    enjoyed the ride last night - mrs leopardskin did too - her first ride on the back on ninja - another bonus was the vastly improved mileage with wifey on the back - how does that work?? we were late home from work so left our place at 6.30 thinking we'd see you's on the way but guess Evans slowed you lot down and we got to Little River pub...and was outnumbered by the locals! not for long tho
    interesting things happen above 10,000 rpm.....not if you have a ZRX tho

    I think it was Cruza, followed by Mr hornet who overtook me (i slowed down and let you pass me ) on the way back to Chch and Cruza almost tamed a Mother duck and her young ones, Cruza then braked quite hard, with mr hornet just behind him.

    I think it was you two

    Yep . just had time for controlled brake and swerve, great having confidence in riding buddy following thru , otherwise probably few ducklings short about now by taking easy route.
    Mustn't have been my night , had cat in halswell road run out in front of me , stop, then start leaping in air after moths...........bugger the approaching bike lol .

    Hmm sorry about that Gibbo, I wondered if that was you, was bit of a ducking surprise to all, but crisis averted.

    I thought that cat was having a fit in the middle of the road, darting all over the place.....

    Nah, your alright man. Just was an interesting moment there on the way home. Sounds like most people had a weird moment or two, cats spazzing on the road, ducks crossing, missing wives, visors, wallets and 2 people coming off bikes at low speeds.

    All I can say is, bring on next week.

    The Wednesday night ride is always an adventure, one way or another.

    This weeks map:

    http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&so...3,1.755066&z=9

    Let me know if this looks right, I have just had a big glass of Wiskey and well, it was a very big glass.

    This is a great open road ride for beginners, it is a mix of motorway and 'B' roads. If you have any concerns about riding back into town at night, just let us know we can put you into a pod of riders heading back into town after dinner at the cafe.

    I won't be along next week, have a fashion show prep to do, me being the model, this could be interesting! So have a great and safe ride guy!
    I know who I can ... and whom can't ...

    No questions yet ...from the person concerned yet ... as to what damage was done. Apologies at the time ... but within an hour ... stated, it wasn't his fault ???

    Looks and sounds good.

    You still interested in the Summit Road Sunday??? If so what time?? Or better yet ring me Saturday night.
    And remember ...... if it hasn't got one of "Uncle Flip's" prosthetic kickers it isn't a real motorbike!!!
