She should be run in and ready for an oil change by the time I get to Wanganui on the 26th. Grab me either there or at the Taupo thingymawhatsit on the following days and we'll get our swingin' hats on and have a motorcycle key party.

Hey Matt

If you just want to do a bit of a ride give me a call on 0211 904 281 we could meet up in Albany - I'm really keen to take the new baby for a bit of a run, kinda test the waters before deciding whether to ride it to Wahi tomorrow or my ZX9.

First though I need to get it home and re-attached the sprocket cover that I had fixed today.

Cheers

Shane

Anyone heading to the pub at all tonight?

Weather looks crap this morning in Jaffaville but it is clearing and the forecast for today is:

Issued by MetService at 03:25am 21-Dec-2007
Northland, Auckland and Coromandel Peninsula
Cloud and isolated showers, clearing south of the Harbour Bridge by midday and fine spells developing.

Weather is supposed to be top-notch till Xmas day..........

**Qkchk:Me** · 21st December 2007, 11:54

Weather is improving

and its going to be warm as tonight because of the cloud cover...........

So who is coming out for ride tonight?

**nudedaytona** · 21st December 2007, 13:39

I'm keen - I'm a newbie though so don't want to hold any speedfreaks up

I'll be heading to Warkworth straight after picking Betty up. What time do you think you guys will be arriving at the pub?

It's not a crazy-fast ride, and all levels of experience are catered for. Just turn up; you'll be well looked after.

I am going to be leaving Huntly with 0km on her odometer, you know, and I would never violate a manufacturer's recommended running-in procedure!

Anyway, I'll be stopping in Albany to plop Stickchick on the pillion seat. My Warkworth ETA is probably 2030 - 2100.

**jrandom** · 21st December 2007, 14:25

Actually, scratch that. My bike's just leaving Waiouru, so I won't be departing Huntly until 9pm-ish at best. No Warkworth for me tonight!

I'll have to catch yous fullas in due course at a later date.
