**justsomeguy** · 24th March 2005, 22:59

A mate of mine is visiting from Aussie so I wont be able to ride along and besides my bike is busted up........

'

I MUST GET IT FIXED BEFORE THE END OF NEXT WEEK. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP -- IT IS LEAKING OIL BADLY.....I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WHEN I LOOKED.

But I will come down in my cage to meet you guys. Introduce my mate to you'll as I've been telling him all about you guys

And take some pics of you fellars...... at the gas station....... cos I doubt I'd be able to catch up with you's on the road.

And none of you like a cage keeping you company anyway.......
So see you there....... if only to just say hi

Ah yes, but it's not about how much power it delivers but how it delivers it. In the case of a Guzzi, it's delivered in style.

I'll see what happens, I might be up for a blat on Old North et al - I recall what happened on my last MR organised ride down 22, so I might give that option a pass..

Oh, and I'll have the triple R CBR there. The kick start conversion kit has really made a difference to the sprung weight..

Mate, it's a monster machine with infinite potential...

If any of you guys are keen, there's a cross country on just past Wellsford (www.rmcc.co.nz) - nah, not to take your bikes on, just something to go look at for a bit (plus a good ride up there). I'd suggest there's some gravel involved getting to wherever they're holding it, though.

Please don't misunderstand me people.

I didn't say that the ride was going to be wild. I just meant road riding generally has the danger element involved in it more than racing on the track, so it'll just get my mind more prepared for the track. Because I think I will be more prepared to face my fears that way. I am just going to do my own thing, just like I do on every other rides.

It shouldn't matter what speed I go at to the others. I stop at intersections anyway and don't mind waiting at all. Only when I come across some one with a similar pace, I enjoy riding together.

I just like group rides cause you get company at the stops.

I am working on Saturday so if any of yous want to come with me, please do make your way to the Papakura Autobhan at 9, for a coffee before a great day's riding.

Didn't mean anything in a condescending way........ it's just that you aren't exactly the slowest rider out there.

And I wondered how appropriate it would be for a group of newbies tagging along with a racer out to get some practice.

Anyway either case...... I'll only be there at the start......see you's soon

So now your saying that I am slow eh??

Jokes bro! lol I didn't take offence or anything man. It's all cool. I was just sending a message across to everyone to clear any misunderstandings etc etc.

See ya Sunday man!
