It's the same petrol station we were supposed to meet at for the BRONZ course..

Well, without even realising how, I managed to sign up for it, but I do want to come, just have to see if I can get there.

Know the route (by looking at the map), and if I can navigate a pile of spaghetti, and my first trip on a motorway, I'll be there.

Will check tomorrow to see if you pussies are going to still be riding, coz 3 did say rain...

was an interesting ride. Due to a few reasons it didnt quite go as planned but we all had a good day up to wellsford.

On the way back my group when back down the road towards kaukapakapa and took West Coast Road towards Warkworth. Unfortunately about 2km up the road Jay (NSR250) had problems and his bike ended off the side of the road with him not far behind it. Was unrideable, we sorted him out and last i heard he had got a lift home with a nice farmer from just across the road.

Cibby Chick improved heaps, and despite pretty much collapsing in my drive way at the end she said she had an awesome day.

Awesker proved the CBR could cut the mustard, and gotta say it looks mint with that pipe - and he's a cool dude too

Cheers to crashe and sutage for holding up the rear, its always comforting to know that someone is there in case you do manage to cock something up

whens the next one my bikes gonna be fixed on tuesday!

**justsomeguy** · 23rd July 2005, 19:26

Awesome ride Gareth, thanks for organising it......

Sorry for getting lost.... I was leading that pack and was responsible for getting left behind....

Got that thing I left to get after lunch......

Pity about the incident... hopefully it should all be ok eh??

**R6_kid:Me** · 23rd July 2005, 19:27

i may not be doing pleasure riding for a week or two til i get my clutch and shock sorted out. Would be good to see how you ride man, nick was pretty quick and i think the few tips i gave him helped be a bit quicker. When my shock and steering head bearings are sorted i will be able to corner a shitload better, and when my clutch is done i will able to beat him in a straight line.

Have you and nick ever had a straight line drag?

yeah, from looking at it its gonna need fairings a clutch lever and the rear subframe bits (plastics) put back in the right place.

Not sure about the engine... it was letting me pull it back while still in gear which i dont think is supposed to happen...
