Them dangerous group rides

What went wrong? No laws on who is allowed to ejaculate into who. I think Trump is working on this.

I'm with the majority, choose your riding buddies carefully.

Great bit of vid by the way.

A few years back BIKE magazine had an article on a new type of group ride happening in the UK. The rides had come to Police attention because of a high accident rate. It's a phenomenon that isn't common here, because we're a smaller country, but what was happening in the UK involved one-make Internet group rides. A GSXR1000 owner contacts other owners on the GSXR1000 web page and they all get together for a ride, often never having met each other previously. All kinds of abilities, all kinds of expectations, and all kinds of mayhem ensued.

That was some years ago but I've not yet heard of similar here. Of course there was "The Great Awakino Sheep Feast" ride, that had about 80 KB bikes from much of the North Island, but as far as I'm aware that was accident free.

Bicarb solution works on me pumpkins and cucumbers, Cleome's keep the passion vine hoppers off me fruit and flowers. Gleaned this from gardening type books. Probably need a Syrian air force handbook for the other pest. Harder to get rid of than nematodes.

Group rides? Ah, yes. Sorry all.

Would vote if I could TBH but I disagree about the too hot to drink, it's not evaporating in this humidity.

Yup, I truly understand the meaning of "Hangi Pants" with this weather. I'm steaming pipis.

I generally don't go riding on my days off as I spend all my work days riding to make money. It's rather taken the shine off my riding enjoyment.

I made an exception as I wanted to catch up with some friends.

It was about seeing friends. Not about the ride. Which I didn't particularly enjoy.

It has its up sides though, a couple of hours on Ruapuna today tidying up my cornering.

To be fair not much worse than attending any ride titled "poker run" here,after the 3rd pub its generally fat cunts on American motorcycles that perform

He's still a friend, but I won't be riding wit him again.
