Fight Club ride this saturday (19th)

with awesome company, and a good pace allowing us to eat up those miles in a reasonable time. Thanks guys. 22 was in relatively good nick today I thought, it was pretty well sign posted where there was trouble, just one spot on a hill that had some pea metal, other than that it was just 22 really. Then a detour to Mercer on the way back, thru to SH 25 where Dave split and the rest of us went onto Kaiaua, then Kawakawa Bay, Clevedon. Paco & Randy then split for the motorway home, Nhuan & I went through to Maraetai, Whitford, Howick & then went our seperate ways. Nice Bling on the R1 there Pac, hope to catch you guys again soon.

Cheers

Would have loved to have joined you guys today but alas my work Christmas function went into the early hours of this morning so I had to stay in bed till 9am to catch my beauty sleep, then took the missus for a nice ride out to Huia via Cheenic Dwive...next time eh.

Glad to hear you had a goodun as usual!

Yeah we wondered where you got to. Glad you got to spend such a good day with both bike & wife though. We'll catch you next time.

I'll be in for the one on next weekend. Will bring a mouth guard to save my pretty teef.

**Marmoot** · 20th November 2005, 16:04

it was a good ride that I slept real tight on through the night and just woke up now to post this (and I wasn't only talking about 22.......)

Anyway, great ride guys, lookin forward to next weekends to come.

SH22 is full of gravel everywhere and huge construction areas on some part of the roads. And we're talking about clay roads now, not simply construction. I'd stay away from that road if I were you. Real away. The last part around Cleava....i meant Clevedon, was great. Better than SH22, as I'm sure a lot of people in here would agree.

Hey guys, thanks for you company yesterday, another great ride, weather was with us thats for sure, Matt sorry you could not make it we waited as long as we thought was fair then set off.

don't believe the positive ride reports circulating. The sometimes referred to road was truly awful, in such a shitty state. I would not recommend anyone venture down it all summer. I had a terrible time.

I hope to never see those bastards again.

So, the pre requisite for this club is a bike with 2 sqinty lights.....

So what happened in the pic, did you's leave all the Suzooki's behind?

That's quite a lineup evil clown, that'll be P, N, M, F, & V standing in order from lh to rh...not that I know anything at all about anything, i know nothing?? I still havn't seen that blue r6 & black r1 up close!

Btw, you guys must be awesome riders cos I heard that 22 was like a war zone at the moment?

yup, you'd have to be an absolute fool to consider riding it any time soon.

I must say, it was a first for me to stop, wait for a digger to fill in a hole in the road, and then ride over what he deemed 'good enough' for an undefined number of sports bikes to negotiate.

Pity that hole will remain, deeming the road impassable until March 06.
