ATNR Akl Thurs NIGHT RIDE & Drinks 25th May @ 6.30pm at WESTGATE

As has already been mentioned, great turn out and as always good company at the pub.

And for the record, I paid for that fucking burger, all $17.50 of it. That equates to 2.57 Mc Chicken Combo's from Mc Donalds.

Tasted bloody great though.

Great night, thanks Mr & Mrs Qk!

Much enjoyed the night riding again, good to get the adrenalin rush of screaming through the dark unlit country roads in a group ride, pity a small group got separated at the beginning but pleasing that they rejoined us just before Kaukop. Was a laugh during our stop at Dairy Flat when swanny came around the corner on his relatives *Hyosung Aquila* scraping the footpeg.

Speights Alehouse was good tonight, the pub even shouted us all 2 large plates of wedges & sour cream + more if we wanted it, seems a certain kber had a chat with them and mentioned something about a pub in Wellington shouting its patrons food!? Good on them I say, they recognise the business prospect of a bunch of us turning up there every/most Thurs nights so therefore increase the good service I reckon! Shame the Old Albany didn't do the same - THEIR LOSS.

Until the next ride peeps...

Ps. I think it's just fine & dandy that we only have plates on the rear and not the front hehe!

You can try have a lane splitting battle with some of 'the zxr riderz ov krieg'

if you wish mark, then you can see what a zxr can do

Sigh.. couldn't make it due to gym.. ended up having the inaugural zxr riderz ov kreig ride, went well.. some nice urban routes and places. Welcome to the crew, you know who you are.

Thanks again Qkchk and Qkkid.
Awesome night out and some good riding through the twistys in the dark. Really good to see some new faces there, nice to meet you all.

**Blackbuell** · 26th May 2006, 08:04

A good night had by all,nice to meet some wellington Kbers & some new akl kbers as well,food at the pub awsome,thanks qkchk,see ya all next week.

Yes i did see that van,i was good tonight he liked me ,he didn,t flash me !!!!

**Keystone19** · 26th May 2006, 08:53

Well I didn't see the van or orange flashes so either I went a different way or I was being a good girl!

Great to see Frosty at the servo (don't tell pillion but he sneaked out to say hi). Bit hard to hear what he's saying these days though!

Sorry about the *ahem* slight detour some of us took right at the beginning. My bad for not listening to the briefing although in my defence I was following Ninjaneil who obviously didn't listen either! Blackbuell spent all night trying to stop us and tell us to turn around but by the time he did it was too late and we were nearly in Kaukapakapa so decided to keep going.

And my bruised and battered leg was fine on the bike but boy am I paying for it now! I think a day lying on the sofa with my leg up is in order...

Lucky for some!

Found the night group riding hard work. Even on roads I knew. Not being able to leave high-beam on caused me a few problems in the corners because of a wonderful dead-spot with my headlight beams.

Nice to catch up, bit of a change for being a usually unsociable bastard

...I really need to find a bike that doesnt attract males.

**Qkkid** · 26th May 2006, 09:24

Oh yes thanks to the Speights Ale House for the free food

we will be back for more next thursday night

**Fatjim** · 26th May 2006, 10:28

Yep great turnout. didn't know there was that many people in Auckland that spoke english.

Beer was good, and some nice new shiny books to oogle.

Good to meet some more faces.

I'll be back.

Thanks Jill. blame me.

These thursday nights seem to be getting better and better.

Thanks to everyone for a great night. And thanks to the staff at the speights ale house for great service and for the freebee. cheers.

Hey Zed , your bike was at it again after leaving the pub, its front headlight keeps trying to stare at the stars,lol

So who got flashed on the way home then? i didnt think we broke the speed limits,

See you all next week.
