[badlieutenant]

assuming there will be no bins I could be keen. Im keeping mellow this weekend, I used my quota of luck up last weekend, so If you dont mind someone whos got nothing to prove Im most likely in :D

[Devil]

Well, if I get my bike back, and you're heading north, I could be tempted :spudwhat:

[Dodgyiti]

Yeah, I could be keen, and they only bin AFTER I have left, if that helps :yeah:
And if my lady wants to come then I will be taking it extra eazy anyway :hug:

Hmmmm... where's that GoatFoodDude when you need him? He'd have access to a goat or two.<_<

Hey man,

Woudl be good to do Waihi on Saturday and then come along on Sunday as well. Need to get some rides in before next wknd.

[Zapf]

well I have nothing to prove... hence on a VTR250...

just a nice ride / cruise. Depends on the weather .... perhaps SH22 again?

Hey man, Waihi ride cancelled....so definately riding on Sunday.

SH22 is nice ride, not sure I remember all the turns but happy to follow regardless.

Will no doubt get bike WOFed on sat and head to AMPS for sale.

[Zapf]

Any suggestions on other routes ppl? Perhap a tour out to Ragland as well.

DD what time you thinking of going to AMPS sale? and hav u got ur new tires yet?

[DarkDream]

Yeah man,

Tyres sorted!!! Real happy about that.

Picking up bike tomororw and getting WOF....then thinking about comparison price on Oxtar boots!

Hmmm Ragland, yeah that sounds good....would like a decent ride, hopefully weather is all good.

[Two Smoker]

I might come along, depending on time and if i go with MR or not.....

Yea so what tires did you get? and be careful about cleaning the silicon off the rubber ok.

[MadDuck]

I know you guys planning on heading Southish.....but heres a thought - come along to the Red Ribbon Ride. It ends at Western Springs. From there you can head either Scenic Drive or North up 16 and further.

Just a suggestion and we need numbers to make this a regular event.

[badlieutenant]

good cause. good idea. anyone else keen ?

[Zapf]

I am happy for good cause, however even more keen to stay out of traffic. Show ur interest .... for SH22 or Pink ribbon.

[6Chris6]

Did 22 today so I'd be keen on the red ribbon run and then 16 to Old North through to Wellsford.
What time does the run start, route etc, etc.

[badlieutenant]

it starts at 10:30 and the ride is at 11:30. quite late in the day. was hoping to do both......................weather may crap out yet

[dveus]

Im keen to head down 22, I try to keep away from the city as much as possible. I'll be at the Autobahn by 10 so am keen to ride with whoever turns up.

Mat.

[Zapf]

Cool I'll be at Autoban at 10:00 leaving around 10:30

[badlieutenant]

Ill be checking in here in the morning to see if everyone is still keen. What kind of ride do you guys intend on doing ? was wondering because if the pace isnt to crazy I was gona drag my mate along with his xt400 motard (his 9YR old son will be pillion)

[Dodgyiti]

The WIMA run is my mission for the day.
Numbers will be down 'cause of the weather I recon, so I will bat one for the team today.
Plus the weather is crappy all over, north and south, so I figure the run will be the go for the day. all this rain sodden commuting has got me a little down, and I dont feel like a big cruise in more of the same.
Have fun folks..
And no bins eh? :sunny:

[badlieutenant]

fuk fuk!!! the sun is shinning........but.....maybe if i procrastinate........ :killingme

[badlieutenant]

dam it decided to do the ribbon ride and thought id clean the bloody bike. bummer. an hour to clean one f^%$ing rim. once you start you cant stop. hopefully will still make it .

Went along, but did not see a bike with one shiny rim, one grimy rim, otherwise we woulda said hello

LOL I managed to get them roughly cleanish. I was parked next to a guzzi 1100. Errr was that you ? had pillion with them. I was on the crapyist looking bike there. Blue with dirt etc :D

[FROSTY]

How did the ribbon ride go?
Working here so couldn't go :mellow:

[badlieutenant]

wasnt too bad, bit of rain but otherwise there was a good turn out. I think they made a grand for the cause. I just like walking around looking at all the various bits of machinery. I need to get a KB sticker. Oh and just missed out on the big prize (whatever that was) 147 was the called numer and i had 148 :( did you know helen clark donated her old honda 50cc step thru to MOTAT, hmm she cant be that bad then :D

[FROSTY]

Helen clarke as a rebel biker--The picture just doesn't fit lol

[MikeL]

Also saw a 1948 Douglas (showing that BMW didn't have an exclusive patent on the flat twin) and an MOT R80 from Motat. Helen's Honda was in remarkably good condition with the seat being the only part that had obviously been renewed.
Met up with some old friends from Ulysses but KBers were not much in evidence (Mad Duck and SpankMe being obvious exceptions).
Weather could have been worse...

[badlieutenant]

all i saw were heaps of riders and bikes. How do you tell whos a KB'r ?

You either recognize them because you've been on a ride with them, or they're wearing a KBer T-shirt...

[badlieutenant]

ahh there in lies the problem. That was a ride but didnt know anyone so didnt met anyone :D not true tho, got talking to a few people which was kewl. Figured itd be either stickers or t-Sirts, everyone had thier jackets on and didnt see any stickers. I liked hearing some of the weird harmonics you get with different engine types and sounds just cruising in a crowd like that.

[MacD]

Mrs MacD and I were there in our KB t-shirts, but the only other one we saw was on SpankMe! Guess most people left their jackets on because of the showers (including us). We estimated that there were about 120 bikes at the end at Western Springs. I'd better work out where on the bike to put one of these KB stickers that I've just got!
:scooter:

[MadDuck]

Hi and a big THANK YOU to those of yous who ventrued out to support a great cause. I am sure you could tell Marion was pretty stoked.

I did spot MacD and Mrs (won a prize) just before the prize draws proudly wearing their KB shirts. I was damn focused on winning that whiskey raffle. Went to pop over say hi but everyone kinda took off real quick - blame Bathhurst I guess.

My bike was up front so you may not have spotted the sticker which I have on my screen just above the headlight. I was about the only WIMA member not brave enuff to put on a Pink wig. Awesome turnout and we reckoned on about 120 bikes
