did I miss something??



And you didn't wave or say hi? Sad..

Was a suprisingly good day for a ride. I rode down Highway 22 but then had to turn off to go to Ngaruawahia to refuel. Rode on to Pirongia before heading back to Auckland via the main boring highway.

I take it that you're keen then? Would be good to have some company on a ride for once. Last few I've been on have been all by my lonesome.

Can chat about timing tomorrow at SASS. Others are also welcome! I'm happy to keep a pace that works for everyone. So long as you're okay with me stopping for a stretch every 60-90 minutes. My seat isn't that flash on my gluteus maximus.

I was in the car laden with kids. Went to test ride a bike.

I'll be there this week. I don't have a preference for what I want to practice – I'm easy

Not so sure about the easy part as a waitress hasn't been able to get your attention

Ooh. ST? Goldwing? Hayabusa?

I said that I was easy. She's playing hard to get with the lack of chocolate syrup hearts lately..

Long ride tomorrow night as we have no balls.

So empty tank and full bladder. Hang on........

If dry we will have an extra observer along.

So chose somewhere to go. Dont leave it to me because I will find the hardest route.

Saw a dashing young fulla speed by on Fri (I recognised ur helmet first and then the sleek silhouette of ur bike) and give an amused Chica a wave-difficulty rating maybe 6...but totally appreciated and tickled to have seen someone...saw Kartik too as I was leaving the car park facility. Och, Some friends and I went for a pootle round the Coro loop Sat-alright, but lots of cages about though. Came back via Miranda, Mangatangi and up through Hunuas. Meh, I can't make tomorrow nights SASS, work Christmas DO and secret Santa.

Now for something totally random:
Question seeking the wisdom of others...anyone been in the situation of lusting after a bigger bike whilst having a perfectly capable bike at home that they still owe money on...currently coveting another shiny pretty thing with torque but question the illogical nature of this unholy fandangle. Um kickin round Aukz over Christmas...so could be up for a pootle depending when etc, that's if you're not adverse to having a tractor ride along.

I dont think i wrote anything about FORMAL TRAINING.

Just my ideas about asking newbies to think about things which arent obvious, like what happoens when you get a flat tyre, what remedies do they have on board the bike, unless they carry a spare. Road surfaces and what happens in the heat and wet eg Tar bleed. IE experienced riders pointing out things for newbies to think about.

If I am stepping on toes, I can go elsewhere for my riding, plenty of other MC out there

No toes have been stepped on!!!!!

SASS is not a Motorcycle Club. It is a mentoring evening for riders.
Anyone can belong to a motorcycle club and is welcome to come along to SASS or NASS.

I apologise in advance if I have stepped on any toes that are smaller than mine.

Saw a dashing young fulla speed by my bus on Fri...too tired to ride that day after a week of late nights. Och, Some friends and I went for a pootle round the Coro loop Sat-alright, but lots of cages about though. Can't make tomorrow night, work Christmas function. Question seeking the wisdom of others...anyone been in the situation of lusting after a bigger bike whilst having a perfectly capable bike at home that they still owe money on...currently coveting another shiny pretty thing with torque but question the illogical nature of this unholy fandangle.

Depends if said bike will make you happier. You can handle any bike you want to. You do need to tell us what it is or better still show pics.

Does it get much bigger than a Harley?

Shame you wont be there for my special observer coming along.

[Maakz]

Fiscally a risk. Happier-it'll make me ecstatic until I think about the logic of what I've done and have buyers remorse. This...http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...f-fat-bob.html If I could get out of this Do-I would, but alas, it feels like one of those things one must do. Keen to know who the special observer is? Hmmm if no ones up for a BBQ at theirs for Chrissy/NY gathering, perhaps we could ride somewhere for a SASS munch out. Just a thought...

Looks very nice, but I know little about Harleys. It has more power then? Your current bike is stunning so its not second best. And ive not seen another like it.

Hint, observer will be on my bike. That should make it obvious.

Im always up for a ride, but I should really do some Xmas shopping.....

[Maakz]

1690 CC Fat Boy model, sleeker, better on long runs is all. That and it's Amber Whisky orange. Agent Orange mark 2. I like my ride just fine, but have a touch of chrome lust, covetousness and prob CC envy. A phase that got indulged with day dreaming one could say. I have an aversion to being broke and landing myself "innit" just because I fall in love with a new chrome pony. Haven't done my Chrissy shopping yet either...hate the shopping hubs and desperation and trying to battle through the marauding hoards of people buying up large.

Question-how does one get melted rain pants off chrome mufflers and tar flecks off the tin? Have tried the boot scuff stuff, pot scrub stuff...want to get it off but without scratching my poor bikes mufflers, which is looking well and truly broke in. Some threads mention oven cleaner? Eekkk...

Im known for my hate of shopping.

Tar? I read that butter does it. Not sure about rain pants though.
