Wednesday Night Ride

[LittleAngel]

1999 one in cromwell. guy meant to have got new battery, and get it running( been sitting for year). Organised load to queenstown on sunday, so I can view. Now the bugger not returning calls or txts

Ohhh that's a bit rude huh?? Hope he returns your calls before you head home!!! We have always had good fortune when buying bikes... esp my new one!!

Hope you guys get Rummie a bike soon!!

[SpeedMonger]

God knows... I suppose it might be worth it depending on the flavor of bun. I've said my bit, others will say theirs, at the worst we're on bikes, we can just ride away, eh?

Maybe I should start up my own group: Motorcyclists Investigating Fast Fun Every Day - Old Farts Fringe (MIFFED-OFF). Any takers?

Yep count me in, I become more eligible every day.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

My thoughts (for what they are worth) his phone battery might???? be flat. You sound like you are proceeding with caution (unlike my last bike purchase) sounds like more of the same needed. (caution that is)

Good luck I hope things go well and you are not being jerked around!!!!!!!!!!

thanks. arse has just relisted and offered a "fixed price offer"..... was indeed a set up. shocking!
not sure whether paul will look at it while he's there or not - seems to be a lot of mucking around

What a jerk!!! Some are just out to rip others off eh? He has done no favours for the sale of his bike eh? Especially if he replaced the battery and it went fine, chances are you may well have bought it, now..... well.... Karma in his face!!

Buying a bike shouldn't be that hard eh?

I know of an awesome RF for sale!!

If you do go on the MAG ride (anyone) could you please let me know how things went???????

My son and I went on the MAG ride this morning - Max was leading the troops but refused to wear his little yellow fluorescent jersey , was a great day for a ride to Akaroa (our first) and we got to meet a few more KB'ers.

How many turned up?

What is the purpose of MAGNZ, I don't see what their aim is?

According to their website, "MAG-NZ was formed in late 2009 in direct response to the ACC levy hikes... core principals of equity and fairness for our members, and to our commitment to freedom of choice and self- determination" , basically to fight for the rights of motorcyclists - time will tell whether an organisation like this can get the support of the bikers it wants to represent.

Unfortunately, a lot of the time, apathy sets in (it's always easier to sit back and do nothing) and people generally get "stepped-on" by the powers that be that create laws that are supposed to support and protect us but end up restricting our freedom and choices. Hopefully they can drum up enough support to protect the rights of bikers - it will be interesting to see how they progress.

There were about 15 (?) bikers on the run today - I think a lot less than was expected.

Good trip (at least I think so) - certainly can't complain about the weather, and good turn out - about 15 from memory, a couple from the WNR (even RetroQueen) ... might have a few newbies for the WNR too, some definitely interested in doing more regular rides.

Today me and Ted went for a ride over the Port Levey to Little River road on the old bike. Helped a really strange young-middle aged couple out who had boiled their car near the summit, and were blocking the road. Which resulted in me missing the MAG group as it passed through the Little river township.
Had a nice chat with a bunch of uber sports bike riders in Little River, spoke to one attractive young woman in white leathers on a white Duke about carrying dogs on bikes (who has 2 staffy dogs), who was very pleasant to chat with.
Made it back home just after 1400 to find Mr Plug waiting outside with his two paw power mates, for afternoon tea on the upper deck and a tour of my gun cabinet.
