ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Chocky]

hehehe fat(boy) chance

[OutForADuck]

I'll be along.... no unexpected in sight at the moment.

[Cr1MiNaL]

The girlfriend and I are out on our bikes down the same route tonight. If you come up to an R1 following an FXR 150 on your way, be courteous pls, I won't care much for a race ... tonight :D Have fun!

[Chocky]

there is a load of dodgy looking shyt over gleneden heading n/w..... not raining but might put a shower down. but then it's hard to tell if it'll get to where we'r going to be

[tide]

rain radar looks pretty clean... will be at the pub... :)

[OutForADuck]

Was fine and a fun ride for those of us that attended. Steady pace , no big races or silly stuff and a cruiser along for the ride which was being ridden quick enough:innocent:

A number of the usual showed up aye Rob!!!

[Chocky]

it wasn't till I read ducky's comment (above) that I realized why it was such a good ride tonight...
There was a total lack of idiot-type riding....
I havn't been on the ride for 16-18 months and the difference was impressive
It may be a one-off.... but I hope not :innocent:

[Buddy L]

I haven't had a bike in a road legal condition to attent this ride in about two years, so ill see every one there.

[Cheshire Cat]

so whos in this week(11/3)?

[OutForADuck]

I've been ummming and Arghhhing wether to pull the bike apart ready to paint this weekend or hold off until Thursday.... Bugger it... I'll be there.

[Devil]

I'll come along again one day. Been way to busy.
Superbike school this Thurs and Fri so not available!

[gtr boy]

might see you there greg.............

[diggyduo]

I've been ummming and Arghhhing wether to pull the bike apart ready to paint this weekend or hold off until Thursday.... Bugger it... I'll be there.

Ahh, the joy of hindsight....
Stink luck with the wx though! Maybe you should wait til after Sunday and paint it next weekend....

[tide]

I'll be at the pub... :)

[Pumba]

Cant be arsed. Bike has just turned up in the shed so should be all go for next week

[OutForADuck]

Ahh, the joy of hindsight....
Stink luck with the wx though! Maybe you should wait til after Sunday and paint it next weekend....

Yeah I have decided to wait until Easter.. more time less people around.. less chance of missing a good ride:yes:

[OutForADuck]

Noticed you weren't there!!! I was .. but in the car... as were all of us that showed I must say.

[diggyduo]

If it's any consolation, I headed out a bit earlier to check out some new routes and managed to enjoy the worst of the rain before i called it quits. I think i am jinxed....same thing happened on sat morning!

[Hinny]

So it's your fault eh?

[diggyduo]

Certainly felt like it. I redeemed myself this morning though :sunny: ! (once my leathers finally dried back out...)

[gunnyrob]

Hi Boys & Girls, have been busy with Ramon's scouts lately. It seems I've been elected (dobbed/shanghaied) to be the chairman of the parents committee, so will have to attend the AGM to be held Thursday at 1830. I'll try to be at the pub, as it is likely that I will need a beer afterwards.

[OutForADuck]

I'm going to have to miss this next one unfortunately as I have a committee meeting to attend. But have fun boys and girls... oh and it has nothing to do with my new boots... honest :innocent:

[Pumba]

So we know who is not going. Who is comming out for a play tonight, got the bike back and I need a fix

[Hinny]

I'. oh and it has nothing to do with my new boots... honest :innocent:
you still surfing Trademe for an Honda? ... to go with the new boots.

[OutForADuck]

So who did make it to the ride....

[OutForADuck]

So is anyone getting out tonight?? I'll be there, infact already in my leathers and about to uncover the bike :shifty:

[gunnyrob]

I'm tied down with (not by) Scouts for probably the next 2 weeks dammit!

[SixPackBack]

I'm tied down with (not by) Scouts for probably the next 2 weeks dammit!

...........Freudian slip??

[ArcherWC]

If my bike is sorted I will be there this week for the last one before daylight savings ends

[Pumba]

Not my plan to be there this week but that might change

[Morcs]

rawr! ill try and get a ride or meet yas up the pub. will drop by the gassy on the way home probably too.

[gunnyrob]

I should be there this week after all. May be getting there around 1850-1855 depending on when the scout leaders arrive at the hall

[Ntoxcated]

Fun ride tonight. Especially loved the gravel bits around whitehills.

cheers all :)

[Qkchk]

Might be able to make this weeks one........ I guess I'll be home for once. :eek:

[Chrislost]

This week we can ride in the dark again.

