Hope your not talking about this slow fella.
I tried to make it, but I was down in Mount maunganui today, didn't leave there till after 5.
Hope you all had a good ride.

I enjoyed the ride, haven't been down some of those roads before. Though once we hit Wainui I managed to keep up around the back of the pack - roamed those roads on my GN every night.

Hope everyone made it back okay from the pub, saw an ambo racing south down SH17 coming home.

First of all, a big thanks to all who made the effort and came out on the ride.......

13 Bikes in total.....

Good ride had by all except poor old Frosty who had brought his 'el cheapo' runabout and suffered a frontal flat tyre. Keep us on our toes Frosty, what are ya going to bring next week?

I was quite impressed by the standard of the newbie riders. One guy on a CBR250R had only been riding for a week, seemed a natural - was keeping up with the pack. We have even convinced someone from the public to join KB, he had just pulled up at the pumps (at Westgate) and Keystone asked if he wanted to join us for a ride in which he did, so hopefully we might see this 'newest' member on next thurs night and on the site soon. A big thanks to Keystone, Motobob, Zapf, Zed and Wonko for helping me out and guideing the new comers.

We have all agreed on an earlier meeting time for next week so we can take advantage of the light while it's still around. Meeting at Westgate @ 6.45 leaving at 7.15pm. Lets just hope the great weather is going to continue.........

and making it to the pub by 8.30 for food

Would have been along but had just had a tooth taken out.

Will someone give Frosty their number? Co-ordinating a rescue for a ride you cant be on is no fun!

Yup, I was starving when we got there at 8.30 and the kitchen closes at 8.30

Thoroughly enjoyed myself last nite, thanks Qkchk for the organisation and everyone else for your participation. Good weather, roads, company, etc etc. Had a minor setback to the back of the pack cos i volunteered to go on a search and rescue mission for one of the newer riders who managed to miss the main turnoff to Silverdale and kept going about 5kms past Kaukop until i caught up and turned him around...wonder if he would have got to Wellsford b4 realising that no-one was behind him lol?

All fun & games, looking forward to the next one...

Ps. Where did Dover get to in the end?? We had a great blast up Old North/Peak Rd together then i never saw the dodgy fella again?? Good riding skills on the K5!

**ManDownUnder** · 24th February 2006, 08:50

Sorry I had to pull out last night - it just wouldn't have been fair on my good lady wife... baby, tiredness and kids all day.

You get the picture.

Glad to see it was a goodun - I was thinking of you guys/gals.
