Most memorable ride ever

[Dafe]

lol! And on my damn birthday too! those cows were definately a crack up! Though im pretty sure that they were giving Matt (BL) the "eye"...

Unfortunately my two most memorable rides both ended in a crash. My most memorable would have been when I wrapped the GN round the pole. I doubt i'll ever forget that, ouch!

Yeah, maybe that had it in for Matt!
Seriously though, most memorable ride - Rolling out my first ever bike from the paintshop, A 1990 KR1-S 250. Done in custom colours with racing stickers applied. Looked so good and all done myself. The first ride - That was satisfaction!

Well I think today Im about to clock up a new most memorable ride. Got the new TL late Thursday night, and rode it for the first time last night. OMFG!!! What a BEAUTIFUL bike. Today the skies are blue, and we are gathering together with others to ride the east coast head north from Whangarei, turn off to the coast through Oakura then winding all the way up to Russell, across the ferry (stand and pose while pretending to enjoy the boat ride) over to Paihia for lunch then back home. Should use up most of the day and on my new beauty. I so love my new bike but OMG it sure is insanely fast!, now I might have a sporting chance of keeping up with TL Rider

Riding over the rimutaka hill in a cyclone at night and finding out at the end the rd was closed to traffic

hmmm, favourite ride would likely be from whangahu village [place that got the big floods start of 04] to levin and back....started out at 6am me on the bike, my man at the time behind me in his cage. sunrise over the foxton strait, 130-odd k at times. that was likely the most memorable ride so far, cos i felt at one with the road and the highway jukebox really kicked in and i got to show my skill. got to levin, stopped at the mickey d's, couldnt feel my fingers to brake, clutch and down shift smoothly...also legs where numb as anything. that ride was also the longest "solo" ride ive done.

Yea well... Probably my first ride with Kiwi Bikers down SH22 was the best - leant/felt how good it is to be on a bike and riding as a group etc etc. Even though I came off on that ride and did a bit of damage to the bike I still liked it.
Today was good as well - perfect weather, good group of riders and good comfortable speeds.

Yesterday definately gets added to the top of the pile. TL Rider told me today he wanted my first outing on my new TL to be a truely memorable one, and it was certainly that. The planned day was fantastic, and it got even better when the unplanned bit kicked in and most the others were keen. 12hrs later we finally got home, cold, sore and dog tired but happier than I can remember in a long time, and its a ride I will never forget, etched into the memory till my brain is finally worm fodda. I wish every rider just one day in their life like yesterdays.

Most memorable at the moment ( at my age,memory is a fleeting thing ) is a couple of weekends ago popping over the hill to Martinborough for a bottle of wine and a bottle of olive oil, sitting in a cafe having a coffee and a piece of carrot cake in the sun and thinking why not go back to Palmie via Wellington? Well got to Featherston and it starts drizzling, just enough to make it impossible to see through the visor. And then onto the mighty 'Taka Hill. I was getting blown all over the road and to make it worse bloody cages were overtaking me. I was pretty pleased to get to the other side and stopped at the ferry terminal for a pie and a coffee. Met a guy there who had flown from Timaru to Auckland, then to Wanganui, bought a Gold Wing and was "driving " it back to Timaru that day. Had an enjoyable and uneventful trip back to Palmie and felt as if I had actually had a decent ride

My most memorable ride would have to be when I went down to Blenham on the back of my ex boyfriends XJ 750 police special no comfy seat for me to sit on, oh no just a pillow which I lost just outside of Huntly, so my butt was very dead and sore by the time we reached Blenham. Coming back to Huntly was not too bad I ditched my boyfriends bike in favor of his fathers Honda Goldwing. We left Blenham to head back to Huntly at 2am after having gone to bed at 1am, I was real tired and thought it's ok I can sleep once I get back home, (yer right) sleep over took me within minutes of getting on the goldwing. We reached the ferry with me still sound asleep on the back so they left me there, while they went upstairs to have a cold drink and some food. When we reached Wellington they came back to find me still sleeping happily. So we continued on our way, we got to Taupo and I woke up and asked "have we got to Picton yet" well the answer I got was "no, not yet"...


I kinda worked it out once we got back to Huntly. lol.

One my most memorable rides wold be about 22-23 years ago on a cold winters night with a full moon, at about midnight going from Hamilton to Gordonton with the headlight off for most of the way. I would turn the headlights on when there were farm houses around. Wouldn't dream of doing it now but back then and at that time of the night there was never any traffic - I travelled that road 4-5 times a week for a year so it was a good way of relieving the boredom. Actually, the more I think about it the less inclined I am to tell anyone, just too dumb

More recently the Buller Gorge is a great ride as is the road from Queenstown to Kingston following Lake Wakatipu.

Hmm, that's my playground at the moment. Still hardley any traffic there after mdnight till about 4-5am. Havn't tried it without the headlight though but my headlight sucks hardcore at the moment anyway.

Have a new and more recent one to add. Riding with Road Rash on my way up to Auckland to pick up my girl. Me and him decided to take some backroads. Got lost a couple of times but that only brought us to more exciting roads. Need to do more riding like that. No planned route just pick a direction and go.
