Monday 28th Jan

[Kittyhawk]

Since its a day off for most and the monday learning nights are going well, lets do a ride!!

It's open to all those who just want to ride at a reasonable pace so you must be comfortable at doing 100km/hr. Meet up with other kbers and have lunch somewhere and pootle on back to the city.

There are two routes I have in mind....One out West and one out East...or if anyone has something better let me know...

Meeting point is 0930 Panmure Mobil (next to the big Panmure roundabout)

Depending on the poll, if we decide to go west the second meeting point will be Shell Westgate at 1030

Pm me for directions...Friday I will post up the poll results....and will go from there as to weather we are riding East or West..

:spanking:

[Badger8]

The Badger is keen.
GO EAST Y'ALL! ::2thumbsup Great roads for noobs, and great scenery :niceone:

There is new gravel on twilight road, be careful.

[fireball]

and WEST IS BEST
but end of woodcocks did have a bit of gravel at warkworth end.... and 16 was looking great on monday

[Badger8]

Yeah, came through there on sat. All sealed again, just some loose gravel on the top that needs sweeping. Roads out through kawakawa bay and kaiaua all sweet as per normal tho :yes:

[Elise]

yay good idea kitty

and WEST IS BEST


agreed!! and that way ill get to sleep in a bit more..

[Patch]

East - don't wanna run into any of them nasty westie biker types, besides the latte's are better quality over here :headbang:

[DUCATI*HARD]

eastside rocks:whistle:

[Kittyhawk]

HAHAHA OOOER bring on the East Vs West!!!

If there's gravel, um......it just adds flavour to the ride....:bleh:

[MadDuck]

If you do decide on SH16 I would be keen to tag along as I will probably head up there anyways.

Need some time to get used to the new boike.

[TOTO]

I'm in 100%. doesn't matter where but wes would be nice.

Thanks Kittyhawk :)

[DUCATI*HARD]

keen for monday also,thats another two bikes:yes:

[gtr boy]

me too,lets rip up the west...............:msn-wink:

[Kittyhawk]

Meeting point is 0930 Panmure Mobil (next to the big Panmure roundabout)

Second meeting point will be Shell Westgate at 1030

(It's only an extra half hour ride for us easties so not to much of a biggie!!)

Rules are as follows:

No dickheads allowed! Showing off and dangerous manouveours will not be tolerated, you will be asked to leave.

Ride your own ride, if you are not comfortable with certain sections of the ride take it slow...

If you want to go fast, start at the front of the pack to save passing everyone and scaring the less experienced.

Be prepared, you know the things you may need to carry "in case" something goes wrong.

:whistle:just got to track down a bike now lol!

[trump-lady]

Roundie roundie roundie...
"i'm sure it was one of these roads we wanted... nope, not that one... ooh! that one? Nope, that doesn't look right either... My, what a long roundabout, we've been going round for hours and still cant find the exit we want... oh well, cant be far off now!" :lol:

that's okay, i'll come to the rescue in 20 minutes :D

[Badger8]

Well, what a day! Great ride, and nice to meet a few new faces :yes:
Most k's i've ever done on my bike in one day, and a long ride last night too, damn my butt is S O R E !!! But so worth it :D
Took some photo's, but did so on my work camera, and left the darn cable on my desk on friday, so will have to post them up tmrw.

Thanks for being patient and waiting for me when needed, but at least i wasnt at the back of the pack for once! (ay liz? :bleh:)

Catch y'all next time! :niceone:

[EJK]

I was stuck at work! Argh! lol

[TOTO]

Hey guys gad a great ride today with one small exeption - all those one lane bridhges, that was my real Down for the day :rofl:

Ok ok , so I was the noob that binned :) I'm really happy that my gear held out so well and I'm glad I sacraficed $160 pants instead on priceless knee :) Thank you all for being so supportive and helpful, And holding up traffic whil I was picking by daling from the ground :) In a way I'm kind of glad i had that bin with 30km/h rather than have it later with 100km/h. It taught me some valluable lessons - I'm not Vallentino Rossi (yet), observe other peoples lines more and learn from them and last but not least, If not sure about a corner SLOW DOWN, NOT LEAN DOWN LOL :)

All in all good day. Will buy new pants tomorrow, and will pay a visit to bike shop to make all mechandrics in the brike are all good and after that a visit to the stray painter place to sand out and respray the fairing. Should be all good.:niceone:

So thanks again Kittihawk for the ride and everyone elce - nice to meet you all on such a great day. hope we ride together again soon.:clap:

Be Safe and don't bin(if you can help it :whistle:)

P.s Uploading some pics now...comin in a few mins :)

[TOTO]

Photos from today :) not many but brom next time I start bringing my camera to every ride :)

[Badger8]

Cheers for the pics Toto.
Glad you're okay and your gear held up well, and good to see you're learning from it and taking it in your stride.
And remember, Rossi had to start somewhere too! (Somehow doubt he slid it 32 feet down woodcocks, but you get my point :) )

And WHAT IS IT with everyones obsession with getting their knee down on my GN? :lol: (i approve of course :yes:)

[TOTO]

I was confused when we rode into town and went past the pub to stop on the side of the road at the exit of town, probably should've spoken up :Oops:

And it was awesome sitting in behind you through some of the twisties in woodcocks, hearing you open the throttle out the back of corners :drool: Almost needed a new pair of pants after that! :sweatdrop



Yahhh yahhh yahhh
