So who was the knob end who decided to bail for the pub when it started to rain and overtake the turning traffic, headed for Paremoremo, on the right?!!!!! Far Canal. Had to overshoot the corner..takng the bunch with me. I know it was the right road choice to make but you could have used a little more tack to inform us that you had a direct line to the weather gods rather than trying to sweep us before you like some sort of two wheeled bulldozer.

I had an absalute ball!

First half of the ride was sublime, I gave the old girl a real workout, had both ends sqirming but no pucker moments at all.
Second half........well.....ummmmm.....no comment
anyhooo that was my last ride for a while as I'm doing some work on the RF so I will see everybody next time I'm there

Really enjoyed the ride, first half was great roads (until Peak which is license losing material), and decided to head home to fix daughters car from Dairy Flat and got the Noahs Ark treatment going over Albany Hill, then Carl showed up for the drag off contest in Albany but all lights green, revenge will have to wait, and detoured direct to pub, didnt pass go (and no $200), but was best choice seeing the rag dolls arrive from second half.
Thanks Dawn for good night (daughters car can wait!!)
Keith, you are riding well, tho license could be a slim grip, about time you moved up to a Suzy, your going well, and Neil, you too.

HMM actually on the TEC front--methinks TEC should have a celly with ride leaders number on it.
At least then if TEC has to stop someone has a clue

People used to think you were a hypocritical fool .Then you opened your mouth and confirmed it.

Well I may complain about riders on the ATNR some more from now on...ArcherWC seems to think he can buy my forgiveness with a simple beer...it will take at least a 6pack to buy me off buddy! And Rob bought me a beer for saving his license a couple of weeks back....thats gotta be at least worth a box...common! what are you boys thinking here!

That plus the one I bought myself....had to wait a while to ride home.....gud harfterable, coonstanoon!
