    Yeah thanks again Uncle B. Me and Mrs merv enjoyed that and would be happy to come with the newbies again, that's so long as they want us oldbies along. Heck someone has to take the photos eh! It was a good run for the DR as well so the VFR got a rest.
    Cheers

    What time were you guys at the top of the takas on the way back.

    We'd shot over to the fish for coffee and on our way back there was a huge group at the top of the takas. Probably would have been about 3ish.

    We didn't stop cause we'd been fighting our way through traffic and I was a little busy to wave.

    R6 with a pillion? A few of us watched you arcing over the top - very nice. Scary for the passenger though....

    Ha! In my defence I'd like to say it wasn't like that before we started. Honest.

    Off to the shops tomorrow....

    No no no, you said that all wrong.

    That should have been: "That's one scary passenger."
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Cheers for the pics Merv. Thats the first pic I've seen of me on my bike.
    Cheers for organising this ride Uncle B. You the man!! I would gladly take part in another newbie ride. Had a really great day (apart from my rear tyre)

    Well, she is scary! I was stumbling up Cuba Mall one lunchtime, as is my wont, when I spotted her sitting in a shrubbery outside Farmers. Something about the look on her face suggested a flip, "Hello, Mrs Slingshot", would've caused me some pain.

    Anyway being frightened of women in general isn't a bad thing. Much better for one's health.

    Was a good day out. My group went out to Lake Fairy and met up with Jimbo, Flame, Dover, Poos and a few others.

    Thanx to Darkman for allowing me to ride his Blackbird too! What an amazing bike! At high speed, it feels like you could put it into lazy boy mode and put your feet up. VERY COMFY BIKE!

    Glad to hear that there was no major carnage, although i did hear that someone did come off coming down the tuka's. Hope the damage isnt too bad.
    Motorcycing is not a hobby, It is a way of life!

    Missed forever! NEVER FORGOTTEN!!
    LIVE ON MY FRIENDS!

    Friends dont let friends ride Hyosungs
