in the new road seal area? loose shingle still? did he go too wide passing and into the loose shit? roads not very wide round there.

FoxR were are ya man, stand up hope ya not too stiff today, let me know if ya need help with the bike.

[JWALKER]

nah, after that, just before cass bay. going down the hill and there is a slow vechile bay on the other lane. road was good condition

[Fox Rider]

Im all good now eh, more sympathetic for the bike... I didnt so much drop the bike, my front brakes locked up and couldnt ride it out so the only thing left to do was...

[T.W.R]

Hey there all,

Big thanks to Aaron for getting the ball rolling for the ride, and sweet ride you have yourself there !

And Diddle & co for the entertaining start to the day , especially riding up on the sight of 2 guys wrestling a XJ750 that wanted to lay down for a rest
And a good wee jaunt through the back roads into PM hospital to meet the rest of the KB crew.

Ha Dangerous , wanker mmm nah just a funny wee ginga

Felt sorry for the bloke on the Triumph Bonnie, he must have thought we were stalking him there at the beginning of the ride.

The Le Man's start at Littleriver, haha odd how some bikes were able to start themselves & wait patiently for their pilots to arrive mmm

Apart from the traffic the run up the hill was great, been 10yrs since I've been over there on 2wheels so was rusty as buggery. The dude on the SRAD750 (?? name ) ran upto the top with me & managed to complete a crazy looking passing manouver on a 4x4 ( think he was almost checking bugs on the bumper of the car coming the other way ).
Shit Akaroa was busy, annoyed there was such crowd in the chippies, that was always a compolsary feed.

The return, Rashika mmm thought Buell's had more tit than that going up hills and lols what was the 110kmh then upto 140 on the way back around to the black tulip ?, the convoy felt like a slinky . Got to get myself a new Visor now after being drilled by a stone off Thunder's rear tire & lols Thunder, those brake lights work but in funny places though

Bad news to hear about Foxrider's incident,hope nothing to major.
Smokin, top effort coming over the divide to attend.
Great pics, all who took them !
Oh and Dangerous ha still waiting for the

Unpredictable lols, that'll ease with time.

Thought you were almost at the point of stopping to crack some heads of the cars that decided to do the last minute "shit better get out of the road manouvers" in front you a couple of times though.

Ha the wind , mmm a decent screen helps

Ha! Thought you Mainlanders didn't fall off?

[Smokin]

Ha! Thought you Mainlanders didn't fall off?

He didnt fall off, the bike just vanished from underneath him.

OH I see... Righto!

[Rashika]

Unpredictable lols, that'll ease with time.

yeah true... thats the thing 'till I get to know riders a little bit and how they will react if I or someone else balls things up, I'd rather have them in front.... at least i can know what I will do...errr...generally anyway. Tho it does make for interesting riding with you lot behind wonder why you always wanna follow me?

hmmm cant actually remember that, damn... must be the alzheimers setting in ALREADY!

Ha the wind , mmm a decent screen helps

Ha geez must be Alzheimers lols,

ahhh I just remembered the first incident; some twat in a car pulled out, extremely slowly I must say for a 100km area, in front of the car in front of me, probably annoyed both me and the car driver I suspect, but ya get that eh? Annoying at the time and all ya can do is the head shake really, but as long as they dont do something else stoopid then I'll live with it.

After that I actually had one of the better trips over the hill, only acouple of cars to pass, beaut!
Better than last time when Thunder and I got chased up the hill by a porsche....damn that was funny! Then passed him downhill, he passed when we stopped and passed him again later. Nice car, and he was actually driving safely, tho quick. I rather have someone like that on my tail and even let him past, than some idiot outdriving his cars capabilities and who will prob end up killing me (and i will ALWAYS let that sorta retard past if I can, rather be alive when all is said and done)... and if I'm going to get passed by a car, at least it is a decent vehicle.
