[SN4PD]

Anyone keen on the idea of a lunchtime ride from auckland CBD

Im talking conceptually, is any interested in doing one sometime this week, or am I waisting my time.

[TerminalAddict]

sorry mate ..
'tis a good idea

we seem to lack organised rides in Hamilton.

Or maybe nobody likes me :shifty:

[SN4PD]

Us Jaffas 'll have to show your how it's done:lol:

[WRT]

Where to? Could be keen, I'm up on Symonds St.

[McJim]

I'm in Ponsnobby - spoke to Dover 'bout this concept a wee while ago - big obstacle for me would be food - I'm a fat Bastard that likes to eat (yeah, I know, I sound like Fat Bastard too)

But yep - I'd be keen - where is there to ride to though?

Say down the nor western and out sh16 way, some of the forrest roads are pretty good, then through to albany and sh1 over the bridge to the city.

As for food, the dairy across from me sells pies, OneSquareMeal's and Up'N'Go, true biker food!

Would aim to leave at 12:30 ish and be back by 1:15 ish.

See you on the ride and if not at the pub :beer:

[timorang]

just seen this thread - need a proper ride rather than the daily commute and parasites at home have a shit load lined up for me this weekend so no chance of a ride then - wot I is saying is that i am in. Not entirely sure where those streets meets so I will circulate the area. Wave down a black honda hornet looking lost.

Wish I'd ridden the MuZ 660 in this morning. I will be slow on the twisties as the Honda's tyres are shoot.

tim.

[SlowHand]

Poop poop poop. Got in this morning to find the deadlines for all the jobs have been brought forward. No play time for Albin... :bye:

[placidfemme]

One more thing, I have a sore throat ATM, this way I don’t have to explain it to everyone.

And NO I didn’t get it doing that! And you a fucking sicko for thinking of It:Pokey:

[gijoe1313]

:weep: Awww shizen, some kiljoy upper management needs my help to supervise an "unruly" class :( bastiches must have known I was going to head out on my bike 'cause its such a luvverly day :spanking: bugger, begorrah and ... :mad: :crybaby:

Eat lotsa pies fer me lads (make mines a potato top, lamb with mint and a tandoori chicken) :weep:

[McJim]

Good run - well done Liam - good idea.

Of course I held everyone else up - thanks to timorang hanging back to make sure I hadn't binned trying to catch up.

Dunno if I'll come along again unless there are some more riders my pace as I felt a bit guilty holding you all back.

Those roads really to hand the advantage to the big engined bikes though - not quite as twisty as the goat track GP - I prefer the challange of hairpins rather than the sweeping curves and long straights up Albany way.

Get over yourself mate, you werent holding us up, and we didnt give a fuck anyway :lol: You're most definitely invited to future runs :hug:

However I might try and organise something out Goat Track GP way next time as it's a bit more sporting on my 250 :p (That and it might slow spank down a bit :D)

[timorang]

Nah McJim, you turn up would have been all alone back there otherwise. Often it is more enjoyable at 50% than 110%. Good ride thanks for organising it NZ_Liam. I may bring the noisey single if there is a next time.

Difficult to get to Goat track and back in a lunch hour - let alone ride it. I just need to learn to ride a bit faster - that's all. Goat track won't slow Spank down....but then you knew that didn't you?

[SN4PD]

Not next Friday, the one after http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=990&day=2006-11-3

:Oi: If you couldn’t turn up last time, get your ass into gear :Pokey:
