    Wow, so many bikes tonight and it certainly feels like Summer is on the way. Jonny and I had an interesting time searching under bridges and in the bushes for a certain rider that went AWOL.

    And does anyone know who the little destructive boy in the attached picture is? I think he might have a future in landscaping.

    With that sort of mentality it's no wonder people repeatedly pull you up for the dangerous mistakes you make, Mark.

    (called in at washworld to give the girl a shower b4 rollin in at home cuz dont think mum wouldve been too happy seeing her like that either)
    Glad to hear you are "OK", it really was blessing in disguise having the mud to slide into instead of a bank or rocks.

    I thought you would have gone to washworld and hose yourself off while in the gear

    Welcome to KB.... hopefully see you on another ride soon.

    maybe try ride faster?
    Mark I don't know you, so its all by the book mate.

    Have you considered perhaps you don't have to pass?

    Try having that as an option next time. Passing bigger bikes don't mean you have bigger balls. No one is interested in you proving anything.

    Also, when I was pulled over with a few other bikers, on a non-public road, the cops could do nothing about, a random biker from no where decided to do a perfect circle.
    You'll need quick time, unless someone can change it for me

    Good ride tho, lots of bike
    glad your ok lilsel i was right behind you and got my boots muddy too, take it easy

    Awesome turnout and a really nice ride under moonlight!!! Look forward to seeing numbers like that in the future. Thanks again to the Speights Ale House, you guys are great.

    Good to catch up with TL as well, always great to have someone representing the Norfland crew!!!!

    Have a wicked weekend!!!

    Mark, perhaps you should go and study all JSG posts and see if there is something you can learn from his experience.

    Perhaps when everyone is telling you to cool it there is just a small chance that the masses are correct.

    You are young, you are supposed to be stupid, but don't abuse the privilege.

    What an interesting ride!

    It started with my little conversation with the man at the petrol station. I think once I took my helmet off and he saw the lippy and coiffured hair the rant he was having to the petrol station attendant about my supposed pushing in mellowed somewhat. I think he was surprised to see a girl...

    After the burn-out session I decided to ride at the back and played catch up to the masses only to come around the corner and find a rather mud covered rider.

    After this I carried on at the back with Jonny Rotten until we came to Peak Road. At this point Swantiger and Jonny decided to turn around and check out the ditches and bridges for a missing rider. So I took over Tail End Charlie and picked up the remaining stragglers through to Dairy Flat.

    At Dairy Flat there was no sign of the missing rider so we decided to continue. Just as the last of us were heading off the missing rider turned up so we sent him on to toward the pub.

    At this point I climbed onto SixPackBacks GSXR1000 by mistake and rode off last again. I tried to stay behind the missing rider who was now found but decided that was far too dangerous so headed to the pub. We later heard that the missing rider who was found was stopped by the cops and found again by Jonny Rotten.

    It was time for a drink at that point...



    Lovely night for a ride though wasn't it...

    Cool

    Mark Mark Mark......

    After you asked me and I said you could
    You did a quick ride past the young boys and with your hands on the handlebars....which you did sensibly
    You then go off and do something silly after that.


    Mark, there is one thing you must NEVER do and that is undertake out there, no matter, who the rider is in front of you.

    There would have been a better place to have passed the rider further on up the road. At anytime the rider could decide to change his line of ride and BANG, you and that rider goes down, hence the reason of NEVER undertaking.


    It is NOT a race but a enjoyable ride for everyone.

    Ride safe and think of others out there on the road.

    Cheers for the ride guys, what a great first ride, Im pretty sure I was enjoying the stunts as much as the kids! The pace of the ride was great, it was good to be able to ride without fear of getting left behind by all the bigger bikes. Was great meeting you guys and thanks to anyone who gave me feedback on my riding, I'll have to remember where my highbeam switch is for next week.

    Now to toss up whether to go on the pie ride or not!
