I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

Yeah, good ride thanks guys, and nice to meet a few newcomers. TA lead us a merry dance at the end.... or did everyone else end up at Ashley?

I did the dance that was planned.
R missed the turn and didn't bother going back.
In a txt he wondered why we didn't catch up.... well it was because he cheated effectively taking a short cut..
I had wondered why no one was marking the corners any more.

My video needs tweaaking and so does my mount for next time.
I can see the tip of my nose through the visor in the side of the picture and it's all tilted which I expected as I couldn't align the camera as level as I wanted.

Overall a very good day no counting the wheel bearing thing for ADV man.

That was a shame, I was really hoping to get a chance to pick your brains about a few things, ADVGD. How's the bike? What happened after you left?

Excellent! I like the first one, a good example of attitudes. ADVGD has just found out his wheel is poked and he's grinning yet, in the back ground, I've only got battery issues for my cameras but I'm looking like I'm forcing them to work through sheer will power and threats of imminent distruction ...

Nah, your nose is pretty straight.

Good ride, good to put some more kb names to faces. A few pics from my camera...

If you click on any of the photos it should take you to all my photos from the ride, you should be able to download the original size photo from smugmug if wanted.

Yeah I turned off the planned route on my GPS after the third or so missed "planned" turn

Was keeping the frontrunners and followers in sight until we hit Rangivegas then trying to keep the two lots in sight resulted in me losing both - I then got on the motorway behind the following lot so didn't feel too bad

Just south of Rangoon when I was freezing my bits off (note to self; when you think it may be time to put the liners back in - do it! do it! do it!), must admit this did flash through my mind "You never, never leave your wingman. Maverick... It's not your flying, it's your attitude. The enemy's dangerous, but right now you're worse. ..."
