Riding on a public holiday? bah...last time I tried that I ended up running straight back home with the new 'friends' I'd made after about 10 minutes. Sticking to the water this weekend, it's still free out there Stay out of trouble guys.

.....so Eve bought a Honda and God was unhappy.........geeze doesn't say that in my study bible..............now where is Honda 13.1:3...........

Suppose it was a Honda Eve? Might have to see if I'm allowed out today. Sposed to be packing the car for our south island trip starting tomorrow.

[The Pastor]

I may be getting a bike today, I'd like to go but.... where is clevedon?

[beyond]

Clevedon is out from Papakura, heading East towards Maraetai.
It's about 12 kms East from papakura.

I take it you have ridden before? Probably not the best place to take a new bike, even if you have ridden before. It can be a demanding piece of road especially if you do not know it and secondly, on a new machine you won't be completely familiar with yet.

If you are ok with that, by all means come.


Affman, it looks like I can come so I'll be there at 1.15pm.

Another great day for riding.

That was cool. Good to meet even more faces from the forum. Really good turnout considering it sounded like only half a dozen or so were coming.

A lot of traffic about today, but expected I suppose.

Thanks all for a good day out. Went a bit pear shaped at the end as far as ride finishing points were concerned but that's no worry as long as everyone got back okay and didn't get peeved for missing catch up points.

Till next time, keep safe.

[GIXser]

yeah all, great ride , im impressed with "beyonds ridin" and (dont know ya name mr ducati as well) impressive,
until next all"

[Scouse]

Yup good ride Aff. I Had a bumhole puckering moment whitch slowed me down for a while but managed to come out the other side of it all intact good to meet some new faces and good to catch up with you again Garry Man those roads between Mercer and Pukekawa and Tuakau are mint well gotta kleen me bike now and also me new Arai now iv'e mentiond Arai this was me first ride with the new helmet and it seems alot quieter than me ole Shoei XR1000 not so much high frequency whistleing so alls good

[aff-man]

yeh more people turned out than expected....

A bit much traffic and some interesting roadworks locations made the ride a bit more interesting..

Yeh all kind of went to shit at the end.... Hope everyone got home ok.

Was a good ride though but it stressed 2 points. I need a steering damper with that gearing and I need a bigger bike.. Was running at about 11-12000 revs the whole time. . Was really likeing the extra oomph the larger sprocket was giving me out of the corners though.

See you all on the next one.

Thanks Gixser. Ground clearance is about my only issue on the fuel tanker

Some nice wheelies there mate.

The guy on the Ducati is Gary. He normally rides a red metallic R1 and is one of the few people I know who has no chicken strips on his tyres, rear and front! He's real hard to keep up with once he gets going and impossible to stay with when he really cranks up. i.e. particularly when his detector goes off.

Yeh that guy in the ducati was pretty impressive tried following him for a while but man that thing just pulls out of corners..... sounds superb as well.

Yep, hear about your offroad excursion. Sounds like it looked fantastic and the best part of all, is you kept it together. I suppose you're hosing out your leathers now eh?
