Darryn, I think you need to stop using diesel in your bandit. I thought you were going to follow me over Haywards??!! hehehehe........

Diesel Its cheaper than that unleaded stuff you put in yours and if you warm it up its a great cologne
Mate I tried but tonight you were a man possessed and since I have no yearly membership for "get off a ticket" or a "beep beep theres a man ahead with a ticket book who could ruin your night" device I thought better for it
Was a nice ride around the bays but boy its getting dark a little quicker than it use to
Should I remind you that it was me waiting at that intersection (while you and Mark did your own sightseeing tour again) ensuring your presence at the drink stop
What are you doing on the net anyway I thought you still had to negotiate your riding time with your wife
My turn to giggle - hehehe

I thought you wore perfume??!!

I just realised half the rides are seasonal and will be finishing soon anyway. Yes it did get dark earlier. Major bug scrubbing tonight. Just sitting here applying for a job and watching KB spy tick over.

I can see how these rides will become less and less and more weekend focused as summer slips away.

As we left, she asked me who was the guy wearing the perfume.............

I was sitting outside work last night at 7pm, looking at the blue sky, and the sun on the hills and I was thinking Bugger!!!, I should not be here, I should be riding....was a primo night last night....might have to pull a sickie real soon I think!

Thanks all once again for a great ride. I Didn't enjoy the first hour or so, as was getting used to the heavy old Nine, and Grays Road was taken very cautiously, but loved going round the bays, and the blast back, but heard this strange noise in my helmet, Like kind of whistling. Never noticed it before, wasn't going any faster than usual. Any ideas Darryn?

Did notice on the way back that painted on speedo digits don't illuminate from behind, and the bulb in the 0-60mph zone is blown. All good fun.

Yeah it was a good ride over and back. Yet another detour getting lost in the dark, but hey, its all part of the adventure.

Close call with that stock truck changing lanes into my lane. Emergency braked to avoid becoming a burger patty. What is it with me and livestock.... first cows, then sheep, then rabbits and now a whole cattle truck??!!

Good ride last night, timed perfect for the sunset. It dosn't get much better than that. Hope to see some of you tomorrow maybe.

**Gareth51** · 5th March 2010, 21:02

Meet at Waikanae Subway at 8am for those going to the Apiti Scamper tomorrow

Aha but did you get the tune?
Was with one flick of the button and I was in stealth mode. Must have a bolt not polished right. Darn its giving my position away. Will put it in the wind tunnel tonight and fine tune the mighty black beast for this weeks ride
