Need something to do when not riding??? Come and learn to dance with us at www.cerocstars.co.nz
I think the cruisy aspect of it will come back when we get more newbies. I personally know of three currently in the pre-group-ride stage that should be drag along-able in a couple of months' time. If that.
Anyway, I had my work cut out hanging on to some nutjob on a GSX. Sheeeat!

Fair enough too. I'm ok with them making sure people slow down coming into a town especially in afternoons/evenings when there are kids out. It's when they are picking people off on long 100km/h straights that it pisses me off.
Sounds like I missed a good ride.
Saw you riding into town on Tues Dave, the Trumpy looks good
Was a great arvo B. Still giggling from our hyper-trip back to MartinB.

Forecast is for a good day tomorrow, drizzle and gale force winds on sat, rain and southerlies on sun, and showers on mon.
Now I wish I did go out yesterday.
It was a fun night. I have to admit that I was a little worried about my first night time crossing of the great hill, but in fact I found it pretty good. Thank goodness for the SV's excellent headlights (which I had on full beam most of the time). I thought I'd be best to ride with other bikes, but in fact tail/brake lights flashing in my eyes and headlights in my mirrors were just off-putting, and I found it easier when I was on my own. Although, having said that, the old "look where you want to go" thing as you go around corners is a bit different when "where you want to go" is pitch black because your headlight is shining at the bushes on the side of the road...
Also, just my 10c, but I don't think we can call that ride "cruisey". I don't think it was really a problem for us not-so-newbie-anymore's, but we need to be careful not to entice complete newbies along and then leave them behind. (I did eventually figure out that the light behind me coming down the hill on the way home was Uncle B, presumably doing his "looking after the kids" thing again - much appreciated).
Yeah, fair enough. I hadnt been on my bike for awhile due to my back being "buggered" so I felt I needed a bit of a blat but in hindesight I probably should have taken it a little slower.... Your right about Uncle B though, hes bloody good for looking after the newer riders like he does!
