    Yes was a nice day for a ride, enjoyed it too on the BF run.

    The grandmas and grandpas met at the appointed place and time and we set off. Keeping the group together was nigh on impossible, it would have been easier to herd feral cats!

    XR Johnny didn't join us as he is nursing hurt feelings ! Something about having a girls bike. But seven happy cardigan wearers tootled off down HW 50, and across to Patangata where we enjoyed ginger beer in the shade of the trees, before heading up Middle Rd and back to ours for a coffee.

    A lovely relaxed ride, lots of laughs, perfect weather, great company....we must do it again!
    excellant day! great company , bit further a field next time . Perhaps lunch by a river somwhere.

    We would never condone that sort of behaviour on one of our rides.
    Unofficially, a certain ZX10 rider reckoned he was close...had to be a bit of speedo error involved, since a 750 rider (with pillion) was keeping him company...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I bet the cardies were flapping in the breeze at that speed.
    Unless they were done up of course.

    Carefull John, you'll have to move up a group or two.

    Ah, I was referencing a much earlier event. A hosting of the KB clan's mid-winter Turangi bash...when they came over here to escape the foul weather there.
    As for yesterday's ride...if one was to take everyone's individual speeds, and add them together, one may end up with an answer somewhat close to 300.

    We weren't that slow! Just most of us did not exceed the speed limit by as much as you did!!!

    slow and leasurely my socks......

    if it was your group that was "quietly" going over the seaview road just befor lunch yesterday, I think i want a new definition of "slow and leasurely".
    At one stage i had the wick open to a leasurely 170 (Not km/h officer ) without a chance of getting close to the backmarkers...............

    Not us!
    You obviously did not read the first post...it detailed our ride...with a departure time of 12.30!!
    Thanks for your input though

    Umm........that was us mate on the Burger Fuel ride.
    I thought that it was a reasonably cruisy ride actually.

    But we are the Mega Ballistic group afterall.

    I saw you, caught up with you somewhere and you waved us past. Blue bike yours.

    Hell, maybe everyone was waving us thru.

    Good day for it tho, and nothing wrong with yellow bikes.
