Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

**maxf** · 18th December 2011, 17:15

Yep - good ride, finally getting some of my right-turn mojo back, seat re-cover hasn't fallen apart either so that's good too...

BTW - sorry for scooting past at LR - just didn't want to end up behind that pickup towing the grotty little boat again, after having been stuck with them all the way from top of the Hill...

Somehow I don't think I'd be allowed out for a ride next Sunday

so I'm glad this one was a goer! Don't think Weds would be a good idea either - work breakup day with associated liquid consumption IIRC... although I might be tempted if the weathers as good as Jimbo is making out - anyone any ideas for where?

Yes you could have helped me pick the Honda up after I dropped it .................. again

Was the Honda making sure gravity was still working?

You ok? No knee injuries, by any chance?

I'm keen to go on WNR, I just don't want to risk taking the old TS185 seeing it's not registered

I'll have to wait till I get my GSXR600

Sideways airbags? As long as you didn't do a Donna & let it fall ON you

... Could always be a BMW too; I'm fairly sure the GB isn't 270kgs? I learnt a couple of these bikes ago, if they start going, you jump clear, ain't no human stopping a tip once its on

It was raining steadily out here in the boonies, hence my question. No reply, so no go.

Will be taking bike in tomorrow though.

Good point about the break up do's, will have to be extra vigilant. Our's isn't till Friday!
