[Qkkid]

I think a meeting in Auckland for all those interested about getting Frosty back as a moderator may have to happen this can be done on ATNR night for all those that hold this as a important Auckland showing there collectiveness on this issue.A mass email to spank maybe or maybe a petition what do you all think. For all those interested please email myself or Dawn and we will get back to you and turning up on thursday night would be great to discuss this issue and what to do about it , So lets hope for great weather so all ya turkeys turn up.
LETS GET A RECORD TURNOUT FOR FROSTY

Now i think the record is 63 bikes from memory

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Yeah it was fun but some parts were quite scary lol
e.g. when my rear brake got locked while downshifting from high speed lol

I don't blame my bike! lol It's suppose to be a "commuter"
So, you on GT250R (U know who I'm sayin), get ur ass here lol You've got a better bike so whats the doubt? lol

Will see how i go as i believe Kitty may be joining the ride and have offered her the GTR to borrow. Thats cool it may just be the following week.....On HOLIDAY now for a week so will just have some fun ....

[Xile]

It was a tough night... Guess Scorpios arn't designed to go fast, break hard and lean low lol
It was good ride tho! adrenalin pumping, fast pace ride for a single cylinder thumper

Good on you!
The Scorpio is fine in the corner but I agree with you that she's hard to keep at the same pace as bigger bikes on the straights!
From what I saw you were really really fine :P
Enjoy!

If anyone saw anything resembling a black leather wallet and a black cellphone scattered on the road last thursday can you let me know please...

Damn pocket left open. knew i shouldve worn me leathers.

[Qkchk:Me]

Yeah, but they don't look cool like tinted ones...

Neither does a scratched-up bike because we failed to see that gravel on the road

We will be having dinner in Walkworth (the Maha's will know the name of this fine establishment) so even if you cannot ride your bike you are VERY welcome to either meet us at Westgate or up @ Walkworth in your car. I may even have a spare seat on the VFR if someones wheels aint running. (PM if you want to reserve the seat - Must be able to hang on!)

LET'S SUPPORT FROSTY!

Weather is looking apsolutely awesome this week, no rain at all until Sat. So mark down the ride for THIS Thursday!!

I'm keen to come along again.Sorry if I slowed some of you faster guys up. I was a bit wobbly around a few of those corners.I'm sure Rueben would be keen again and I've talked a mate from work into coming along.Think I'll hang at the back this time...Great fun though I was buzzing.

Glad you enjoyed the ride. I felt last weeks pace was spot-on, I thoroughly enjoyed myself even tho I have been doing the same roads for more than 2 years now! Goes to show it WAS a great bunch of riders eh....and there is no need to worry about the other riders being faster/slower, just find a spot in the pack even if you start off just infront of the TEC (Tail-end Charlie) and work your way up the group. No-one is out for a race, IT SHOULD be about the ride and the social side afterwards.....


You can bring your mates and get them to bring their mates. Just got 1 houserule.

1. Don't endanger any other rider by either cutting them off or by being blatantly stupid.

As you know I give a short brief before we take off and if you wanna do warp speed, you can (at your own expense). Everyone is reminded of the risks involved. I dont care who comes as long as they don't endanger anyone else and they enjoy their ride. See you on Thursday, the weather is set to be awesome!
