Friday 12th of August *NIGHT* Auckland loop ride

**crashe** · 13th August 2005, 15:26

Jonny - It was Nurse Draco that checked you all over...
It was her and I, that helped you get to your feet.
Garath D tried to get your bike going again with the help of a few other lads.

Glad that its now in the safe keeping of Motohaus to get it repaired.

Jonny - Take some 'Arnica' tablets that will take away the bruises, or put on some 'Arnica cream' where you are sore. You can get that stuff from a chemist or at some supermarkets.

Well the ride was all good bar for that 4x4 that I was stuck behind for ages...
Man that vehicle smokes heaps of black smoke... and it was all caught on film as well.

Trying to not loose anyone is the fun bit... especially for those that didn't know the area at all.

Hey guys it was great thinking to whoever it was that had their lights flashing to warn other road users to slow down... at the crash site.

We were greeted by heaps of KBers up the Albany pub...

Only a few of us left to head back to the city and continue on up Queen Street. Ran into Motoracer on his mountain bike and he accompanied us up the road.... we sent him on his way to a chorus of m/bike horns

Draco left us on the motorway to head home.
Slashwlyde left us top of Queen street.
Four of us went back to Pyrocams for sausages and drinks.

Frosty - what would we all do without you mate...
Well done.

Zapf was the one who had his beeeeaaauuuutiful Gixxer set up with the hazards on.

Thanks to him also for accompanying me home in case some copper took exception to me being out at night. No problems tho.

On the whole, not a bad ride, except that the pub ruined the schedule for the ride. For me it was Highway to Westgate, westgate to pub, highway home

No worries Gremlin, you coming on the Coro ride tomorrow (Sunday)?

Johnny, glad to hear you are ok. don't be so brave to go where you eyes can not see next time

you'll be fine then.... remember you are not driving a car.

Good to see everyone there too..

ummm.... lesseee, posting at midday... guess not.

nah, I thought I would build up my riding skills before going on a ride that far...

**R6_kid:Me** · 14th August 2005, 13:08

hey all, enjoyed the short ride that i was part of...

good to get out with a decent group of us on the road without hooliganising too much!

Bad luck for johnny... gravel is always a bitch unless your Mr Skid, or riding a dirt bike!

Sorry to those that had to suffer the wrath of my headlight beam, i knew it was i bit high, just not THAT high, will be addressing the problem shortly (thanks to slashwylde for pointing it out)

You might not have the right codecs for it. Ask Pyrocam for a link to the one you need and then download it. Have too many on my pc to be able to tell you wich one it needs.

**pyrocam** · 14th August 2005, 16:27

s just you need a decodeer.
its called DIVX

google DIVX 5.0 for it
although techincally this proggy should work

**Qkchk:Me** · 14th August 2005, 21:44

**placidfemme** · 15th August 2005, 07:41

Friday night looked like a choice night to ride on

Bummer to hear that Jonny came off... hope all is good now

Catch ya'll on the next ride!
