kinda like geeks on wheels but aimed at the corp/ ME market.

Only a thought but imagine how quick even in town that you could respond to a crisis.

[Wasp]

Ok its a deal but you have to buy me a company bike :D

I'm thinking something like a Hornet or a zx7-r or something :D or mabye a 1200 bandit :D:D

[Str8 Jacket]

IF (big if) the weather is OK, id definately be keen for a ride tomoro. Maybe to Castle Point or something?... I'll txt you tomoro Tristan. I really doubt that the weather will be any good though...

[cowpoos]

weathers moving in in the rapa...and it look like wet is on the way over here...and its gone bloody cold in the last hour...so good luck too ya...I'ld take ya rain coat and gumbooties if ya do...

[Wasp]

A weekend ride sounds good, im thinking kinda like the newbie ride but just us more experienced newbies... i.e. phoenix, me, insanity, bend-it, str8, rg100 etc etc

So the question is where to.

[Sketchy_Racer]

yeah and Ivan got a warrent on his RGV150 so he can ride too

[Str8 Jacket]

We shall see... I need to go past as many servos as poss to pump up my tyre (if need be) The problem doesnt seem to be as bad now, but im itching for a ride. It will have to be over Piecock or the Tukas to make it interesting. Oh yeah food will have to be involved somewhere along the way too!

low cloud over them....not raining yet though

I'd be keen for a weekend ride but I warn you I've only been riding or a week so I'm real slow.

I've got a compressor that runs off a car/bike battery, fits in a backpack and can be used to pump up tires whenever needed.

Well, we all had to start somewhere... The only way you'll get better (or faster if you will) is just getting out and riding. I'll happily ride with you at your pace so dont stress it...

[Sketchy_Racer]

ah who cares if its wet.... wet rides are still fun

[Str8 Jacket]

Well each to their own, but im not going if its raining. I dont find getting soaked fun and it takes way to long for my gear to dry out anyway...

[Sketchy_Racer]

fair enough. ;)

[Insanity_rules]

Ah well, looks like this original idea died but a weekend ride sounds good. Never mind.

[Wasp]

Cool a weekend ride it is, I will start a new thread...

[madboy]

Yeah sorry I couldn't make it, but someone forced me to have lunch at Shed 5 with some overpriced angus eye fillet and some Australian wine that was remarkably drinkable. Oh well, maybe next time...