Then we can say whatever BS we like about our riding and nobody can see thet we are not actually wheelieing, but crashing insted.

[Kittyhawk]

Boat engine? you arent going to turn up on a trike now are you?

[Kittyhawk]

Got a boat engine to look at but will be at the pub:drinkup:

You arent secretly making a trike are you? ewwww.

[Qkchk]

Looks like its gonna be a fine evening, whos dusting off their clear visors for a ride tonight?

[Qkchk]

Still looks like a sweet evening for a pootle in the dark, see you all @ Westgate.

[The Stranger]

Still looks like a sweet evening for a pootle in the dark, see you all @ Westgate.

So is the old boy coming out?

[Morcs]

[Devil]

[Morcs]

Had to wait around for a guy to pick some stuff up off me so running waaaay too late.

[OutForADuck]

I had a quick and simple, slightly wet ride last night... but it was fun!!! Won't be here next week. unfortunately.

[Hinny]

Couldn't make it as I had to work late; finish my work so I could go to Tahora for the Anzac Weekend rally.
As usual it was feckin brilliant.
Forkoil and I went.
Two old men riding like Nanas - Oops! where did that Tui come from.

[Qkchk]

[gunnyrob]

[Pumba]

[Qkkid]

It's not like you would have turned up anyway is it?

[Morcs]

Next week ill be back hopefully!

[Pumba]

So who will join me?

Well the answer to that question is no bastard.

Was a fun dry ride though. I did stick my head in at the pub but noone was tere and two double decker party buses had just unloaded and although the view wasnt half bad the three deep at the bar put me off hanging around

[Qkkid]

It's not like you would have turned up anyway is it?

Up yours:yes:

[gammaguy]

Wont be present tonight (even though Im actually home for once). This child of the 80's has a hot date with Spandeu Ballet and Tears for Fears tonight @ Vector Arena! Who wants to rule the world? :lol:

Me too next week... so many things so little of time ... blah blah blah... God I hope its not raining next week.

[gunnyrob]

I turned up at the pub just as the party busses were loading up. Will be at this weeks ride come hell or high water.

[Qkchk]

Well I plan on coming out for a ride provided I aint going to freeze my arse off or swim in my leathers.......

If there is bugger all turn-out I might shoot down to the AMCC instead.

[Morcs]

[Qkchk]

Ill defo be there, finally got a tyre, and a clear visor :D

And a bike that runs? :dodge:

[Morcs]

And a bike that runs? :dodge:

No worries there :D

[Qkchk]

Goddam its cold out there! Will need to wrap up something warm for Thursday.

[Hinny]

Had my day in court last Thursday - finally, after two years of hassle, expense and worry.
The ATNR nemesis (ACD868) had come to my place at 10.30 at night and said he had seen me speeding on the ATNR three weeks before and took my licence off me.
One months disqualification, 6 court appearances over two years, briefing two counsel and he doesn't bother to show on the day.
He had punished me without having to show; and without having to perjure himself.
He sent copies of some of my KB posts to show that since I had pissed him off he would make me pay.
JP told me it was my lucky day! And it probably was since it appears you have no defence when it is your word against the accuser.
By waiting three weeks instead of stopping me on the night he ensured I had no defence. Could not for instance show him my GPS log to show I had not been going at the speed he alleged. He followed me for 39.5 km. On two occasions he was within 50m of me while I was telling the pointers he was behind me. Passed us at the Dairy Flat regroup - still didn't do anything. But he obviously got a bit upset about some of my posts.
Well lesson learned. No longer will I refer to him by disparaging names like the Ginga Coont or suggest that his badge number is the new number of the beast etc. That behaviour is no longer acceptable and I shall refrain from this day forth.
Onwards and upwards.

[Qkchk]

You might as well come over for a catchup at the bar on Thursday. I guess with the feeble numbers on the ATNR, our mate has found larger fish to fry.

[Morcs]

Ginga is a coont.

I said it.

[Qkchk]

Ginga is a coont.

I said it.

Yeah but you know him on a first-name basis.

[Qkchk]

So who is coming out for a play tonight?

Testing some winter gear to prep myself for the Queens Birthday run to Turangi. Guess the temp at night will be somewhat similar to daytime temps down there next month. :cold:

[Pumba]

Oh ok why not.

