For the sake of doing something different............

Anyone who has a route or roads they want to try out or volunteer for use on the ATNR can forward their recommendations to me via PM (dont post up here or Mr Plod will know....) I will have a look at them and implement them if it fits the criteria:

1. Got to be accessed from Westgate (Within 5km radius or within the normal ATNR route)
2. Think of how many intersections there are (The more stops/intersections, the easier it is to lose people)
3. Is it a safe road? (Got to consider if it is in good condition/no gravel)
4. Got to finish at Albany (So we can drop into the normal spot for Dinner)
5. Has got to fit into a ridable route. (Has to be linked up)

Also, if anyone wants to volunteer to do the leading on any ATNR (as long as you know the route we will be taking) come up and let me know.

Any questions just PM me...........

But a message from our favourite police officer - They will be targeting the ATNR again.

But for the record, He was actually very fair and reasonable last night, I even had a laugh with him and he escorted me to dairy flat.

The offense itself (on my most sedate, slow and sensible ATNR in 1 1/2 years):

After 'cowcop' I was behind a cage, I overtook him. At the same time noticed a marked car parked in a drive on the left. Checked my mirrors... indicator on.... then disco lights.

I had overtaken a car at 134 on double yellows, in the wet, riding a thou on a 6R, and also taking a pillion - but perfectly safely.

Although there was plenty of clear road to safely overtake (even in the wet) I had to break the speed limit to do so. I was very lucky to not get a dangerous driving charge.

Of course I was on 165 demerits and my license was yet to be taken - so the officer kindly relieved me of it.

The fines are a bitch though - for the actual offence itself - $150. fair enough.
For riding a thou with a pillion on a restricted - $800.
Something is wrong with the fines system methinks... :duh:

this is weird?? every time I don't make it to the ride shit happens! O.K so last week we had a minor bin but I missed the first ride of the year (10/1/8 unofficial), and someone is snapped at 165. Before that I missed the last ride of 07 and there was a multiple bin. 5-6 weeks before I was on every ride and NOTHING not even any plod! come to think of it, I have never seen any plod on any of the rides I'v been on.
maybe it's the name? when I'm on the ride I'm the only shit that happens? or maybe I'm just good luck? you can all come up to me and give me a stroke before the ride if you want

[NinjaNanna]

No Bro - I lucked out, didn't get back from Aussie (work trip) until 2am friday morning and by that time she was too tired the cheek of it, 2 days away and you'd think she'd be good to go.

[ManDownUnder]

I have $10 that says someone else loses their license before 1/2/08. Anyone want to take me up on it?

...and there's another $20 that says we can't make it through Feb...

Friendly cages gave us a hint of what was ahead (flashing headlights) & first plod was seen just afore SH16. Noted speed limit in Waitoki is now only 50kmh, then Morcs came to grief just out of town

... *sigh*.... it's like it was pre-ordained ...
