Akl Thurs night NIGHT RIDE and Drinks 6th April @ 6.30pm

**Qkchk:Me** · 2nd April 2006, 22:10

What: A ride in the Northern Valleys in da dark
When: Thursday night after work on the 6th April
Where: Meeting @ Shell Westgate (at the end of the North Western M/Way)
Why: Because there is more to motorcycling than just talking about it and its a good way to test your headlight!
Time: Meeting there from 6.30pm departing @ 7pm
Pace: Open to all

- Remember I dont want to see anyone turn up with a tinted/irridium visor on! Any chance to lessen the risks we take in our riding the better! (If you dont have a clear visor, may I suggest buying/borrowing a pair of clear saftey glasses and keep ya tint visor up....)

- Darkness = Slower speeds (self explained...)

- I'm doin the rides not for so much the riding itself (very limited with time and what you can do with it) but the social get-together at the Albany pub afterwards. So if you can't make the ride, try and make the pub and meet fellow Kbers!

The route will be discussed on the night. For those worried about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr and is 70kms long. We start at Westgate and finish up at the old Albany Pub.

Remember this ride is WEATHER PERMITTING - I will post up in the thread if it is postponed due to weather. I will decide on the day and post after 5pm.

Disclaimer: You participate on this ride at your own risk. I will not be held accountable for anyones actions, to/from and during the ride..

Anyone who is caught endangering others by their actions will be asked to leave the ride and may be refused entry to forthcoming rides!

You sure?? Eat your carrots, in the darkness you have less rubbish entering your peripheral vision, meaning you can concentrate on the road more

Better watch out for that old fellow on that 1000cc suzuki, he sometimes gets panic attacks and doesn't know what to do, I fully expect him to start crying out loud one day.

Don't worry about me I'll be home hiding under the bed dreaming of ripping up Cheenic Dwive

or Huia Rd :spudbooge with a new set of tyres, oh yeah message from the fellow from the place - make sure you stay clear of that area unless some of you want a pair of highbeams pushing you off the road. - Sheesh that fella scares me I'm going back under the bed now

User beware! You ride like this at your own peril me boy. Borrow a pair of clear saftey glasses or buy them (Saftey shops sell them for $10) nothing more crunchier than a eye/mouth full of sandflies and mozzies!
