Should be ok, sadly I come with alot of really weird shit like a wheelchair and a shower chair

But in answer to your question, we will have room to take bags for people.

You were supposed to have basic handling skills before you got your L

Looks like Harris has dropped out due a to lack of self control so yeah sure.
109 in a built up area?...what the hell was he thinking?
Any crap like that on this ride and the rider concerned will be ...asked to leave.

after receiving 50 lashes with a liquorice boot lace.

I would just like to mention my adventures yesterday, over the Mangamukas. The road is in good nick & I think they have managed to squeeze a couple more corners in. A word of caution, though. Do not try to get your pegs down on Dual purpose adventure tires......

if you want to keep your sphincter un-puckered. Summers comin & it's beautiful oop north.

but it sure did not feel like if for me when on my first pootle around royal oak roundabout

**tnarg** · 25th October 2011, 11:35

I now need a new rear tyre after the RWC finals

. I thought dirt bike tyres were expensive. Hopefully sort out this week.

**ajessep** · 25th October 2011, 14:36

That changed at the beginning of the month. All L platers can do 100. But Maha will probably keep us to 80ish as normal.

You wont be getting a knee down on this ride. Unless I forget to put my foot down at a stop again.....

Read post #1..all of what you need to know is there.
And the speed question...80-100kph.
I have a few more ride rules to be adhered to and will post them up later.
