the faster you go, the more stable you are, more stable you are the more safe you are..



... Mr Officer...

[Qkchk:Me]

Ride is still on! Bit windy but at least it's not wet!

[chickenfunkstar]

I might see you guys there.

The general area was still dry when I came through about 15 mins ago.

How do you word that one to a Police officer?

I suppose another good line could be "Oh, with my size and all I act like a sail in the wind, there was nothing, absoloutely nothing I could of done about it"

See you all there in a bit.

In Hobsonville currently the sun is out in all of it's glory and yes the wind is up a bit, felt it quite strong on my way home from work, so strong in fact that i had to *tame* my riding to suit, note: wheelies are much more dangerous when windy, might as well forget about them! Looking okay up north in the Coatsville/Riverhead direction with some white/grey cloud cover, i'll risk going 2nite!

[Lazy7]

well dam. that was an 'eventfull' ride

[GR81]

rekon, feel sorry for the poor fella on the gsxr, didnt look so coherent

[Zed]

I had a really good time 2nite, thanks for the ride Qkchk!
I just love those roads, and i guess i had the benefit of knowing them quite well 2nite, pity several others can't say the same.

Encouraging to see KB still attracting large group rides, not sure on the total count of bikes but i recall about 15-20 bikes at one stage, which was cool to see in one location at Westgate, several others met up with us along the way, Bugjuice, et al. There were a couple of incidents along the way but overall the roads & weather were mint, and the company and chat at the pub was enjoyable!

Frosty, you are a good guy when it comes to helping people, top marks!
Babybikie, you are a ladies man lol.
Sixpack, you are a good guy, so wot's wrong with you online?? p/t
SPman, hope that physio ends soon, 'becky' looked hot 2nite.
CaN, choice leathers hehe, looking forward to seeing the YZF at the track!
BigDave, that Haka sucked!!

See y'all on the next one, and have a great weekend this weekend everyone who attended!!!

[bugjuice]

big dave was there...??

yeah, was a good ride, cheers qkchk.

the newb I brought along (streethawk on kb) enjoyed it too, for his first group ride..

hope everyone's alright..

[FROSTY:Me]

My daddy is writing this for me cos I don't know the letters propperly.
Was real cool seeing so many bikes. I wos real mad with daddy letting them all go in front of us and daddy not riding fast.
I hope that guy who crashed his bike is ok.
Daddy let me ride for awhile and that was good fun but you guys had all gone ,that made me sad.
Daddy left me with you guys and that was fun and I got to ride home on a very sad motorbike in the back of daddys van.
I had a good night

Brilliant ride with good company at the pub too, who was that young chick riding pillion? I'm sure I use to go to school with her (no really).

I would just like to rub it in, mainly to get Bruces attention, the ... HYOSUNG ... passed a ZX7R times two ... I say again, two ZX7R's. However they were probably just cruising.

You lot wait until I get a my desired 636 or something else around the 600 mark, you'll all be given the learn ... yeah keep laughing.

I hope those dudes that binned are alright, they didn't look too shit hot but that other guys ego looked bruised more than anything else.

Cheers for the ride!

[Big Dave]

big dave was there...??

yeah - i got sick of waiting for you to ring.

needed to get out of the office and the ride east to north on the tbird was all i needed.

zed bought me a coke - had a yarn and cruised home via the city. sounds like i had a better night than some.

Frosty - you are a legend.

It was the Aussie haka: tap front pockets twice, tap back pockets twice and ask: shout us a beer?

[boomer]

Auckland mobile accidents© on tour??

Hope your all safe and had a good run.. i will get to one of these. I left work about 5:10 tonite and thought to myself that i'd go west and meet ya's and say hi. Then i couldnt recall what time you were meeting and guessed 6:30 so thought bugger it.. and went home

errr..... YAH, thats it

nah, didn't know most of the roads we were doing, no way in hell I want another speed striped bike.

Good ride qkchk, most able to go their own pace without feeling they needed to keep pace.

I think the first little adventure was a non-kbr?? And his mate?? was the one I wanted to talk to... bloody sticking to my arse like a mudguard

[Lazy7]

nah - Swantiger passed me legitmately. god i wish i was a confident rider!

in saying that though, i did manage to keep it shinny side up AND have a lot of fun so i guess thats a bonus!

i was really pleasantly surprised with the organisation of the ride and how you guys all helped out the fallen rider. was good to see.

i was talking to the bronze gixxer rider for a bit at the gassy before we left and by the sounds he was quite experienced, lots of track time etc... so it will be interesting to hear what happened. it was quite sobering seeing the bloodshot eyes and the helmet after he fell off... was a good lesson, to me anyway, about how quickly it can all go wrong!

cheers quickchick. was cool!
