    Oh I see, what a shame that is. Well I would be interested in organizing and leading some rides I ride every weeken usually unless there is bad weather. I can also do some weekday rides perhapse but I think weekends would be best as most people are free then. I would prefer in organizing rides with other sport bike riders who are able to keep up, but won't discriminate against any learners who wish to tag along. I'll be in touch about where and when, and thanks for youre reply.

    hahaha didn't see that last part till after I posted. Sweet, will try and get a ride organized as soon as this rain stops.

    I was thinking of going North to Wellsford, there are some good twisties up there and can usually have some good fun as long as there aren't too many cars around.

    It's nice to see that there is actually a decent amount of interest in group rides

    Suggesting that a sports bike would be needed to keep up was probably asking for it, although that's mostly just Jafa being Jafa...

    I'd be keen for a bit of a ride some time, too. Should have the bike back on the road soon, have been missing it pretty bad.

    Edit: Jafa - that indicator I got off you met an untimely demise thanks to an old lady in CP36... Sigh.

    However many you want. Can send out a notice the day before but people might be busy, 2 weeks seems to work quite well but can't guarantee the weather. One option to put out a preliminary date 2 weeks in advance and confirm closer when we are reasonably certain it's not going to tornado on us...

    keen as also, and maybe if there are a few guys with big bikes, we can form a quik and a slow group (for the learners) and have a few planned catch up points

    Just a little heads up, since you are a fast rider, watch out for "Squiggles". He is the president of the club (also the current SK, Street King). He is nicknamed "Squiggles" because that's how he ride through the twisties. Fast.
    Defeat him in a race (if you can) and hopefully, you'll claim the title Street King.

    ...and who knows? You might become the next president of Auckland Uni SMC.

    Good luck.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