[Qkchk]

Oh ok why not.

Just my thought........

[diggyduo]

Bugger, missed it again. Damn work.

Next week.....

[gunnyrob]

Nice to see a new face turn up (Jason) .

Unfortunately his clutch cable broke, but we managed to get him on his way home again.

Go the awesome TEC (me)

[Devil]

I'll get there one day. Clashes with waterpolo though...
Plus new bike has a bit of a shit headlight so i'm a little reluctant to do anything other than the pub trip!

[Hiflyer]

Can't be as bad as a hyosung's headlight!!

[Hinny]

Or a Duc 1098.

[diggyduo]

Or a Duc 1098.
is that because they usually point skywards?

[Hinny]

Annoyingly short swing arms.

[Qkchk]

Won't be there this week, off to Rotovegas for a couple of days. Have fun and play nice.

[Hinny]

is that because they usually point skywards?

short swing arms or were you referring to the weird reflector / deflector.

[diggyduo]

short swing arms or were you referring to the weird reflector / deflector.

Unfortunately mine is due to a crap reflector. Most xx98's I've seen have normal looking swing arms but apparently short throttle cables...

[Hinny]

[Pumba]

[Hinny]

I'm too lazy.. all that way in the rain!!! Gonna stay home and play old miserable bugger
Is that a game for one or more players?
Oh! I see it id old miserable bugger. Singular.
So, you are going to stay home and play with yourself.
Fair enough.

[Hinny]

Missed the ride last night. Had to babysit.
Watched DVD of Harry Potter.
Bit unrealistic if you ask me.
I mean ... A ginger- haired kid with two friends!

[Mrs Busa Pete]

I'm in dunedin so I couldn't make it. Hope you had a good one.

[OutForADuck]

Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.
The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women .
To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period.

It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects :
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally.
8) Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary.'

[OutForADuck]

OH come on.... you already know your an old tart!!! What difference can a couple of beers make :innocent:

[Qkchk]

[OutForADuck]

[Qkchk]

Foot still attached but no gear changing for a while, quite a messy wound.

[OutForADuck]

Silly bugger!! Hope the drugs are good.

[Pumba]

Christ I can imagine a wound with a chainsaw might be a bit messy.

Work or home injury?

[Littleman]

Steve should leave that stuff to the proffessionals.

[mnkyboy]

Nah, that goes against the 'have a go' attitude that I hope we never lose.

[OutForADuck]

Yeah I agree... have a go... what can go wrong... oh yeah..... oh well.

So do we call him hopalong now?

Littleman.... YOUR alive????? amazing.

[OutForADuck]

Pictures? Now the foot fetish's are coming out..... Let's see.. chainsaw... so "there's steve's foot... and there's steve over there".

Dawn, I am guessing its a decent injury or the man would be on here defending his honor no doubt!!!

I'll also be over at the pub around 7'ish..... better entertainment at those hours!!!

[OutForADuck]

Hey ducky --wanna borrow the spada I have here?

Thanks for the offer Frosty, but I think I have seen that too late. Might catch ya at the pub? Can exchange bounce stories!!!

Looks like more fun than riding bikes. . . . for twenty minutes anyway.
My Bro-in-law used to make people fly for ads and movies.
He would always test the gear/flight himself before putting other people in it.
One day he had some ropes a bit long and creased the top of his head, at high speed, along the deck. Couldn't let on that it had hurt in front of the 'Stars'.

Imagine the scenario with this if you got your programming a little wrong. Ouch...Ouch ...Ouch ! ! !

[OutForADuck]

Or even if you just pissed off the programmer :doh:... beware the geek for they rule the world!!!! :angry::laugh: Ok, ego trip over.. I"m back off into my corner to cuddle my laptop and grin menicingly (sp?)!!!:bye:

[Hinny]

Anyone keen on going to the pub quiz this week.
I did alright at the last pub quiz I went to.
Missed out on winning by one point.
The last question - Where do most women have curly hair?
Apparently the correct answer is Africa.

[Qkchk]

Pictures? Now the foot fetish's are coming out..... Let's see.. chainsaw... so "there's steve's foot... and there's steve over there".



Okay, Ive been very busy this week with work in Hamilton and also keeping someone company at the hospital end of last week but here are the photos............

[Qkchk]

I'll be flying back from Christchurch next Wednesday arvo but should be able to have another go at organising a Pub Quiz night, if anyone is interested?

