250 Newbie Noob ride Sun Part Deux 25/11/07

[gijoe1313]

Righto, since it seems there has been a dearth of rides for those new riders out there, ol'gi will fire up the little ol'hornet and organamise a little tootle for them! :msn-wink:

After all, gotta put in what you take out, the big circle of life, pay it forward yada yada yada...

So, heres what I propose...

A nice quiet and easy run for those first-timers who are confident out on the semi-open roads to get out and enjoy the biking experience. No wankers with egos and attitudes need apply.

Depending on numbers and experienced riders (who can ride at a road legal pace), will be a day to enjoy! :yes:

I can't work out how to make that register for event thing, and last time I did this I got infracted for trying to learn about the features, so buggerit, just PM me for the details.

This way, I can vet the applicants so there won't be any kaka business! :oi-grr:

[EJK]

You forgot to add "Vol. 2" :lol:

I'm in. Donor for TEC?

[gijoe1313]

I forgot I had to pick up the olds on Saturday arriving from China! Buggerit, its for Sunday! :o

[gijoe1313]

You forgot to add "Vol. 2" :lol:

I'm in. Donor for TEC?

TEC is a most coveted spot, people fight long and hard to prove they are the nanniest of nanas to be there!

Why, I fought something awful for that position! It is a post I relish, but if you have to organise, you can't be at the back like modern commanders!

Biking is about ye olde school and lead from the front, as the Israelian officers say "Follow me!"

[Jeaves]

Jeaves is in for this one :headbang:

[EJK]

When did you change it to Sunday?!
Damn then EJ is out :crybaby:

[Northpoint]

Oh man. Why are the rides always on days that I can't make :oi-grr:

[Ragingrob]

Sooo... where abouts ya heading? Could be keen as!

Well since gijoe1313 will be out the front and leading this ride, you could end up anywhere in the North Island.
So have plenty of petrol money and just be prepared to not be home for hours.

He has been known to go for a wee pootle and end up down near Wellington!:woohoo::shit::shit::confused::laugh:

Bollocks, talk to Sprag, he's coming from over your neck of the woods...

[Choco]

He beat me to it and pm'd me first.
It's just a bit far for an ikkle newbie like myself who hasn't been on the motorway before.
I'll practice more and go on the next one with you guys!
Mike
P.s
If anyone is doing any North Shore Total Newbie rides let me know!

[HungusMaximist]

You guys should organize the ride up north to Warkworth, Mangawhai Heads, Waipu, Langs Beach, Whangarei but you don't wanna stop there, so up you go to Pihia and the Bay of Islands then on to cable bay and a bit further up is the cape. Bring a tent and camp out I say! Frikkin mean! Booo yah!

Indeed!

As it turns out, I may just be available for this ride - how fortunate for me!

[Donor]

Oh, and as a graduated Cruisier rider, I of course will be more than happy to protect the hearing of the pack by sitting well and truly at the back of the pack... *cough*

[Choco]

Next time!

[Blue Thunder]

Oh, and as a graduated Cruisier rider, I of course will be more than happy to protect the hearing of the pack by sitting well and truly at the back of the pack... *cough*

Having hear the nefarious growl from you machine, I would suggest about 1km behind the pack:bleh:

[sprag]

churr! see u there

No your a twat, and if you do turn up there and show off by under cutting etc, i will make sure that i have *555 on speed dial, all you need is to give me 1 reason skid, just 1 reason.

[sprag]

[zeocen]

What a damn shame, I was really looking forward to meeting you.

And having some words.

[gijoe1313]

Righto, people keep PMing me if you have queries or need to join up!

Looks good that a mix of experienced riders are donating their time to help fledge some new birds out of the nest into a bright, new, biking world!

Learning skills safely and in the company of like-minded people is the name of the game :niceone:

[gijoe1313]

Well that was a turn up for the books! :scratch:

Not one L-Plater in sight! :lol: When I saw Duckaddict I was thinking :gob: "Gah!"

All was fine however, the ride was modified to suit the more experience the group had and we pootled on over dales and yonder! Only moment was swarms of bees were hit, I seem to hit a swarm of bumblebees that mistook my little ol'hornet for an enemy...

4 or 5 of those buggers in a row at your helmet really makes you think if someone is firing a machine gun at you :eek5: :shit:

Trip took in Whitford, Maraetai, Hunuas, Mercer, Port Waikato, Pukekohe and Waiuku! :ride:

No hi-jinks or shennanigans on the ride, all is good! Excellent road discipline and safe riding by all ... I like!

Spot you all on the next (semi)Newbie noob ride! :rofl:

Piccies ...

#1 : usual bike pr0n shot
#2 : and more of the same
#3 : Donor riding the pony on Carbacca :sick:
#4 : "Now this is how you fix a cruisier..." chez Donor doing his thing! :gob:

[Jeaves]

Yep , fantastic ride indeed :niceone:.

Those bees were a pain , however they were worse off playing chicken with our helmets :pinch: .

Looking forward to the next GI

Now time for a :apint:

[EJK]

Heh... guess you guys had fun... :P

[sprag]

Heh... guess you guys had fun... :P

Well i have a sore arm, butt, knees and back.

[carbacca]

[Choco]

I hereby officially want to go on the next one! I'll even bring my L-plate!! ;)

[sprag]

I hereby officially want to go on the next one! I'll even bring my L-plate!! ;)


Well I might just have to bring along a L plate as well next time, not that I need a L plate as no longer on learners however I could just give it to GIjoe to make him feel better.

and my butt is still sore dammit

[crashe]

Donor, get a suntan will ya.

Gawd almighty, I need to wear my sunnies...... your arms are as white as your singlet.


Ok so how many kms did gijoe make you all pootle?


Glad you all had a great day..... By the time I woke up and read my pm and looked at my watch, I then realised that I had missed the ride.... as there was no way I could get from mine to Botany in such a short time.....

Next time.........

[carbacca]

yeah the infamous pootle led by gijoe strikes again...

U really should know most riders arn't like you! :lol:

Hey! When I noticed no-one in the group was sporting a yellow plate of nooby newbness, I quickly re-calculated my route and did it to take into account of the upgraded experience level! :oi-grr: :lol:

And as one of my sayings go ... "if you didn't fill your tank more than once, the ride was too short!" :msn-wink:

Heck matey, you can talk, pootling along on your scorpio to places like the Coro and beyond :whistle: :girlfight: :wari:

Next ride lets see if some actual noobies turn up! :scratch:
