Labour Day Warkworth/Wellsford run

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Meet at Shell Westgate @ 9.30, ride off at 9.45.
SH26 is well frequented by the defenders of the public good so riding pace will be adjusted accordingly.
Looks like it'll be a great day, I've got the morning off (until 1.30 or so) and the Ninja is pleading for a ride tomorrow :chase:

I thought u were bein smart n leadin ol ginga off on a wild goose chase :blank:

[DIN PELENDA]

I bin it got home with no back brakes. bloody diesel spill ,but i had a good day:banana: got some grief from my wife:argue: :spanking:for not going to ZOO with her and kids but I was more concern about my Yamaha I love her more then my wife .If I drop my wife on ground like that I be lock up:Police: but my bulletproof,beautiful R1 just get me home no problems:first:

[MarkH]

Well, I had heaps of fun - it was good to get the scooter out and have a decent ride. On a day like today ya gotta ride!

[MarkH]

I bin it got home with no back brakes. bloody diesel spill ,but i had a good day

There wasn't a lot of diesel there, you musta just put a wheel in the wrong place as you were lent over, lucky it was so low speed - a faster bin woulda done so much more damage. That diesel is some slick shit when you put a wheel on it!

I hope your brakes aren't too expensive to fix - at least it was the back one, you probably get over 90% of braking force from the front anyway. Take care.

Is the first roundabout after shell wastgate one before hill sorry don,t know road.

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Is the first roundabout after shell wastgate one before hill sorry don,t know road.

As you turn left from SH16 onto Old North Rd it's the roundabout b4 going uphill into the first of the twisties, although we were on our way back from the ride.
He must have hit the thin streak of oil/diesel like a bullseye, it was on the outside line near the kerb - lost the back end of the bike and over she went.
Hardly any damage to the bike, and the big bugger didn't put a hole in either himself or the road either!!!

[Cr1MiNaL]

Awesome ride, what beautiful weather, hot sunny and blue skies! A legal pace most of the way... lucky the cops had their hands full as I grabbed a handfull of brakes after passing that white car haha. My rear was wiggling all over the show!

Bring on Summer !!!

Din Plenda's bin doesn't even count as a legit bin, no damage and I hardly saw it...
The Apex Predator is fukin fast mate, takes off like a rocket ! I'm trying to keep Schnappy's front wheel on the ground and ur off into the distance lol
Mark I was so happy to c ur bike, and you kept pace so well, reminded me of my old 150cc automatic I used to have back in the day (although urs is a lot flasher)... good memories for me.

C u guys arnd

YR64L.

[DIN PELENDA]

Thanks for that Boss yeah we were going slow so I stay in pattern following Raj, was not cutting roundabout so i stay outside and took me by surprise but is ok from now i`m cutting straight across roundabout.

[Cr1MiNaL]

Just don't do what Biggles08 did :cool:

What did my friend do and where is he ?

[BIGBOSSMAN]

He binned and his bike (and himself) ploughed into a flower bed/roundabout after an ATNR. Quite good at flower arranging is Biggles, and he's turned his ZX6R into a race bike for Clubmans/F2 so we won't see him on a road bike any time soon.
Here's a picture of his latest girlfriend. Purdy aint she???

Many talents has Biggles08... He's quite good at riding into things... where 'things' could be defined anywhere from towbars to flower beds...

Sad but true - it was a rim job that went too far. And bikeless08 is a much better name for him now he has a severe case of Rossi-itis...

Carried on up SH16 (didn't fancy Woodcocks with a front tyre only 10Km's old and a first time pillion as well) to Wellsford, then saw you again heading North on SH1 (towards Wellsford) :niceone:

Yep that surcharge gets you every time. Not to mention they don't carry a very good range of drinks unless you are a rum drinker. I personally don't like the place they are over priced and i don't think there food is that nice.

[MarkH]

and i don't think there food is that nice.

The pizza bread was quite good and not too terrible a price even with surcharge.

[Max Preload]

They shouldn't need public holiday surcharges with prices like that...
