Kapiti Weekend Rides

[Ratti]

Neat pix Katie. Doncha just luv AJ's new wildman look?

I thought it was decent of the Trumpy's to allow the rest of us along on the Triumphs Big Day Out

[Gone Burger]

And just to cap off a lovely day...

Got home to find the sealed papers from Court in my mail box! Yippee!

For those who have missed it, ive been fighting since the day after my Husbands funeral last year to keep our home. His family have supported his adult sons in having me removed from the home and forcing the sale so they can have his money. Well guess what? Do NOT fuck wiv Ratti, Im nice until you get me cornered.

Ahem, anyway. I get to keep our home, buy them out for a very small % of the value of the property. But it's doable.

Anyway, come party to celebrate wiv your ol' mate Ratti. 21st August, pm me for details.

Cheers!

Congrats Faith - most wonderful news - will definately be there to help you celebrate in style!!

did anyone else find that their bike "moved" around a bit???

a couple of times i felt the front move in a different direction to the one i thought i was going...

it did slow me down a bit

[Neshi]

great day, very nice route.

If I remember correctly somebody owned Bucket 'n Bits? I am afraid I am in need of parts..

i hear you nearly had to scrape a buell off your front wheel....

but what happened???

Might have had something to scrape off his undies as well.....

yes. I don't know if the brakelight of the Buell was defective or just so covered in dust that it wasn't visible,
but I didn't see him brake and the distance between us reduced more rapidly than I expected. close call..

on the way back I lost focus. During cornering in an S-curve I looked in my mirror to see if Ben was still there, and the 2nd halve of the corner snuck up on me.
Got caught in the ditch and landed with the bike sideways. brake pedal got bend, some scratches and cracks in plastic pieces..

seems like I just can't keep the bike in one piece...

Sorry to hear that Neshi - hope you made it home ok from there? Was that on the way to the Gladdy? I got worried about you two when i realised you weren't behind us anymore.

And about the mini - it nearly got us all, no exceptions there. I was just thankful to AJ for being a true gentlemen and leaving me that awesome gap to shoot through. Cheers for the kind thought mate, bloody good call!

yea, made it home ok. It was underway to gladstone, but we lost you a long time before that. Just really pissed off at myself for looking in the mirror while cornering.

Glad you're alright mate. Sounds like you guys had an interesting trip back from Castlepoint.

That was a nice ride out there. Sorry for taking off on the way back Ratti, I felt the urge

I finally got introduced to my reserve tank when I ran out of gas just before Palmerston North.
Had a nice look around ANZA Motorcycles, it was a beautiful sight, all those Triumphs and Harleys. I really wished I was on one of them as I had my throttle fully open just to keep up with traffic!

good to see that you learnt 3 things on the weekend...

one... NEVER look in your mirrors during a corner
two... make sure you have room to panic stop
three... always look ahead

the mini in the middle of the road not moving , should have given you a warning that i may have been slowing... oh, there is nothing wrong with the tail light.. it works.

but hey.. you have learnt important things.. well done!!!!

and Katie.. stop spreading rumours that i am a gentleman... or i will have even more women fighting over me...

It's a hard life being in demand huh AJ? Tough job but I guess someone has to do it

[Ratti]

_STAIN_ has buckets and Bits Google it and you'll find it. Across the tracks from me in Naenae. Glad you are ok Mattias. Heck, i wont ask you again before a ride if you have come off recently . No point jinxing the ride eh?

Richard, Im a grown woman I dont need babysitting. Take off whenever you need to. Right now Im happy to pootle quietly along on my own.

AJ...so does this mean Ive got competition for your affections? Im gutted mate, gutted. YOu miserable slapper..we all know what happens to slappers eventually.

That few metres of slush was fun wasnt it? COuld have been embarrassing

[ajturbo]

OK you two... stop hassling me....

[Ratti]

Hassling? I like that. I'm gutted and crying into my drink and you tell me off for hassling you.
