Auckland Learner's Ride?

**Dart** · 8th October 2005, 18:51

Hi!
Are there any another learners in Auckland except me? :-)
What about doing some kind of learner's ride, like guys from Welli do?
Actually I don't know Auckland well, so what can anyone suggest?

When the weather fines up a bit......
and if you are free during the day.... gis a buzz....
I can take you around the streets a bit.... show you the ropes...
plus a bit out in the country..... and a bit of motorway riding.

But the more you practise the better you will get at riding.

Others will want to show you the ropes as well...

Cool! Thanks!
Yeah, weather is really bad now...

What ropes? Nobody showed me any ropes.

You usually have to purchase ropes seperately.

Having seen you on the 250, uh-huh... slow... It would be all I could do to keep sight of you when you rolled on the throttle "gently". Seriously, as you know, even gentle roll-on 2fiddy's can't keep up.

yep, I'm up for a learner ride on the weekend... I even have an L plate for entry into the ride...

Naturally this ride would not be exceeding 70 would it?

I'm almost sure, that not only I interested in such ride...:-)

Why of course not, there would not be any single instance in mind

Hamilton to Auckland is 1-1.25 hours.

After all, you, a very recently restricted rider and me a learner, could have no idea of the top speed of our bikes. Nor which might be faster

justsomeguy: you really didn't, or you're joking?

**N4CR** · 8th October 2005, 22:06

Hmm I'd be keen to go for a nice cruise around, drool over the purple fairy bike (you bastard...) and meet up with you gremlin. Might even ahh... test my tyres friction rating in a carpark too if it's wet...

021 264 6335 if you want to text me, I'll be in gym till approx 9:40 (short session on sundays) at pakuranga (tell me where to meet up if this is organised in the small hours of the morning)

I thought it was around 1 hour fifteen minutes from the home we visited to the home I live in.

Joking - sticking to 70 is an invitation to be banged in the back by a car.

You speak a lot of being in the gym - do you work there part time or do you train?? If so what sort of training do you??
