Plenty of bikes, quite windy through Balance, drizzle most of the way, misty over the track, didn't have my good helmet with anti-fog, I vanished at the end of the ride to go find a warm house.

A crap days riding is better than a good day at work.The weather gods pissed around,but still a good experiance riding in all sorts of conditions.
We need a quieter pub lol,so we can get to the bar faster,much fun and if this is a crappy weather turnout,wtf when it is fine,no wind,and a good road to boot,the reason to shift here is vindicated,was envious last year reading the rides etc,great to be here enjoying them.

I should also add, in my experience there's no such thing as a perfectly good aircraft. They always have a gaping big hole in the side!:rofl:

What about Feilding riders meet as a group next Friday then head out. There are some more newbies interested.

Have an inkling I'd try doing a parachute jump,but definately a tandem,that way if ya freeze on jump time with a tandem ya just have to go lol.Bungy is so so,whitewater rafting that is bloody great especially grade 5 like Rangitikei river was graded years ago.

Nah i'd do the full newbie camp and jump alone, freezing's fine they have hammers for smashing ya fingers to make ya let go ! Tandems too (give over controll) for me and it just looks gay ! Static for the first couple, freefall for the next 150 odd, then find the biggest mother fuckin cliff face to run and jump off !

For a one off jump, tandem is probably the way to go!

Don't know bout balls ! They shrink a bit over the years ya know, but scarin is what i want !
Made a resolution a few years back (call it a bucket list) to start doin shit that scares me !
Went straight to pram airport to see about jumpin (didn't realise they'd stopped it at that field years ago) and got talking to this young bloke who said have ya ever tried aerobatics ? lol like nah (took him an hour to get my lips poking out the quaterlight) wasn't the g's or loopdiloops that got me, was when he took me inland and did some top dressin (was the field he was gonna get into) Green i went !

Heard from him this morning about 5.45 just as they were relaesed. No broken bones, just very tender. Ill pop out and see him tonight or tomorrow morning to see how he is
Gutted no doubt as i think the bike came off second best

Barry and Phoebe are both fine, just a few scratches, no broken bonez
Bikes not too bad, right side fairing scratched up with a few cracks, repairable, broken gear lever and a hole in the side cover on the motor, the cover is only for looks so the bike is still rideable
He lost the front wheel in some pea metal on a right handed corner, woulndt have seen it in the dark. Looks like the gear took most of the punishment so he'll be shopping for new riding suit and helmets
Cowboyz Gary and I went out to check on them this afternoon, pleased we did, put our minds at rest

Sweet as, I know you'd do the same for, no worries. Glad too hear your injuries were limited to strains and no breaks but all the same take it easy, they can be just as big a pain in the arse to heal as broken bones sometimes, I prescribe a few days off :D

Bloody good turn out considering the weather
Just a side note Dogsnbikes binned on his way home last night. He and Phoebe are ok. He dropped it about a k from his place and managed to get the bike home, then drove themselves to hospital. Heard from him this morning about 5.45 just as they were relaesed. No broken bones, just very tender. Ill pop out and see him tonight or tomorrow morning to see how he is
Gutted no doubt as i think the bike came off second best
Well Guys the bike is looking better and better each day,parts were at anza today and drop farings off to painter for priming pick up tomorrow,had wheel alingment done today and kerry cheak frame and suspension front and rear as well everything is striaght as....bless his little heart for riding from opunake in the rain to work on the bike....So now we are just waiting on the riding gear to be sort with insurance company
Thanks everyone for your support and concern and will see you on friday :chase:

Not sure where we are going but alister suggested the Apiti loop, if we do this we could call in on dogs place as he needs a lift to get his Daytona off the work bench now hes almost finished fixing it

out colyton road, up kimbolton road to pemberton, across to ohingaiti, back through vinegar hill perhaps?

Friday Night Ride Review 10 October 08
:rockon:
An awesome ride. fantastic atmosphere. You guys blew me away, both literally and Metaphorically. Keep the system running.
26 Bikes at my count, terrific work at corners etc. Nice route through the windys with a blat down the straight towards the end.
I enjoyed being able to ride at a comfortable pace on an unfamiliar road.
Great social time At Murray's.
An A+ result Meanie. Thanks :done:
4 Feilding Riders.
Bonez
10th October 2008, 20:34
Blaardy primo ride tonight. 30 odd bikes, ideal evening, no one trying to prove a point. Stopped in to Dogs and Phebs to lower the 995i off the "workbentch" then on to Apiti though to Feilding for a natter at Murrys Irish Bar. Publican even threw in a couple of plates of fodder for the riders.
Well done all.

Yeap good ride. Will be even better when the daylight is around longer. Good venue for the after ride too. The free food was a nice touch.
Wonder if Farmer Phil is still there taking "bikes" with that lady. The lone bike in the carpark after we left.

Yep, nice night out. Bit chilly in places but was quite pleasant riding home. Got to try out the high-beam on the Honda and it was a pleasant surprise. Good to practice a bit of night riding (well 10 mins of it) - gonna see a fair bit of darkness pretty soon.

Well considering I own what "bad arse hard core" bikers consider one of the ugliest bikes ever manufactured in Nippon I'd have to agree with that :blink:

Just looking at the Dom Post forecast for the Manawatu:
Cloudy periods. One or two showers in the morning, longer fine breaks in the afternoon.
Westerlies, fresh in exposed places.
High of 16 degrees.
Wairarapa:
Fine, northwest winds strengthening in the evening.
High of 18 degrees.

Good ride, 14 riders. A few who hadn't been on a ride with us before. One Lass new to riding on a Scorpion 225. A good evening for her. A bit of wind, sun strike, riding in the dark and a few roads she'd never travel on. Good on ya!! :niceone: She had the company of Karmen and Monamie so she would'nt feel left alone. John led the faster riders along the route.
Basic route was Gorge, Balance, left to Pahiatua to the though Mangamire on towards Eketahua and looped back around to Pahiatua for a natter, refreshments and nibbles at the Black Stump. Looks like the staff are beginning to get use to the idea of us popping in now :clap: Most of us decidied to go via the gorge home and pop into Meanies to see how Monie was doing. The usual suspects where there and lots of giggles where to be had. Arrangements where made to pick up the new Bonezmobile on Sunday. The cake was yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
See ya all on the next one.

Monie is fine, she had an op that she was waiting for. She should have been laid up for a week but as per usual, she cant sit still very long and shes off to work tonight.
Good to see everyone call in last night and didnt recognise bonez without his beard, called him Mark cause he just didnt look like bonez

Who was the guy on the Red RF900 who was with another guy on a Suzuki Across I think. Hi anyway. Even harder to figure out WHF is going on these days with two sites.
Good to hear all went well for Monie. Lance is fine as he only landed on his head. Seriously hope you feel better today Cowboyz..

Will do, and then we should organise a group of us to go.
It is on for 6months and they are going to be changing the bikes during that time as well. So we might have to go a couple of times

Not sure if I can make it tomorrow, as we are getting the keys to our first house and I have the wicked task of rug doctoring the place<_<. Hoping we will get the keys around lunching time so I can make it out and give the twin a run.:chase:
And then the most outragest job of moving all our belongings out of the in laws shed into the house.:niceone: (But that will be done over the weekend)
Then I can start to call PN home again:clap:

Te Manawa is the name of the local museum here is Palmy.
Rod Coleman was once in the NZ team for Isle of Mann, many moons ago (ok just google it like I did hehe)
They are putting on a 6 month exhibit called 'Motorcycles Unleashed' a century of competition bike
I know everyone I am :Offtopic:
