ATNR (Auckland Thursday night ride) - Discussion thread

[Finn]

Licence back now, so count me in for tonight, yeeha

Is it on tonight? Might turn up for a beer later. What time to you get to the pub... and what pub is it?

[YLWDUC]

I don't think the weather will be a stopper, so I'd assume tonights still on Finn. Last I heard it was Bar Africa at the end of things.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

They get there about 8.15 i think it is called the africa bar in albany but check first post

In general you should be ok with your leather for now but I would invest in a pair of long-johns (thermalwear) to wear underneth. Oxford sell a good range in most bike shops http://www.oxprod.com/index.php?pg=3...id=77&pid=0&p= and keep wearing leather, cause your skin will thankyou for it! Leather can be quite cosy (good insulator) as long as you are warm to start with, if you are feeling cold before you head off then you will strike problems.

A headlight with cable ties isn't quite good enough for tonights ride....

Took longer than I thought to clean my babe...but she looks good, tomorrows little challenge, cleaning and polishing the fairings then the mission to put them back on the bike.
