:niceone: here ya go, just an easy day out with some good roads and something a bit further afield with a change of scenery :corn:

[The Lone Rider]

Would it be worth doing a regular weekly weekend ride during the colder months? Or am I being silly?

Get in touch with some of the clubs. Their are weekend rides all the time. On Sunday there was about 35-45 bikes that all went to Hamner together - PMC, CKMC, SGC, Fred's Busa club (name..?), few friends of friends and some KB people. Some us have been getting some club on club action as people start dropping off with the winter coming weather. Always good to be out with a new group in amongst your own group.

Nice ride, few even went for a swim. Really really warm in Hamner.

So did anyone actually go for a ride last night? I turned up at the carpark but at that stage there was only 3 of us.

[JMemonic]

Sorry mate I would have loved to have. hope the 3 of you did get out though.

[phoenixgtr]

Nah, I buggerred off and left the other 2 there. Sorry guys!!

[.produKt]

I would have been there, with or without a bike lol.
I don't particuarly care about the weather.
I've been tested and i don't melt when i get wet! ~-_- :woohoo:

I must have been a reject model. :rolleyes:

[homer]

oh you wernt rejected
lol

[.produKt]

LOL! ahh well.

I almost don't understand the mentality behind
(Insert poofter pom accent here) "By Joe it's raining!, I shan't go out today for i might get wet!" -_-. *chuckle*

I've only got one years riding exp under my belt, and i love nothing better than going out, having some fun, coming home soaked, and curling up in front of the heater :) ahh bliss ;)

[JMemonic]

I must have been a reject model. :rolleyes:

Hmm family show here isnt it ... no well ...... :lol:

[JMemonic]

And the big questions is are we going to have a ride this week ? Metservice says fine but we know how accurate that is sometimes.

[homer]

Like that plan. I know my roster will make it hard to do many rides and some will not be able to make it at all :(

[homer]

oh ok , well a different day of the 2 days of the weekend .
lol

[phoenixgtr]

I'm planning on going along tonight. I'm not sure I could make many weekend rides if we switch it to weekends but I'd be better off if it was Sundays.

You going tonight JM? Gotta talk to you about this spanner night Wayne's sorting out

[JMemonic]

Hope to be there, even if just for the start.

[sopachrga]

Hope to be there, even if just for the start.

Me too, even if just to actually meet and annoy a few of you.

[Monty69]

i just got my bike bk after 6 weeks in the shop so ill cum even if its just to sit on it in the carpark lol

[phoenixgtr]

Ha maybe if noone wants to go for a proper ride we'll just all head to a pub

[sopachrga]

Well back after my first Wednesday night ride, was a damn good time. Great to meet all you guys, and I hope I didn't hold you all up too much! Looking forwards to catching up with you all again. I've definatly got lots to learn.

Oh... and thanks for the beer Deviant Esq! :rockon:

[phoenixgtr]

No worries mate. You did well!! Good to meet you

There was a very shiny silver bike there tonight...nice :2thumbsup

[JMemonic]

Dont you go starting vicious rumours like that, repeat after me there was not a shiny sliver bike there tonight that looked remarkably like a Ducati ST3, honestly there wasn't.

As for having it take the lead until the wheatsheath turn off.


Great ride tonight, shame about the lack of numbers but I appreciate some folks don't like riding in the dark so please have a look at this thread (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1535025#post1535025) about the discussed maintenance evening

[Sellout]

Sorry all, had planned to be along tonight, but the wee man is sick! Fever and cough etc etc, so no "hall pass" tonight!!

Glad to hear there are a few brave souls still out there though!

:banana:So the rumours are true!!! Congrats on the new beast!! Look forwad to seeing it!!

I wanna see some pics of your new bike JMemonic.

Anyone keen to head along to this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=72187) as the destination for the next CWNR?

Might be able to organise this, but if you want to have a close and personal look and are not working Monday PM me.

I will certainly try to get there.

[Deviant Esq]

Welcome, happy to have you along. :yes:

You did fine. It isn't easy getting comfortable with riding, finding out what lines work for you, how the bike feels through the corners, gradually increasing your cornering speed and lean angles etc, when a) you don't know the road, and definitely b) when it's dark! Motorbike headlights aren't too flash generally speaking, so it takes some getting used to even on the roads you know. So bearing all that in mind, you did pretty well :)

That will make for a good ride, BK to the Media Club :)

Why not get a group together and do the Chomdeley run on Saturday with the other 90 bikes? Last year was great.

[phoenixgtr]

Unfortunately I won't be there this week. Have fun without me

Yup, looking forward to this, thought I had to work but I've been let off :)

See you there ...

[Spuds1234]

I unfortunaltly have to pass this week.

Having just transerfered to a new store I found out today that I have a manager meeting at 7.30 on Wednesday.

Not cool. I was really looking forward to seeing Phil Garret speak about his experiences.

[JMemonic]

As I understand it there is no ride tonight however several of us will be attending the talk to be given in this post http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=72187.

Given the weather forecast for today this looks to be a great option for a night out, regardless of your personal feelings towards other members and their personal disputes this is a worth while cause and should prove to be an entertaining evening.

On the topic and personality's that are drifting in from another event where there appears to have been some misunderstanding, please keep it out of the Wednesday night rides and sort it amongst yourselves, this is a social and fun way to fill in an evening and get out on our bikes as a group, I for one would like it to remain so, and have no one feel they are excluded due issues outside of this particular event.

[phoenixgtr]

Ok people. I think we can call an official close-down to the Weds Night Rides for winter. This doesn't mean you can't still turn up if you want to. There may still be some who want to ride. Go for it.

However, this week will will begin the Chch Maintenance Evenings as being organised by JMemonic and Wofman. See the details here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=72248)