Need someone good at sports questions as Husband thinks he knows everything else....:rofl:

[OutForADuck]

Geez Dawn... he was lucky to keep his toes!!! Nasty!!!!

[tide]

Am gonna be at the pub from about 7. Anybody else.

[Chocky]

O.K... I wont beat anyone around the head with safety bull...... but if anyone needs any chainsaw work done.... or any home type work done, I'm your man.
I work as a alloy window-door maintenance man but I am good with almost anything...... including glazing, electrical, building, automotive, and.....'ahem'.....chainsaws .
GUMBOOTS!!!!????
I wont be out tonight... to cold....to dark.... oh... and I'v just cracked my first of the night :-)

[The Stranger]

Okay, Ive been very busy this week with work in Hamilton and also keeping someone company at the hospital end of last week but here are the photos............

Well that's one way to trim your toe nails.

Littleman advises me that the average chainsaw would results in 110 stitches - WTF it's not even an avarage wound, must try harder next time.

[Kiwi Graham]

So, I guess you'll be fitting a heal and toe gear change to the BK then Steve? Looks sore buddy, put your feet up and get that woman of yours to run round after you.

Hat, coat etc

[Littleman]

Littleman advises me that the average chainsaw would results in 110 stitches - WTF it's not even an avarage wound, must try harder next time.


Dam peripheral limb injuries blowing my quoted stats out of the water.

[Pumba]

Oh man I expected a lot more blood and a lot deeper wounds.

But I can hardly talk. Check out my new fashion accessory for next few weeks.

[NinjaNanna]

you lot are bloody hopeless!!!!!!! What did you do this time?

What the hell have you done to yourself? Is there something in the water??

Perhaps you can come over and be Steve's bed buddy when I'm away on business?

[OutForADuck]

What the hell have you done to yourself? Is there something in the water??

Perhaps you can come over and be Steve's bed buddy when I'm away on business?

Now I thought that was a one time thing ... you know mix with alcohol and all that.. but maybe not!!!

Pumba... what the hell have you done to yourself, was the "work do" a bit over the top in the end?

[Pumba]

Well in my defence, I was not even slightly at a fault.

Someone decided taht they would try and pass me at a stupid place at buckets on Sunday. All I saw out of the corner of my eye as a tipped into the corner was a bike already on its side comming strainght at me at significant pace. Needless to say we both ended up in the grass, and when I went to A&E Monday morn I found out I had chiped the bone on my ankle.

So moon boot it will be for a couple of weeks.

[OutForADuck]

You ever think that maybe you need to pick up a safer sport?? tiddliwinks maybe? Mind you when the dudes already on the ground sliding and takes you out, you really are nothing more than skittles at taht time huh.

[NinjaNanna]

...at buckets on Sunday...

Damn you - I'd almost convinced Jacinda that buckets could be a cheap but more importantly safe form of motor racing....

[Pumba]

But it is Shane, it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NinjaNanna]

But it is Shane, it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacinda just rolled her eyes - see ain't buy it mate. Hope its not too painful now

[OutForADuck]

Jacinda just rolled her eyes - see ain't buy it mate. Hope its not too painful now

Think of it as training, building up and strengthening for a longer stronger life.... after all doesnt every break grow back thicher and stronger?

You keep bouncing down the road eventually your body will adapt I'm sure... something to do with Dawinism :rolleyes: Oh wait that's that selection stuff isn't it... like when a young reckless racer castrates himself going over the handlebars.... now I remember :lol:

[Pumba]

If I had castrated myself going over the bars I think I would find it hard to forget:shit:

[OutForADuck]

Probably the only thing that would be hard mind...... :(

[Hinny]

you lot are bloody hopeless!!!!!!!

What he said.

[Kittyhawk]

If I had castrated myself going over the bars I think I would find it hard to forget:shit:
Maybe it happened and you forgot?

[The Stranger]

Oh man I expected a lot more blood and a lot deeper wounds.

But I can hardly talk. Check out my new fashion accessory for next few weeks.

Run Forest run.

[gunnyrob]

FFS! Get fixed soon!

[Ntoxcated]

FFS! Get fixed soon!

Is that Darwinistic?

[Qkchk]

Besides the sliding of one self on a gokart track and the misguided action of a Stihl Chainsaw, whos coming up for the Pub Quiz on Wednesday? Would be a good time to swap war stories :dodge:

[Kiwi Graham]

Sorry mate going to be sunning myself in Aggie Gray's

[Pumba]

Besides the sliding of one self on a gokart track and the misguided action of a Stihl Chainsaw, whos coming up for the Pub Quiz on Wednesday? Would be a good time to swap war stories :dodge:

Yea sure. I will have run out of food in the cupbord for tea tomorrow night so may as well get a feed at the pub.

[OutForADuck]

Whose at the pub tonight? or even a ride (not that I'll be riding ... got everything other than my RAD now BTW).

[Pumba]

Was planning on it.

[Pumba]

Anyone going tonight? Was thinking I should go to the AMCC club night renew my membership. And by the inactivity on here I think I just might do that

Bit gunshy about heading into Haszard County after my run-in with the Popo last Thursday. (And all the other shit I have had to put up with from them in the past.)
Best to avoid venturing over the bridge methinks.

[rdkls]

Ahh so that was your vehicle on Paul Mathews Rd parked in front of the red and blue lights. Man you are a light blub and they are moths, maybe you are the new morcs?

[OutForADuck]

Its the combination of weeks of wet that slows them down... should have come through to the pub and said hello.. there were three of us that made it there.. two on bikes :)

[Hinny]

Man you are a light blub and they are moths, maybe you are the new morcs?

NOOOoooooooooo! I don't want to be a light blub.

They no longer seem to buy that line ' It wasn't me Officer, it was that Morcs guy' .

[rdkls]

Good turn out given the temperature last night and fact we are all soft, limpy jaffa boys... how are we all going to toughen up for Cold Kiwi :shit: .... At least Hinny came wearing his leathers in the spirit of the thing.

[OutForADuck]

Hiya Boys & Girls, have been getting mucked around by scouts lately, and Max has been a pain in the arse as well. Got him serviced & reshod for the MMMMM ride, but the new brake fluid blew the master cylinder. Two weeks and 950 bucks later, he was fixed today.

As I took him back from Sebastian, I noticed a big nail buried in his brand new rear tyre. Sooo I went & got that repaired, and when I got home, I noticed the tread on the rear tyre is arse about face! (along with the arrow). Will give the man a ring tomorrow to get it sorted, but you've got to laugh (eh Keith!)

[gunnyrob]

Tyre is back the right way round, all is sweet.

[Hinny]

Max isn't the only one off-colour. My bike is still N/W and I wasn't feeling too well either so I took myself off to the Doctor for a checkup.
My old Doctor has retired and a very attractive young woman has taken over her practice.
Well, she told me I had to quit masturbating.
I asked, "Why?"
She replied, "Because I am trying to examine you".

[gunnyrob]

anyone else riding tonight?

[tide]

Not sure about riding... but will likely be at the pub.

D

[Pumba]

sorry boys, and ocasional girls, I have other plans

[tide]

Pub anybody?

[Pumba]

Yea was planning on it. Might even turn up on the bike:gob: Not sure if I can be arsed doing the ride though. Might just do my own thing.

[OutForADuck]

Going to have to miss tonight......

[OutForADuck]

So who is out tonight.. I'll even be up for a ride I think... long as the rain doesn't piss down.

Will be on the either the Gixxer or might bring the new toy!!

[Pumba]

See you at the pub. Bike is out of action for any other rides apart from to and from work

[Hinny]

Great ride last night. Did the 'Urban Shuffle' around Devonport and a wiggly route to the pub. Sort of an architecture tour checking out some new buildings I had only seen photos of.
Bike was running really well early on but was rather reticent about leaving the pub.
Exciting ride home. :innocent:

[OutForADuck]

Yep had an interesting ride to the pub myself... little tootle through the back blocks. Argh the joys of being back on a real bike again.

[Chocky]

for a tootle tonight...... fixed my misfire.... put the lead back on the plug.....:whistle:

[OutForADuck]

Yeah I might try to get out myself.

[Chocky]

A lurking Pumba....comming out tonight?

[Pumba]

Pub?

10ch

[tide]

Pub?

10ch

Sounds good.

[tide]

guess my turn to ask

pub?

[OutForADuck]

I gotta miss tonight.... but enjoy :yes:

[Pumba]

Not tonight.

[Ntoxcated]

I'm still crook so might just have an early one :sick:

[tide]

well guess no one then... :blink:

[Morcs]

doh just realised its thursday.

