Ashhurst boy catching-up ride, 10 June 07

[cowboyz]

Well it seems I am catching up to all the old farts I ride with.

Yes on the 10th June 2007 I will become 34 years old and that has to be celebrated on the bike.

Thinking heading over the track down into Waiarapa, Alfredton way to masterton and out round there somewhere. Don't even know why I bother putting this bit in the intro to my posts cause you know thats not really where we are going to go.

Little disappointed that I dont get to skive off work on my birthday like some others round here.

Weather looks like its going to be awesome on Sunday so kick off about 10am from mobil ashhurst.

Whos coming?

[chanceyy]

ahh bugger lance would love to .. but heading up north tomorrow :(

[yod]

shit....might have to do a half assed fix up job on the viffer, anyone got a nc21 left side lower fairing bracket lying round? or a weldy thingy thing wotsit?

[cowboyz]

What did you do to it?

I am going to work in the morning. If you want to come down in the morning we could make a bracket out of something.

[yod]

tomorrow morning u mean?

its obviously been fixed before and they've use steel thats too thin so its just given way again (understandable with the MIGHTY power of the V4 :laugh:) - i noticed the fairing moving a bit when i was out vinegar hill way with Phil (he was on a 88 GSXR250 and I STILL couldnt stay in front of him! :laugh:)

not the end of the world - the back end of the fairing is just hangin loose and moving around a bit

[dogsnbikes]

text me in the morning and bring it down (that being the 9th june) and we will jimmy something up for it. I will use something that can handle speeds of 335km/hr so it is sure not to break again.

good ride will fix it. Failing that an insurance funded FJR is not a bad consolation prize.

[chanceyy]

hey thanks for the fix-it job this morning mate - i got home and told the wife to suit up and we'd give her new gear a road test (just an excuse to take a quick rip through the gorge and back), she was mighty impressed with it

the bracket's still attached - must have been the paint job:laugh:

btw, the weather tomorrow is looking better on this side than the wairarapa side, might wanna revise those plans and stay over here....

[yod]

awesome. all the ashhurst boys are being girls and not coming. (or doing the work thing)

No worries. Just dont do a comprehensive test on the gear huh?

Bloody fussy Honda riders. I really shouldn't have painted it. The extra weight is going to lower your top speed to the late 290s.

Yeah. looking at teh metservice and thinking about going up the valley instead.


hows the mower? find/fix the problem?

pulled it apart and then remembered it is saturday and went .. fuck it.. threw it in the "I cant be fucked" basket and came home.

Happy birthday cowboyz
Have a safe one

[Grub]

There's a bunch of Wellyites heading your way for either the Saddle, the Track or both ... i also suggested the cafe at the eastern end of the gorge that heads onto the Track.

If you've got mobile nums for Mrs Kendog, Sels1, Buckbuck, KoroJ you might be able to hook up

[cowboyz]

nice cafe by the look. never stopped there myself cause it is about 1km from home. Saw a group of bikes coming through feilding but never stopped. we stopped for fuel and they carried on.

[Bonez]

again was cowboyz, hasnt anyone learnt not to To be perfectly honest he was ok till we hit Feilding..................

Nice to meet Kat13.

Spent quite bit of time talking about PCs and other geekish stuff by the side of the road. Which was ok because it happened to be a hobby of mine till a few years ago. Hence Tux flapping his wings.

[86GSXR]

Bugger, sorry I missed it! Work eh!

[cowboyz]

would have been a bit better with a triumph or two in the mix. Anyone know where we could find a couple?

[86GSXR]

I have a very good idea where we can find a couple of big golds! When's the next group ride then? I know I'll be out there 1st thing tomorrow working on upping those revs some more!

[dogsnbikes]

yeah and mine will be home on wednesday and she looks good with her fish nets one:shutup:
