I was wondering where you were.

Ive got the ENTIRE ride on video.

after a quick look its very shakey though. which makes the editing easy. just use the non-wobbly bits.

SPEAKING of Wobbly bits

OH but otherwise. Awesome ride. two people went into the gravel but came out ok,. I got one of them on the bike - cam.

I had a few close calls on the way down but I was hella lucky.

I need a stiff drink after that though

*edit. camera footage is nigh-unwatchable

all shakes.
It _has_ worked better in the past

Back about an hour ago (went SH1 back), I thought there was 3 minor spills? Two by the same guy though.

Yea twas a good ride apart from the gravel

(Still glad I went) - I think I did reasonably well considering I have done so few km's. Got alot more work to do with my cornering. Don’t know what to do about the damage - Looking at it the Right Fairing will have to be totally replaced and a respray because of the different colour my bike is. Front Faring well its will need at least painting and a little bit of plastic welding. Ohh and then there is the helmet that got scratched both on the visor and the helmet is self. Least I did not get damaged (this time)

.
Any suggestions on wether I should claim this under insurance for what has been done? – Need to find out what me excess is…

If someone can shove the pics up that would be good.

Sorry to hear it dan. What your parents say??

Looks like you others had fun.......

BASTARDS

**bugjuice** · 14th May 2005, 17:17

dan, that sucks! Don't let Feint see this!!
might not be worth all the trouble claiming it on the insurance. Call a couple of places for farings and check out www.justfairings.co.nz to see if they have what you need. As for spraying it up, I'm sure some people can recommend somewhere that can help you out there..
what other damage is there? What happened? You ok?

Maybe it was a bit of both ie his Xbox wanted to lose wieght.

Looks like y'all had fun and from what I've seen of Pyrocam's vids looks like a perfect road for a nice ride. Have to make sure I get out on it sometime.

I hada great time, first road ride in MONTHS!!! MR was the rider of the day (surprise surprise) and my front tyre is shagged (hence why i started getting slow and slower as the day went on....

Great turn out (40 odd bikes)

AND wicked to see Vladi again

been ages since i have ridden with you, it was good to have a 3 way battle with you and MR
