Guys I think we should aim to leave around 8.30. Don't want to miss the main group at AB.

OK you all know I wont be on this ride, and the reason why I wont be doing it.

But can one of the experienced riders who really knows 22, please wait at the corner where I, Feint, Limmy and MLCrisis went wrong (we took the high road instead of the low road) We ended up coming out at the back of Huntly.
So that no one gets lost and then you all have a head count at each stop.

Please ride at your own pace and don't try to keep up with the faster riders.
The faster ones will always wait for you at each stop.
Enjoy riding 22 and have fun doing it.

Ride safe and keep on smiling.

I dont suppose you could lend me that sheepskin then LOL.

my arse got mighty sore by the time I was back in puke. as you proberly read it was quite a day for me (and SC and BJ and the rest)

actually. Im thinking about stuffing a small pillow down my cordura's this time. hope it helps.

**pyrocam** · 12th May 2005, 21:20

actually. Im bringing my bike-cam this time. since im going to be at the back (slowest bike of the bunch) if anyone would like anything 'not recorded' when im behind you then let me know. of course there is stuff on the cam that I will be deleting when arriving at the end anyway so if you want you can get a copy of anything before it gets deleted.

I am having some troubles with my firewire at the moment (if you want something) worst case scenario its going to be TV quality at 15fps and no sound.

or I lend the tape/camera to BJ or someone who has the setup.

If anyone thinks that I shouldnt even bother bringing a cam (I got harrased at the orewa BP for having one by some slightly wanky bikers) perhaps harrased isnt the right word. perhaps just advice that it was silly (Im only saying that incase it was a fellow KB'r)

oh dont worry. I mean. I appreciate the advice. but ive been up to wellsford and back with it on and ive learnt to be a mostly good boy.

ok ill fix it up and get it going. for this. It should be an awesome video although all people are gonna see is the rear of other bikes lol

edit upon re-read: wait. are you refering to severe damage to new equipment or the effect it has upon your riding confidence

Like see what happens when people buy new suzukis?! they fall over pretty soon after that, Zapf and Riff Raff come to mind, due to the fact that new and shiny things love to meet gravel and tarseal!

oh and when its on film evryone can watch over and over how yu make a silly mistake and drop it in to some trees aye Bruce
