ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Qkchk:Me]

Not me - will be at the beach!

Yeah, yeah rub it in! We could go to the beach too but I think I'd freeze my nipples off even before I reached the water. The wind is soooo bloody cold today. Its only around the 16C mark.

Memissed yesterday and almost passed out from not riding
but jonnys dance did the treat, alass a day late.

Awesome, you may have to see if you can convince Neil to come along!!!

[Qkchk:Me]

Cheers for that Qkchk! Yeah, 100kph is sweet, she'll actually do a fair bit more than that, but my old man and my bro are running R1s and it just makes me feel sloooooow if it's not *very* tight 'n' twisty! Hopefully see you guys tonight!

We have a VTR250, CBR250, NSR250, ZXR250, Hornet250 and even a Virago 250 that are frequently on the ride, so if you can ride with a couple of R1's you'll be A.O.K! If ya old man and bro want to come they are welcome to check the ride out.

I'm in, catch ya'll in a coupla hrs

[crashe]

and even a Virago 250 on the ride,

Yep thats me....... the queen of slow riders who is usuallly TEC......
And Im not that far behind some of the mid section of riders.

So go on the ride and have fun......
Just always ride at YOUR OWN pace and no one elses.

They always wait at corners to point us stragglers in the right direction...
And dont think that you have to keep up with the faster riders..... cos it isnt a big issue with us KBers.
They just want to have that smoke at each stop....... hehehehe

At least we have not had many binns recently, I think people are starting to take the pre-ride breifings onboard more now. Reducing the speed has helped alot too. Ive said it once and I will say it again:

"Who needs to go fast on the straights (and get busted) when its more fun to do legal speeds in a corner?"

[Disco Dan]