Ill be at the pub next week. its been a while.

[OutForADuck]

Well I unfortunately will miss the next couple due to the ART season ramping up :yes: Gotta be fun coming.... So who is coming on the 3rd?

So looking forward to seeing you guys out there.

[Morcs]

Ill be back to lead the charge hopefully in a few weeks.

Pickup the TLR tomorrow, but got some work to do, and radar mounting isnt high on the list to start with, and need to get that sorted before the ATNR!

[OutForADuck]

Talking of Radar mounting.. need to re-mount mine on the Gixxer.... anyone know of a decent waterproof cover (i.e. one that is value for money :eek:)

[Morcs]

Radar2go or radar direct (cant remember which one it was) but on a side street opposite silvia park. wasnt too bad, but considering its 2 pieces of vacuum formed clear polystyrene its not value for money!

[Hinny]

Should just be like me and ride within the law and then you don't need a radar detector.

yes ... my bike is going.

[OutForADuck]

I never wish to have any encounter that involves being "inside" the law even if it involved riding..... Oh... I get it you were talking about a different type of riding inside the law..... :eek: Man you need help Hinny!!!!

HOnda riders aye!!!

[OutForADuck]

Yeah $65 for a bit of plastic is not exactly value!!!

[Pumba]

Yeah $65 for a bit of plastic is not exactly value!!!

Shit they have gone up in price. I am sure last time I got one off him it was only about half that!

[NinjaNanna]

Yeah $65 for a bit of plastic is not exactly value!!!

Maybe not but considering the value of what it protects its still money well spent

[OutForADuck]

Shit they have gone up in price. I am sure last time I got one off him it was only about half that!

Your right Pumba... Radar2go = $65 But I find that radar direct = $35 a much more reasonable price although still not what I would call value for money on a bit of plastic.

[Morcs]

HOnda riders aye!!!

Youll be able to say 'sorry officer, it was tthat Morcs guy'

[Pumba]

Stop being such a cheap prick, I didnt think $35 was to bad:bleh:

So, anyone going to the pub tomorrow. I would keen, not sure I can be arsed riding in this wind at the moment though

[Hinny]

I'll be there with the wind in my hair.
-on my bike that is.
Run the gauntlet without my Radar detector.
Don't really need one over in Haszard County-the dark side.
The :Police: don't bother with radar.
They are expert guesstimaters (Tui)
... or some such adjectival noun ending in 'ators which requires a high degree of fantasizing.

[Hinny]

Family coming tp visit.
Yo'all will have to make do without my charming company and witty repartee.

[Pumba]

Wouldnt mind going for a ride, but the rear tyre is about a mm above canvus.

So pub?

[OutForADuck]

Yeah I think I'll make the pub.... can't be bothered riding in what will end up wet... nice weekend coming :yes:

[Maha]

Add an extra 30 psi, it should increase the mm's to at least 3mm...:scooter:

[tide]

Will be at the pub :)

[Morcs]

Bah. I did 250k's in the so-called wet today, 80% was flat out riding!

got the TLR sideways enough that i looked left and saw the back wheel though.

[Hinny]

Best of intentions last night to catch up at pub.
Went for a ride and kept on going...

[EZAS]

Second week in a row that I've missed it :(
Is departure still at 19:00 or is it a little earlier now?

[NinjaNanna]

Wasn't me officer, honest, it was that morcs guy.

[OutForADuck]

Still at 7. I think this Thursday no one actually rode we just caged to the pub (happening a lot over the winter :facepalm: )

But we'll be back trust me.... ok... that was really bad advice.... but honest we'll be back.

[Pumba]

Hmmm, wounder if my tyre will make it throught the ride tomorrow?

[OutForADuck]

Hmmm, wounder if my tyre will make it throught the ride tomorrow?

you still riding that tyre Pumba!!!! Guess canvas isn't that slippery after all :facepalm: Must be those new super kevlar belts they are using!!!!:innocent:

[Pumba]

Well what can I say I am a cheap prick who likes to get my money's worth.

New tyre goes on on Friday. Acturally had a look at it tonight when I gave the bike a wash and I a sprited 100kph ride would kill I think:facepalm:

If I jumped on a plane right now, I could be there by 7:30 but buggar that'd be 10:30 local time, don't think that'll work somehow.
