Thats what the mechanic said. In the wet though I don't like to sacrifice 25% of my braking power!

Especially on a 15 year old bike, pulling up 150+kgs

Oh well all good now. All set. I'm in for overcast, fine or intermittent showers!

How about all us westies meet up at waterview caltex (opposite Motat)? 845am?

Can't believe the ORGANIZER of this event can't go the whole route because some "girlie he's taking wants to be home early"

If, as you claim, she is just a good mate she shouldn't tag along if she can't do the whole thing. And if she is a serious prospect, what future do you have if the riding restrictions are already being laid down?

Look mate, you picked the route, the date, and the girl. Sort your priorities out or stay home.

aww cmon man!!! dont do this to me... dont put me in this position.. she is definatly not a prospect, JUST a friend, but like, a good one at that and i said she could come.. aww man, argh, i was also considering dropping out earlier and heading to katikati as her car is left there still having the engine switch done and i was going to give the dude a hand...feck.. maan, i wanna do the whole ride so bad! and p.s I am NOT the organiser... we all just randomly met up on a very common ride route etc... :  bah..

I'm sorry KK, but the man does have a good point.



Anyone else heading from Hamilton/Cambridge area to Kopu?

[Motu]

[Mitch]

BB is right though unless there is a prospect there and a definite "reason" for heading back early i'm sure she'll understand. Hell i have to say no to haning out with mates all the time to go riding.

shitshitshitshit shit!! haha, damn, feck, well firstly, Mitch you must come!!! secondly, how come aff-man can leave early without abuse? and thirdly.. hmm damn, well i wont make her pull a sicky @ all, bad work ethic, so that only leaves leaving her back... thats harsh man.. so harsh, but i spose it kinda can be done, argh im sure she was looking forward to it, but yeah she may wanna pull a sicky but i sure as hell wont let her! sickys are there ONLY for racing!!!   BTW NOVEMBER 16th is the middle day of my FIVE DAY WEEKEND!! shot eh... one lieu day for working Labour day (+double time) in the middle of 2 sets of days off... fuckme my boss must want me to race or somthing!

[Motoracer]

How about her comming with you and going back with aff-man then? I wouldn't mind but I don't have a pillion seat, damn single seaters! Or wont she trust strangers?

Long Range Forecast

Saturday:
For the North Island, mostly fine during the day, but cloud increasing in northern and western districts in the afternoon and rain developing there from evening.

hmmm. Even tho this is funny(watching you toiling over this decision), man I'd never put a ride(or peer pressure) before my good friends. Stand up for what's important to You. Man I'd take her halfway(whitianga/Whangamata) & come back. You both get a good ride, She gets to work, You build the friendship, the kb-ers gets to give you shit for the next month, the universe returns to normal.

[Coldkiwi]

I'm with 750.

Yes we will give you a hard time (and rightly so) but if she's your 'good friend' then spend time with her.There will be another ride soon enough and riding solo is a pretty self absorbing past time any way.

(don't worry, I wouldn't tell this pack of mongrels if I was ever taking a prospective date out on a ride either.. think of all the crap you'd get... not worth it. Stick with your story about her being a good friend. I won't tell anyone otherwise)

 

 

[bikerboy]

Man , what's all this crap about friends, other rides.?

The dude picked the date to suit him, then checked with us. The thing was his idea to raise money for the site. It's been in the planning for ages.

Now what kind of friend says I want to participate in this event with you but i can't take the time off work on that day, knowing well in advance the date, so you can't fully enjoy it or I'll be hurt, boohoo hoo.

The girl should have sorted herself out, and if not capable, KK should be Man enough to say, sorry babe but I organized this and SHOULD see it through, sorry if you can't go but there will be other rides!

End of storey, mate.

A real friend would not put you in such a situation and if they did, certainly wouldn't pressure you into backing out. Shes got him twisted round that finger tight as a guitar string and he isn't EVEN dating her.
