Good turnout for such a cold lousey night, guys! Was a pleasure to catch up with most of you and a couple of new faces. (sorry I didnt get to talk to some of you....) Plenty of food (nice desserts!) and beverages goin around. Was a quick, short ride from Westgate to Speights via Riverhead-Coastville Highway. As soon as we had started, the ride was over

Highlight of the night was Dovers new bike................ dear you ask.

No ride on next week but will resume back on the 25th. Got to head south so will miss out not only on the Thurs night ride, TD3 and also the Minimoto racing at Mt Wellington............hmmmm I can really pick my weekends.

Family and friends call, so gotta do what I gotta do. See you guys on the 25th.

Me, myself, and my luke warm mince and cheese pie.

My wife and I got told early this evening that our back-up offer to purchase a house went through... so we went out and had a few drinks.

It's a good thing I've got a couple of toys already. Hopefully I don't have to sell too many to pay this bloody thing back.

Maybe I should get to meet a few people by randomly inviting kiwibikers around enmass... see how much we can freak out the neighbours

sorry i didnt turn up wildboarmouse, had a new front tyre put on at 6.30pm last night and didnt want to ride it in the wet too much.
im keen to catch up some other time tho to check out the packrack L brackets

Was a surprisingly pleasant ride given that I was on pillion and spent most of the time with my eyes closed holding on for grim death. Bit of a laugh watching Dover on his latest toy when I did have my eyes open though...

I particularly liked the fireplace at the new venue!

Good to meet some new people.

See you next time...

ill try to surface at the one....damn gpx is only running on one cylinder though

The new venue is heaps nicer than the previous pub.
Staff are much better looking too...

Ride was short and shite. The company at the pub made up for it

Had a good ride to westgate,didn't even get wet,Had a new tyre just put on so hadn't even had time to scrub it in,( Dover said,Bigger Chicken Strips Than what FINN has on his Tyre!!!!)
If you saw what Dover turned up on,with a tyre that wide you would be bound to have chicken strips,
A short ride to the pub,a good chat at the pub,nice cruise home still with no rain.

More like a whole chicken!

Better look out everyone, Dover's trying to set the new standard. Sport bikes are so yesterday. (Even tho it DID go ok for what is was.....)
