Tauranga Rant and Rave

[dragonfly]

What a loverly ride. Thanks chaps and chapettes. Them icle 500 Suzi's can bloody move can't they!. Bit of luck with the fuzz (for a change) just before Paeroa. Still can't believe the size of that burger at Kopu.

Yep was a good day out riding. Was great meeting more new KB faces especially two more biker chicks . Darryl I'll keep the scooters out of the work shop so ya tyre willlllll get done. The prilly looking pretty round em corners unit . Thanks Karen for organising yesterday was good to see ya out there. Mustn't forget dmntd and his part in organising, cheers . Lets keep riding .

Sounds like a good ride - I'm still going to join in on a ride soon - promise,
- I should've yesterday - I had to work in the morning and decided late yesterday afternoon to go for a quick ride round the back of the lakes.
Roads were perfect and dry and so we did go 'quick' - coming back I binned it on a tight left hander. Slowed up too quick and straightened up - was crossing centre line and see a ute coming - It was a case of hitting him head on or dropping bike - took the latter option - hence I'm able to post this. Stupid! Stupid!
Lucky it was a left hander - Only a bit scratched up on the left and indicator gone as well as gear change busted. Managed to ride home but had a painful night - hurt rib and pulled shoulder.
Hopefully see ya all on Thursday night.

Lol gotta love those latte's aye Glen

Fish and Spud went to Coroglen yesterday but only got as far as the mill before Tairua with Spud getting a rear blow out caused by a car brake pad going into the side wall on it... tyre was not even half-worn so he a bit pissed

He said it got a bit wobbly but no drama's...Yvonne came to the rescue in the trusty ol ute and they went back to Kopu pub for a bit

Bloody Te Aroha boys just cannot be out done by anybody.

Regards to P glad that all was well.

He must be dreading BOY P now that you have made his place a public bbq area. lol

Your right on all counts, awesome riding with Dragonfly everytime, I smiled for our group when we saw the fuzz cause we was being good citizens as we usually are , and yep, I reckon there is definately a nationwide challenge on to see if that burger can be beaten. In fact Im specially going to go back and order one so we can post a pic and see who else can come up with better. Mind you, I will be taking a couple of fellow hungry bikers with me cause there's no way I can eat one of them

good one ID
hey thanks for putting the ride together in short time karen.
premo ride those southerners seemed to agree

Yes thanks Karen, was one of those most awesome last minute rides and given we didnt get home until after 7pm was a good days outing. Thanks too you guys for taking us up to that lookout at the end of the day, I will certainly be making that a tourist attraction for future visiting KBers

Mustn't forget dmntd and his part in organising, cheers . Lets keep riding .

Yep dmntd always good for knowing whats going on and great he could make it up to the meeting point to meet everyone. (Pissst, did you say riding, motorcycles? really? cool

Shame we missed them would have really made up a good group that was already happening. Five of us (four bikes) had an excellent cruise back home from Paeroa was one of the best riding days I can remember in a while (well from the point of view I was actually riding well for a change)
