1KC - 1,000km Cruise

[FJRider]

Re the lights, The ride kicks off about 7am. With daylight saving, it will still be pretty much daylight at 7-8pm when the ride will be centre'd around the Waikato / Oto region so I can not see much in the way of night riding out in the boondocks, unless someone is still pushing his bike into the next fuel stop.

I was referring to the 1600 km rides ... anything less is just a big day out ...

nah just towing yours

I would hate to push mine. Its a Rolls Canardly type of boike.
The rider is just s l o w.

I'll have an A frame fitted to the front and bring my own tow rope.

This does take a bit to get your head around ... But do what suits YOUR riding preferences ... even as they (may) change.

After my accident last year, it was a period when I really discovered - self responsibility.

Taking responsibility for my own actions. If I dont agree or want to try different things, I reasearch them and give it a go. I am trying to do/figure things by myself rather than rely on others except for advice (like yours).

Recently I have been doing all sorts of things with much more self confidence than before.
like the 1000k previously I would have done this after another 5 years of riding. Now I am ready to give it a go. Even if I dont succeed I gave it a go.

we could tie the bikes together, yours could be the side car.

More likely your experience will help you on your travels
My INexperience will hold me back. I am quite happy to travel behind.

Advice is good ... but how that will affect how you prefer to do stuff is the critical bit. Do what you feel comfortable doing.

Everybody is different ... can't and won't have entirly different meanings.

Confidence is the key .. ability just helps.


BUT ... when things start going bad ... RETHINK your intentions ... and LIVE to ride another day.

E.mail J.A.W. as to their location ... he (being an aussie) ... will probably be interested.

I dont support the overseas shipment of NZ livestock or DNA etc.

I wonder what aussies think is a 'day ride'

Going for a long training ride this weekend, bike all ready and fuelled TCLOCKS done, just waiting for riding partner to decide path, destination already set.

I doubt there will be any dark riding.

having lights is a legal requirement.
i still have to get the bike to the start, i will need lights to ride it to the start.. unless i ship it.
