    I got a kick out of Saturday that film was a crack up that opening line "what makes you car drivers such wankers" is a classic thanks to Shade & organisers...
    good to meet some riders keen to get out on the next ride... I usually dont give a rats ass about the rain but that was some heavy s#%!

    Many thanks to Shade for the movie, Andrew and others (you know who you are! I don't) for organising the meet. Oh, thanks Kas (again) for dragging me out
    I wasa little blown away by the terminology and technical aspects being discussed... but I still had a fun day.

    Thank you all for being so understanding of the newbie.

    I'll get in line to say once again.... Thanks to all that spent the time and effort to make such a great meet.
    In the end we all got a free movie, free games and met a bunch of great folk.

    I'm sorry we didn't join you for the ride afterwards but about a minute after we got home the skies opened up and I thought - Thank f*ck for that!!

    In case anyone hadn't noticed it was one of Sarah's (TU250) first rides (ever) and she was bloody nervous.

    Again a special thanks to Shade for the tickets and tokens!!
    Not even with yours!!!

    It's on our list
    However the open road scares the sh*t outta her at the moment and I don't want to rush things and freak her out.

    Fair enough, KY. It's actually really good that you can admit that, and every biker will tell you that any training is good for you, no matter how long you've been riding.
