Short notice 250 group ride to Kaiaua (21 July)

[gijoe1313]

As it has transpired that a favourable time-space continuum intersection of probability and fortuitous circumstances means I can ride tomorrow!

Not picking up Daphne since she will be delievered to my doorstep on Sunday! :woohoo:

So it means that Donor and I can make a small pootle to the lovely shores of Kaiaua to consume some shark and tatties! Anyone is welcome to join us at BP Botany (corner of Ti Rakau drive and Chapel Road) 9.00am for a 9.30am departure.

This will be a leisurely ride and newbie friendly! ATGATT will be inspected and mocked mercilessly for non-compliance. :angry2: But you can still ride!

PM me for further details if needed!

Is it just for 250's Joe? Could do with the short trip.

Nope...

250 oriented for the newbies and lesser confident among us, but all welcome.

Odd, the other thread seems to have disappeared, shall have to PM the mod responsible for the Club 250 forum and see what happened there!

...after all, we have been listing rides in Club 250 for a very long time, don't see why it would have been moved/removed!

Yep, appears I was a naughty boy apparantly! :scratch: I posted in the 250 club cause thats where I've always found out about these sort of rides and am now organising them myself to help others! :pinch:

I dunno... I even started this one to cover my bases in case I was wrong! But it appears even though I did, I was still wrong :mellow:

Never mind, such is life!

Just wondering why this time and not the other time when I posted the other spanner nights before putting them in this forum!

As the Thunderbirds would say, the weather is FAB and all systems good to go! Donned my gear, given my trusty Daisy a good going over (ooer!) Topped up her two stroke oil of goodness (she can still get it wet), kicked the tyres, pumped the brakes, indicators all doing as they ...

And waiting for Donor and zeocen to turn up at my place so we can get a pre-ride ride in before the big ride! (sigh, it's hard to be a biker at times! :innocent:)

For those who need to call me as we patiently talk shite and perve at each others bikes at BP Botany...

Just looked at the weather - have a good 'un out there. Unfortunately I'm still engrossed in gardening preparing for the house sale.

Don't worry about the infraction - I had a post sent to PD for bringing a thread back on topic after two mod's brought if off topic!:rofl:

Hope you had a good day and the Kaiaua food is at it's usual high deep fried standard!

[carbacca]

it wasnt raining when we got to kaiaua.....

but it was when we left

good ride though,too bad the weather didnt play ball

[Donor]

Goddam, what a ride!

Ah bugger, I better go post this in the Ride Reports section... hate to upset anyone in authority...

[gijoe1313]

Well just got back from the friendly invite to the house of Bass! Was a good wee ride and just taking it easy, the big presence of a Triumph and 'Busa overwhelmed the three two fiddies on the ride! :lol:

Weather was overcast but the road was good towards Kaiaua. Did the usual stop and had a quick scoff and then Hellraiser mentioned something about heated handlebar grips....

This set the heavens down on us and we hit rain heading out to the SH. Everyone split up as we made our own way home. Big ups to all those out there ...

Donor, Carbacca, Hellraiser and Bass! Let's hope this kicks off a revival for all new learners to go on a group ride out to parts unknown and just a nice easy ride for those bigger bikers!

:niceone: :scooter: :first:

As for me, Daisy tried her best to keep wanting me to go in faster - hunting through the powerband and avoiding crappy cager drivers cutting over center lines made for a characterful ride! :sweatdrop
