Looks like good riding weather coming up too - now those bikes of yours will be getting lonely, and since it is Christmas, and good will to all man etc, I'd consider putting myself out and riding one for you, only if you filled the tank

Have a good trip - and remember KB is a 24 hour site!!!!!!

It's pretty shitty to invite people along and leave them feeling uncomfortable. The onus really is on the organisers to make attendees feel welcome; precisely the same etiquette that'd apply if you invited somebody into your home.

Anyway, I'm not going to get into an argument wth you about it. I don't know what your involvement in those rides is but I made an honest observation based on one particular night. It might just be something for you to think about. I suppose once you get to a certain size it's possible for it to become a bit of a clique - not to need to bother with new arrivals - which is largely what's wrong with most established groups. It's unfortunate but it happens.

Take it easy and ride safe.

Glad it was a good one for you and it sounds like a great turn out.

A good ride to Little River last night. Nice to meet you Jim & Brent. I know Xmas is a busy time, hopefully another ride next Weds before I head away for a long earned holiday.

Hi Molly, hope you're having fun in the cold. I just got back from a week in Picton/Nelson. Took the Thunderbird away on it's first long trip (Mrs tookthe car). Went fantastic. Got bloody soaked coming back through the Lewis today though, but dried out in the nor-wester from Hanmer onwards.
Will be keen for a ride this Weds. Any others back from holiday keen for a shortish ride.

I'm looking forward to a blistering hot day, all to myself, and a nice ride to, say, Hanmer or that Fairle / Geraldine road.

TT circuit is all but impossible at the moment but that doesn't seem to put off some. Can't believe there are people out there on bikes. Bloody nuts.
