    WGTN "Newbie/cautious" ride 21 August

    Following on from Nomes suggestion that us "cautious" riders get together and do the Taka's in preparation for the KB ride in October, thought i'd see who was still keen? (weather dependant?) If the weather is anything like the weekend just passed it'll be an awesome ride!

    Here's the plan/times etc . . . (compliments of Paul in NZ)

    Townie's to meet @ WMCC @ 9.45 to leave @ 10, then onto Caltex Rimutaka to pick up the "others" leaving @ 10.45. See you all there!

    Im still keen. Weather dependant and all that.

    Had a great ride over Paekakariki hill on the w-end. Bit windy (as in breezy) but was a good ride.

    I only managed to get a ride around the bay's - bikes going for first service tomorrow and was already sitting at around 950 on the clock so didn't wanna risk it. Was an awesome weekend for riding too - damn it all!

    Skelstar - I'll definatley be going over the Taka's on Sun whether the interest is minimal or not . . . .

    Sounds good.
    Do we have an ambition? Some Martinborough cafe is usually the destination of choice isnt it...Flying Fish or something?

    Well I know that I lack ambition . . . But a destination is definately a good idea, I know im gonna need to stop for awhile . . .
    Even though ive been in Wgtn for 3 years now im still pretty lost in and around wgtn, so maybe you could think of a good meeting place, destination etc?

    Mate, anyone is welcome - just be aware that most of us haven't ever ridden up the hill, and that at least a couple of us will be on Mighty GN250's. But yea, the more the merrier!

    I'll come along if you guys want someone who is a regular Hill rider.

    If it is going to be a crispy morning on the 21st you probally want to make it 10am so that some of the shady corners on the Takas have time to dry out.

    If Vicki and I tagged along you could all bend her ear about how wonderful GN250's are etc etc... Hmm Looking at the current trend in fuel prices 2 bikes might not be such a swell idea though!

    Gulp... We might have to share a GN....

    (thinks)

    Might be busy that day.... (ah hem)

    VTwin - Awesome, be good to have some "experienced" riders to help show us the way and give feedback etc. Im thinking that 10am or a bit later sounds good!

    PaulNZ - Me thinks we could manage that! Better watch out tho cause if we rave too much, you mite end up with 2 GN's. . . lol!

    I dunno if thats such a good idea Sels1. With your recent record of illegal and reckless speeding I'm not sure that your best pillion would be safe on the beemer.... (pt)

    Heh heh....

    If that didn't put her off forever the leaving Kapiti at 9:20 to get to Caltex by 10 would, if we get another 'crisp' morning. I was wondering why I was looking for a 3rd dog last night.. Brrr.... Glad to be in the car this morning...

    ps - hows that clutch holding up?

    Alrighty then, we need a plan . .

    Ok, someone has to help me out here. Obviously we need a meeting place (suggestions needed). . .SOMEWHERE IN TOWN PLEASE!! lets say meet there @ 10 - leave @ 10.15 for those of us that are prone to lateness. Then I guess we'll need a second meeting place to pick up the people that live out of town. And go from there. Whatdya reckon?

    Was wondering if I might be allowed to tag along as well.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    If my license comes through in time I am really keen as well. I haven't been out on the open road on the 600 yet so happy to be a newbie for the day
