Sunday Ride 17/9/06

[Draco]

Hi All,
For those of us stuck at home with kids or working today, anyone up for a ride 2moro? Maybe up 16? Slow to medium pace, all welcome.
Cheers, Draco

[SlashWylde]

Sounds good :yes: depending on the weather of course :angry:

[insane1]

should be good for a blast where we meet up

[Draco]

How does meet 10am at Shell Westgate, cruise to wellsford for a coffee sound? We can carry on elsewhere if the weather is good or cruise home if we're feelin like nana's.

[insane1]

sounds good i"ll be there how many are coming.

[MacD]

Sounds like a good idea! Will bring the usual pillion :)

[Zapf]

might turn out to be a old skl KB ride :) might turn up for that.

[SlashWylde]

Sounds good. See you all then.

We will see what the weather is like in the morning and could meet you at KKK pub say...... 10.30/45am?...

[skidMark]

will you be leaving westgate at 10?

and am i welcome...i promise not to ride like a dick?

and maybe somebody could help me with my riding a bit tell me what i'm doing wrong etc?

again if i'm welcome to come along that is?

[MacD]

Draco, whatever you do please dont speed on 16, it is HEAVILY policed at the moment, and motorcycles are the main target, particuly on Sundays, so make sure everyone just cruises.

I did a short run up there today and saw a blue mufti (insert generic Japanese) sedan who had pulled somebody over. No marked cars though. On the way back I was flashed just outside Kaukapakapa so watched my speed through the town. The police were just before the Dairy Flat turn-off stopping all south-bound traffic and asking if they recognised a young guy in a photo! Anybody know what that was about?

Anyhow, I'll be cruising with a pillion. :scooter:

Thank for the heads up Speedie, i done some work for a cop that lives on SH16 around the Glorit area, talked to him about the bike's on that road and, he said that he understands that they are out there for a squirt and is fine with that but looks out for the ''idiot'' factor....he's a biker himself....

"Thanks, If the weather holds I will be there at KKK"


So it looks like there will be a few stragglers to pick up in KKK today.:scooter:

Your welcome BP. Thanx for your company guys:niceone: was a nice cruisy day out. Shame about the poor bastard on the gixxer, best he find another patch of road when he eventually gets his licence back. Cheers to the dude who gave us the heads up about the blue sedan (dunno if your a kber). No tickets, no bins, dry roads, (mostly) :sunny: what more could a girl ask for..... apart from a tyre without a damn nail in it :doh: (Oh, and a portable hairdryer for you crashe):bleh:

[skidMark]

[crashe]

Skidmark - Good boy for listening....

Draco - Mate awesome to catch up with you again...
I'm glad you got home ok with the nail in your tyre.

MadDuck - Good to see you out riding again. Great to catch up with again.

Maha man and Mrs Maha man - NIce riding with you guys I enjoyed that pace you set.

Busa pete and W - Ya wimps, piking out at Wellsford. Yep I know where you called into on the way home... dobbing me in. Cheers for that lol.

Classic Zed - Nice to meet you and what a awesome bike you have... good to see a classic out there.

toymachine - great riding and good on you for comeing up to Mangawhai pub with us.

Insaneone - Good to see you out there on your scooter.

Sorry I can't remember who else was there today... but it is grerat to see many new faces.

Yep to who ever it was that gave us all the heads up re: the police man.. that was cool... it only took us about 10km to find him thou, but he was ummmm rather occupied with that young man who now has to walk for some time... with I imagine a very hefty fine to boot. (215km)
We spoke to him at Wellsford after that very nice police officer dropped him off to catch up with his mates who had stopped up at the lookout.

Hairdryer worked well.... where else do you get a hairdryer than at a pub....!

[The_Dover]

The police were just before the Dairy Flat turn-off stopping all south-bound traffic and asking if they recognised a young guy in a photo!



An autistic kid that was missing, has tendancies to run out in traffic etc.. he has been found now

First thought that sprung to mind was that they were lookin for me or you again speedie!!
