Late night city Rides!

[N4CR]

By Glendowie do you mean Kohimarima store? Also has Motoracer gone there too or what?

Don't know about MR but by Glendowie I mean past ASB stadium/glendowie college and those block of shops to the left before assridge.

(I'm an ex-westie so don't know the road names but live in meadowb(w)ank now... gowing drive )

Hey guys, nice ride, i left early, some stupid road works sent us onto the motorway north so i took the hint and headed home.

It was good to meet a few more of the gang, who was that ramdom english guy that thought a VFR800 had more top end speed than a Blackbird?

If someone organises another count me in.

Yeah thats right! heheheheh

And hates Kawasakis because they are 'tinny'

We should have told him to get a real swingarm eh

I guess if yours was the first Kawasaki he's heard, it wouldn't be an unreasonable conclusion to reach.

[Phenoix]

It was a good ride, with a few nice backfiring
Its good to go as a group to get used to the night rinding, lots of difference as I've just found.
I've now met bruce and his wheelies at 120K
Will be all keen for another one, starting ealier does sound good.

The English guy is one the the security guards from Prince's whalf.

All back to hams by 1am all good. Bit of rain - not that you notice once you are underway. Smooth patches of road are interestingly slipperly. Makes you wonder if the speed needs to be reduced.
Hard to get you Auckland guys out of the city tho!!

You mean his stuck throttle cable? yea he really should fix that..

[Phenoix]

Really interesting

You came from Hams?? hell, what a trooper, that'd be a good trip at that time of night

Wasnt much traffic and I've fitted relays for the lights with the feed rite off the alterator. With standard bulb high beam is much better now. All good training for the Grand Challenge too

[The Stranger:Me]

Yeah, he has more to fix now.
He lost an oil seal on a front shock last night. Dumped oil all over a disks and onto the exhaust.
I was behind and thinking where is all the bloody smoke coming from.

Another wheelie gone wrong I take it?

[The Stranger:Me]

Ah ha.
He didn't look impressed, but I don't see the problem.
He only really needs a rear wheel.

[loosebruce]

Yea blew the seal clean out of the bottom of the fork and dumped half a litre of fork oil all over the show, got me baffled as i didn't even land it all that hard.
Ah well, put it back in today and gave everything a good clean, had to clean the disc's pretty hard out and had to put my spare brake pads in as the ones in there were poked.
But she all good now, ready for the next thing to break

Catch you all up at some stage.

[Phenoix]

Now that would have been a sight to seen.
Must take skill tho not to BIN it.
How many would be keen on another night right starting abit earlier next time.
