Anyone out tonight? Or at least at the pub? I'm guessing I'll be on the DRooZer as still have not got the wheel bearing kit for GIXXER but will make an appearance

Planning on it

**Latte** · 13th January 2011, 14:55

I'm off for the Coro tomorrow and have HD on Sunday so I'll see how my luck holds asking for a ride tonight as well (I can feel the ear bashing coming now).

fun ride last night... was a lot of fun with Brad on the back made for some interesting handling

Really good to see Ninjananna out again, way to go.

**NinjaNanna** · 14th January 2011, 13:14

certainly was a nice ride, short and sweet, also avoided all of the areas where I'm paranoid about the ridiculous 80km/hr speed limits.

**NinjaNanna** · 20th January 2011, 15:15

Who's coming out tonight? I need to road test a few bits I've added to the bike for the NET next weekend so I'll be there - unless final installation doesn't go so well this evening.

See you there!

**Ntoxcated** · 20th January 2011, 16:11

I'll be at the pub. Still need new tyres.

**OutForADuck** · 20th January 2011, 16:22

I'll make the pub but might not be able to make the ride depending on when I get out of work. See you there.

Anyone out tonight? Or all resting up for net ?

**NinjaNanna** · 27th January 2011, 15:12

I'm planning on riding, provide Mrs Nanna hasn't had a bad day with the kids.

Besides I need to do a final road test before the NET

**yachtie10** · 27th January 2011, 15:16

**Latte** · 27th January 2011, 17:04

see you in a bit then

Well as the guys and gals at the pub already know, last night we had an additional Tail and Charlie of the tin can variety. Whilst I'll honestly say having a marked police car tail me for about 1/3 of the ride somewhat detracted from my ride, I must also say I was impressed by this cop.

For all the slack they get on this website, under no circumstances did I feel like I was being threatened, tormented, goaded. He/she wasn't trying to be a dick and on many corners fell a little behind, so it wasn't a game for them. It must have become obvious after a short time that I wasn't about to do anything dumb, yet the cop never bothered to over take me so they could catch up with the rest of the group. So I'm quite certain they weren't out there specifically to check on us last night.

Above all what really impressed me was that the disco lights never came on at all. I'd thought for sure that given the supposedly current "motorcycle safety campaign" they'd at least have pulled me over for a quick roadside check.

All up a good policing experience, I didn't do anything dumb, they didn't do anything dumb and everyone went on their own little way happy.
