Enigma51 and I got a txt from the founder member of "Flight club" Friday letting us know there'd be a ride to mangawhai(?) heads on Sunday. Great I thought, I’ll tag along and arranged to meet MV Senna, 10am meet.. McD's @ green lane. In typical fashion I waited for the lady to arrive and we're off. Meeting 4 more at another petrol station before we finally catch up with Enigma51 10 minutes up the road.
We're 2 yami's (6undies), a Suziki looking like a hog, a triumph 955i, an alstare gixxer, a repsol blade, a repsol vfr400 and my baby 6hundie. The blade rider was just someone Enigma met on the roadside waiting for us and I’m not sure if anyone had met more than 2 others before today. A great bunch of people of different abilities but just the right ingredients for a good day!!!!
Thanks Jo!!!
Off we go and the first right hander, still in suburbia and the cruisers scraping his pegs!!! The next left hander which was a steady 100kph sees the cruiser.. Who’s got his lady on the back having 3 attempts at the corner before he's making his way back and forth over the white line. It’s at this stage I reckon it’s safer to be upfront. A nice easy pace up 16 and we're having some fun and people start to find there pace/place. The blade taking the lead and swapping every now and again with the VFR.
There were a couple of boy racers, one in particular in a Subaru who thinks he’s got the balls and power to 'play'.. Well his bubble was quickly burstA smoko and a chat at the scenic look out sees some smiling faces followed shortly by some arm waving and strange dancing. We're right in the middle of a huge swarm of flying ants... so we're lids on and off we go.
A great day, a bit of rain see's us eating at Wellsford then turning back the way we came. The rain came down again and the pace dropped only to see a zx10r fly past us and pop his front wheel up.. He did this as he passed each of the 5 cars in front too.So the skies dry up and the pace increases and somehow I fly off up front alone and manage to loose everyone and end up in hellensville before I realise I may have missed THE turn off
A phone call confirms I’m an idiot and everyone is in the pub... oh well! time to go home and have a play in the new sv8 we bought yesterday and picked up this morning... that’s a different story for another forum perhaps
Thanks to Jo for organizing a great day and Enigma51 for being the hoon he is and the others who maysign up to kiwi biker
