    Yeah that corner is a real bitch. Just teach teh learners not to brake mid corner or else if they are following too close there will be a pile up as a bike hits the barrier (IF they go downhill.) Uphill ain't sooo bad on that corner. Well... it is dreadfull full stop. Shitty surface and angles.

    What a piss poor effort on the ride organisers part... the bugger didn't even turn up, so the whole group of 7 riders had to descend on his house...

    oh wait...

    Once that lazy excuse for a biker got going, and we got out into the country, the ride was good, with good weather and some roads having been resealed in the last week. The tight right-left into kawakawa has been resealed which is awesome now. Some triathlon looking thing was taking in kawakawa, but apparently only today, not tomorrow.

    Tristan dropped off at clevedon, and aff-man and dveus carried on at Kaiaua.

    Bit of fun down some straights, and a comfortable pace set coming back into Auckland. Not a fast pace, but fun nonetheless.

    One very minor incident involving a biker trying his bike out on dirt hills, but we'll let him elaborate on that. Otherwise, a good day out I thought.

    Yes, good to ride with you guys again... and on bigger bikes this time! Dropped back a bit on Monument and had some fun... the SV's great on smooth roads! Suspect I'm finding issues on bumpy corners at speed already - must talk to Zapf about this

    Looking forward to tomorrow... you guys are doing a terrific job!!
    May be a long hot day though if we do every little bit at < 70km/h

    Well it was good while it lasted, saw a popo outside bitchlands and that was it.

    My shock is now so fucked it just bottomed out on a bump and stretched my chain so much it changes gear differently (I JUST ADJUSTED THE FUCKING THING 2 HOURS AGO AND IT WAS PERFECT).

    The bike can only really get over or do much if it is perfectly flat, otherwise im fhuooked. Speaking of which, I hot glued on some velcro and attatched my knee sliders.. they work like a treat

    That was a bit of a laugh having to ride to your house to get you, Gremlin. Lucky affman knew the way.

    It was good fun trying to keep up with affman, dveus and Rayza. The rest of the ride was good too.
    Bloody hot though!
