Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

[Nzpure]

meetimg point?
To state a point now would be rather difficult, as there will be bikes everywhere,
but I suggest as close to the wharehouse stationary on whitmore street.

Theres a warehouse stationary on whitmore street? well pick the place if you lads want to meet up somewhere and post a time up ill be there.

[brp]

Just as well checked this thread out again thought it was pac n slave the meeting point


Nothing to be concerned about this group ride - well staggered bikes sitting on 80 to 100

Last similar ride I went on only rebel was a fellow kb'er on a large cubed old skool yamaha with no licence

[brp]

Yeah the Warehouse Stationary directly opposite the South City Mall NZ Pure (Back wall of the carpark)

Meet 12 PM Eh ? 1 hour longer enough to be standing in a carpark ?

well, I am so insecure about riding in big groups of riders who have been riding in groups for many years that I will meet at BK with a group of learners who have only been on the road a matter of days in comparison and ride with them because they are going to be so much safer and organized than the Ulysses club who have done this for many years this insecurity I will boast about so will gladly avoid large group ride to ride with learners and noobs!

I will be riding with the dangerous group from South City
I will give my $10 donation and receive a badge
I will ride to little river and spend some time at the event there
I will also be riding on tho Akaroa if the weather is good
If I an riding at a pace that is slow when you catch up with me, then pass me and keep going
If I am riding at a pace that I catch up with you I will pass you and keep going
I ride to what I think is correct for the conditions.

See you at South City, Little River or Akaroa if the sun is shinning.

The main things are to enjoy the day, have fun, and be a safe rider, all three are up to you as an individual

Luv it Subi lol truth be known I just want a badge to add to my small collection and then get on my bike and enjoy the freedom..see u at the warehouse stationary

Don't know about these Kiwibikers, seem like a dodgy lot ...

Im probably going to get shit for this:
Anyone heading back over Gebbies Pass towards town might have noticed that dodgy patch of gravel on the corner before the hairpin, well it got the best of me. I ended up low siding and spinning of into the fence.
The bike isnt damaged too badly and was able to ride it home but it will still cost a bit to fix.
Someone who was nice enough to pull over who lived a little down the road seemed to believe a gravel truck had spilled some of its load there the day earlier.
I rang *555 and reported it but im wondering if you all think its worth chasing after the council for not keeping the road clear or just sucking it up.

I saw that one coming on the way home and crawled over it but it's in a really bad spot. Glad you're ok!
That road is well used, I would imagine the traffic would disperse the gravel in a day or two, definitely before the council ever got there. The council probably has a fair bit on their plate atm and we all know they can't multitask!
What happened to the bike?

[Subike]

you mean that patch of grey cement gravel from the back of a concrete mixer?
stood out like dogs balls.
Im sorry, but that was visible a long way back from the corner, reading it as a potential hazard was easy
Please never take for granted the condition of a road, always scan for hazards.
In saying that, Glad you and the bike are OK,
Always presume there is going to be junk on the roads around the bays,
Remember they service a large residential population,
Cagers like overloading trailers and have things fall off that we have to avoid.

[Asher]

I did see it and slowed for it but not enough i guess.

The bikes not too bad; bend bars, indicators, mirrors, screen, bend footpeg, bent screen frame, scratched and cracked fairings.....

very much worth reporting,
one rider already come to grief in the daylight on it,
a rider tonight or in the early morning may not get off as lightly.
Let along someone in a car also sliding on it , ending in a head on coming the other way.
