Ride is generally learner friendly with pointsman system and in regard to the dark, switch on your lights

There's this thing, where the guy/gal who is 2nd in line waits and points the direction everyone is going.

Gives him the opportunity to pass a few people over the ride...

Plus the nominated "tail end charlie" with his commie can always tell you which way

Yeeeaaahh...... Still no. Maybe when I'm a bit more of a big kid. I'd feel really bad for the "Charlie"

What: A ride up some great backroads finishing with Dinner and Drinks

When: Every Thursday night after work (WEATHER PERMITTING!)

Where: Shell WESTGATE (end of the North Western Motorway)
Why: To meet other KBers, kick tyres and talk about Motorbikes

Time: Meeting there from 6.30pm, ride brief and departure @ 7pm
How: On ya bike, silly!

Pace: Open to all as long as you can do 100kph

IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT WEATHER/RIDING CONDITIONS IT WILL BE POSTED UP HERE 5PM ON THE DAY OF THE RIDE.

With Winter riding, it is best practise to use clear visors - please keep the tints/irridiums for the summer riding! We will be riding in the dark, dont ya know! Wrap up warm, as you are at the risk of getting fatigued faster by the cold.

Weekly ride after work finishing off with Dinner and Drinks at BAR AFRICA Cnr of William Pikering Dr and Omega Place, Albany. Anyone who cannot come/not keen on riding is still very welcome to join us at the pub for a social get-together 8.30pm onwards (bring ya cage if ya want..)......

The route will be discussed on the night for a good reason

. The ATNR is known to the Police, so if you wish to do 140+ speeds, suggest you go and do it somewhere else.......For those concerned about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr - 1half and is around 70kms long. We start at Westgate and finish up at Albany. The route is changed from time to time depending on group numbers and road conditions.

Disclaimer: You participate on this ride at your own risk. I will not be held accountable for anyones actions, to/from and during the ride.. Anyone who is caught endangering others by their actions may be asked to leave the ride and refused entry to forthcoming rides!

I will not be responsible for people ending up at Wellsford due to not listening to instructions nor the pointer system failing..........

Will try to make it tonight, am replacing steering head bearings on Kattie today so we shall see
