Slow/Medium Ride up North (Wellsford) - Sunday 11th September

[crashe]

Update re my fall at Wellsford McDonald's 11/9/05.

I have rung and laid a official complaint at Head Office at McDonald's.
They are going to contact me back either this arvo or tomorrow morning. They were not impressed with the Manager on duty with his dealings with me and with him not getting me to fill in a "accident report" of what happened for OSH or even checking that I was ok after my fall. Or moving the signs to a better place on the wet surface so that it didnt happen again.

They are not impressed with what he said to me either.
"Oh yeah, sorry" and "Where did it happen?" and again "Oh yeah sorry"

I am a bit sore still but will recover...
I was uncomfortable riding back to Auckland after having twisted my back in such a way when I landed. I could knew something wasn't right in my back.
I was trying to stretch a bit when riding back to take the pain away.

yah man where were you? how could anything else be more important than a ride with KB? lol

I'm thinking of organising another ride in about 2 or 3 weeks time, mainly focusing on 150's and 250's. The bigger bikes just blitz us when we ride with them.

I was gonna do a ride on coromandel in two weeks. Its a long day but is awesome fun, had the 250's showing the big bikes how to do it on the way up and around, but on the way back it opens out a bit and they get ahead by a fair while.

Doesnt need to be split up by bike capacity. When i tried doing that the first it was supposed to be 250's only, ended up with around 20 bikes, and only 5 were 250 or less.

Awesome ride guys - thanks PF.

Great roads and great fun. .... the rain was a bit of a ....

[El Dopa]

Time to get a new bike mate...

Really? Ya think?

[Korumba]

Had a Blast, Thanks PF, and nice to meet you. Great job getting it all together!

(Must have been somewhat like herding cats at times)

Big thumbs up to R.I.B for organizing the Northern end of the ride can’t wait for the next trip.

Cheers

Maybe if you ride on the straight roads ...

Its no fun riding with all newbies (as in small capacities) because the mental case riders like to try keep up with the bigger bikes, and I... I mean THEY love to try give the big bikes a shakeup - CC's are for the straights.

Anywho thanks again good ride Korumba make sure you turn up with a new rear tire next time ..

Thanks Mate will do...Ill fit the Packrack and Bungie it on!
The extra weight may help stop the rear spinning in 5th while passing you...

It turns to Metal just after Pipiwi,but havent taken the bike up to there, so sounds like fun....Im just pleased we dont have Hubcaps..cause they can nick em while the wheels are still turning up that way.

I wouldn'd stop there for lunch. Not unless I liked walking home naked. That's if I'm lucky, cause I think Puhia and Pakihia is still on the menu up there
