Hamilton Rides

**ZeroIndex** · 21st May 2006, 22:30

Hey, just wondering.. Why are there so few Hamilton rides? I'm not much for organizing rides, but hey, if anyone is planning on doing one, please let me know

could of followed me yesterday

over to Rotorua, then up SH27 (and a few diverts) stopped at maramarua for smoko, back down 1 to hamilton.

I was hoping to head down 16 from puke, but was running out of daylight.

On a more important note: I clocked the V yesterday (speedo off the clock)
Took some effort (and a hill, and wee bit of wind on my back) the twins were screaming for mercy, but I finally hit 140kms

Poor wittle wascal v-twin

next time you go for one of your rides, give me a pm.. I've only been on 2 rides (the Toy Run, which isn't really a ride.. more of a commute & the one organized by Carver, which was pretty good, except for me binning.. and momentum..)

**Biohazard** · 22nd May 2006, 10:49

Let us know aswell, could do with riding with other people for a change

**TerminalAddict** · 22nd May 2006, 10:55

all these guys on 250+ bikes

...

poor old me and ZeroIndex will be left behind

Might be a lesson or 2 for me tho'

K, I PM'd Carver last night, and I'm really hoping he will organize a ride (as the last one he organized was really fun)..

Brianemone: I think Sundays are the best days for rides, as some people (eg. me) work on Saturdays..

depending on how sick my kr is (need to clean the muffler or something coz she's smoking like 10 2 stroke bikes all at the same time) i'm up for a ride this weekend...yea will probably get left behind with zero and terminal but if you guys don't smoke it's probably a good idea i stick at the back

hehe i doubt the wee kr will top much more than 100 km as well so you guys aren't alone

keep me posted on whether its a go ahead

Don't count on it.. My bike may be one of the slowest, but I'm getting REALLY good at cornering.. and I'm gonna actually have protective gear really soon (instead of just boots, quasi gloves, helmet, and a fake leather Halensteins jacket and whatever pants I'm wearing at the time..)

we'll have to do some straight roads then, so I can wind the v-twin up to 140 again

no fair.. my bike hardly makes it to 110km/h.... and that's when it's not grumpy..

I'm sure you know the Caltex roundabout on Te Rapa Straight? I can get round that at 50-55km/h with my toe down..
..finally.. having to slow down for boy-racers on weekend nights.. I always thought they were fast going round that roundabout, but when in front of them, you just leave them way behind..
