Gagging for a group ride, and it just kinda happened today

[Latte]

I had an old cb1000f or similar tag along after i passed him on the motorway today. He'd been happily trundling along up until that point, guess i woke him up hehe.

Good on you dodo once the new beast feels like home its all good The first group ride thing is kinda cool aye (I personally try not to ride in groups but on the odd occasion I do I gotta admit that fuck it sounds goooood!) Take care bro.

ok......not tryin to give you shit but I have now seen your other posted ride and I see what you are talking about..... my view of a ride is miles apart from yours...carry on....as you were....if it fits your skill level then its ok.
It would make me sell up and buy a car...sorry man but it looks the pits to me....no challenging corners, motorway traffic, bbbbooooorrrrriiiinnnngggg and dreadfully neutral as far as riding is concerned. Have a look at doing some real kms when you get some more experience, perhaps go to Raglan or Tairua, even Leigh......the motorway is not a rideits a commute that requires the skill of staying upright, nothing more....

Seems like the term "ride" I used bothers some people? What do I call it then? commute? lets call it commute then haha I have no issue with that I've been on sports bikes , did auckland to wellington trip , not to mention many track days on Taupo tracks too,, that One video I made doesn't justify my whole motorcycle life. I'm just having fun capturing and editing videos because I can, not to show off my skills,, I like staying safe on the public road even if that means boring... and I'm sorry I'm just not looking for "challenging corners" on the public road. haha sorry!

Well, I was on the motorway this afternoon when an R1 rider wanted to hold hands - I tried speeding up and slowing down, but he kept bugging me. I was worried he was going to offer to give me his R1 for a ride; so I went really fast to get away from him. Maybe he was related to the OP?

It might have been Edbear wanting to congratulate you for riding in a straight line.

Try going North up to Puhoi. It's a great place to hang out.

If you are know your going to go for a ride in the weekend you could also post an event and invite some others along.

I think shops like AMPS have regaularly organised rides as well.

super !

Next time I'm going on a ride I'll give you a text. Puhoi is good, also Scenic drive or to South Head. Roads on the 2nd 2 were in a fairly sad state of repair last time I went on them, South Head a week or so ago. Still fun though.

Be good to have someone else come along since one of my biker mates never seems to want to go on rides anymore.

super !

If you can get your arse out of bed and be here at Warkworth by 9.30am some time, there is another W.A.R.T Ride in the making, I only give a moments notice....possible 12 hours at a stretch.
But, if you're keen, I can always heads you up earlier?
We only like a handful of bikes and ride pretty much to the speed limit.
Is 390KMs to much for you in a day?

He was celebrating with the occasional mono, so I must have been riding very straight.
