(Standing on soap box)... The rumours are true! I ran out of gas the other day! :crybaby:

Never again!

Have made a slight change to the routee as after riding even further the other day realised it wasnt too far... As long as we ride at a sensible speed... Nudge nudge... :Pokey:

:Oi:Anyone else coming on this ride sounds like it could be a good one if the weather is goodI'm keen to ride with joo from vegas to tauranga if the road is dry.

you should know ;

1. I havent done a group ride before

2. I don't know this road

3. I'm still getting used to my big (for me) bike. (done about 1100km on it.)

4. edit: I can stay in my own half-lane ;-)

I can generally travel up around the speed limit, and I'm prepared to to what I'm fucking told though, so what say you ?

[TerminalAddict]

Yea I shouldn't be riding it - still havent replaced the shock or the broken indicator - went anticlockwise around the lower Waikato, only had to turn left so didn't need the right hand indicator. Too wet to give it heaps so the poor condition of the rear shock wasn't so much of an issue.
:devil2:

And if I'd crashed in the wet and horrible weather on Saturday, I'm sure one of you fine people would gladly of come to my aid.
As I would for all of you.

Don't ya just love how they stick to the letter of the law"gee ur not from around here are you officer ?" "no." "I didnt't think so, coz our local cop doesn't pick fights and make enemies like this coz he has to live here and work with the community."

Just a wee bit of social engineering to make his day brighter. :Pokey:

DB

[TerminalAddict]

not a legal ticket is it?

there is a grace zone, which I thought was 250 metres from a speed zone change

[smoky]
