ATNR Akl Thurs NIGHT RIDE & Drinks 1st June @ 6.30pm

[Qkchk]

:cold: So it's official.......... this Thursdays' night ride will be the first ride of the winter season! (Is that good?:crybaby: ) Just a couple of things to point out this week......

1. So we have had physical proof that the boys in blue are out there :Police:(both Speed Cameras and roving patrols) so we better be careful and think twice about what speed you travel at.

2. Please listen to the directions at the briefing, (even the regular riders!!;)) we lost half our group at the first turn-off last week. If we can stay as a group, I dont get to freakout wondering where everyone is. Lets use the second-man system and stick to it.

3. In the close future, I will not be able to take rides on Thursday so I need to hear what people think about alternate days. Who would perfer a Weds and who would find Friday night better? Vote on the Poll


What: A ride up north in da dark finishing with a cold one
When: Thursday night after work on the first day of winter :cold:
Where: Shell WESTGATE (end of the North Western Motorway)
Why: To get your fix for the mid-week blues
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)

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 Speights Ale House (Oteha Valley Road, Albany) afterwards. So if you can't make the ride, try and make the pub and meet fellow Kbers! The food is fine and a huge variety of beers to choose from. We are there from 8pm onwards.

The route will be discussed on the night. For those worried about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr - 1half and is 70kms long. We start at Westgate and finish up at Albany.


- 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...)


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.

Disclaimer: You participate on this ride at your own risk. I will not be held accountable for anyones actions, to/from and during the ride.. Anyone who is caught endangering others by their actions will be asked to leave the ride and may be refused entry to forthcoming rides! (As we have had seen in the past) I will not be responsible for people ending up at Wellsford due to not listening to instructions nor the pointer system failing.......... ;):nya:

[Back Fire]

Fridays are for pissin rice off in town... so I vote Wednesday :rockon:

Well we both know how much time these little bugger take up! It's only a poll to see what people think - if I do end up doin 'Agility' training (as seen on wonderdogs) with the new pup it wont be for at least another couple months. The regulars will have first say if there is any changes ........:yawn:

[Qkchk]

BTW here's the reason for the training...........

This is Gixer, a 9 week old Labrador bitch. (Not the kitchen bitch....)

Hmm.. I'll try and make it.. not sure about opening it up tho.. i'm still running it in :)

[SwanTiger]

Hmm.. I'll try and make it.. not sure about opening it up tho.. i'm still running it in :)

I presume you are running it in by keeping under 7,000 RPM?

If so, you should be able to do 100kmp/h which is fast enough to keep up in a general perspective. Apparently Markauckland will be there, so you might even get to overtake somebody :shutup:

[Indiana_Jones]

So what day is it?

[skidMark]

the poor boy is so lost he doesn't even know what day it is today

how can you work on navy 24 hour clock if you don't even know what day it is (pisstake)

Another good ride, managed to get my knee down on the road this time !!!!!!
not that i was trying at the time.
had a crooker at the secound round about leading on to the motorway after leaving the ale house, Cold tyres and to much lean!!! :Oops::nono:
no the best recipe. ill be back again next week and do it the right way.

[skidMark]

oh shit mate i wondered where you had got to..... i figured you had turned off to take a different route home...

glad to see you are ok

geez now i feel bad i never thought you might have fallen off....

[Zed]

Another enjoyable & successful TNR! A tad cooler 2nite but nothing to worry about except the odd fogged visor. Good to see a large turnout and great that we all went the same route this time and were only 5 mins between the lead bikes and TEC. Had a good time at the Alehouse and finally got to meet Indiana Jones!!!

See ya's next week! :yes:

[skidMark]

i nearly binned myself coming round the last roundabout onto the motorway..... it started to go round then the front started to slide (because the tyres were stone cold) then it suddenly got traction again did a quick right to left kick of the bars and tried to throw me off....luckily i stayed on the mungral......

i spyed with my little eye after i got off the motorway a little birdy following me making chop chop chop noises....

was quite irritating so i rode very slow and carefully hoping it would stop being scared and leave me alone......

the birdie eventually was happy and left me be :doobey:

[Buddy L]

Nar you were long gone, you left and i stoped to put my rear seat back on the bike, wasn"t on properly. as you now had to take them off so you could get that jump start again, good that you brought your leads again. might need a tow rope for next week. people were getting tried of pushing your bike.:scooter:
see you next week

[skidMark]

yeah the bloodey clutch stop engaging properly again i have no idea why...will sort it out tommorrow.....

and going to buy a new battery....
