Wasn't exactly a 'Tiptoe through the tulips'. I know we weren't going that quick through to Tikokino though, 'cos Hinny passed me on the ST1100!!???

Sure was. My pillion was looking a little wide eyed by the time we got back to Taradale.

Great pics KoroJ

Was riding like one......must have been under orders from the Grumpy rider with the angry helmet!!??


Are you saying I'm slow?

Heaven forbid Kind Sir!! I was merely commenting what responsible fellows us ST riders are and to have been passed by yourself.....I must have been well within the posted limits!!???

[Tang99]

Well I have been sick for a week since the event but thoroughly enjoyed it even though we seemed to spend hours in the rain, our journey back was dreadful but kinda fun. Adulf did tell me of for being too chipper on the headsets.:niceone:

Look forward to next year and just a big thanks to koruJ and steve for looking after us newbies.

Great weekend. :niceone:

Our regular Thurs. night ride (ATNR) turned to crap this week.
Tuesday night at 10.30 two men in Flouro jackets turned up at my place. Said they had seen me speeding three weeks before and plucked my licence. Last night they targeted our ride and five more are walking!
Be wonderful to think that our riding was the most important criminal activity going on around this neck of the woods.

Yeah you have to wonder about police priorities dont you

28 days initially, and instantly, with a court date later.
Coming at me three weeks later is really taking the piss. No chance of refuting it at the time. Check GPS log. View radar reading. FFS. I was following a 250 cruiser and with full knowledge he was behind me! :buggerd:
Accuser,Judge, Jury and Executioner are all the same person.
What can you do?
Get a dirt bike I guess is one option... or just go fishing. Can't work so I might as well go fishing. Need to hone my skills there. Who wants to hire a guide who can't catch fish himself?

Wife's car was broken into last night. First time since March.
We had ten break-ins in first eleven weeks of this year... and this is supposed to be the flash part of town.
