hey guys...

thanks for letting me wooble along with yous!
i didn't go with the faster boys and girls.. i would have slowed them down too much...
but as it was they were saying that they bloused out and followed us average Joe's to the look-out on pie-cock hill...
it sure was great to do it in the dry for a change...
great to met up with some new faces!!!!

till next

Aj

You have arms don't ya? The tritanic has a brake light switch on the rear brake I think? Indicators? pfft

All that aside - so nice to see all you people out for a ride - so sorry i didn't stop but i was jumping out of my skin because i just had not had an opportunity to ride for so long - had to keep fanging off to Point Howard for the Wgn Classic M/C Club xmas do.

Humble appologies to the last rider of your group - we were both a little closer to the centre that either of us was comfortable with (nice jink btw) which given recent events probably gave us both something to think about. However both of us handled it because we were not at 10/10ths and well done that person. I certainly backed off and funnily enough enjoyed the ride just as much.

On the way back - the baleful glare of the oil pressure light turned its beady little red eye on me which caused much use of very bad words into my helmet. (I've been having mucho problems with duff oil pumps etc). We were at speed and once I checked oil was circulating I surmised the recently replaced oil pressure swithc had joined its dear departed sister in going tits up - thankfully a test at home confirmed that (el phew)...

Still - had a fecking GREAT ride - hope you did too...

On behalf of Golf Novemeber Two Five Zero, who is a little bit out of breath tapped out going up the Haywards, I had a great time and it was really good to put more names to more faces, the Kendogs [just loved that seat on the Hornet Mrs K], Julia, AJTurbo, Dafe, AD1, and you all I spoke to.

Been down the inlet side of the Paekakariki Hill several times, tonight was first time coming up from that side. Much appreciated the feedback from the rider behind me [red Ducati?], when we stopped at the top of the P/Hill.

First time out to the Waterfront bar there, definitely in the ride itinerary now.

Heads Up and Enjoy

Oh - forgot to add

Is there someone in the group with a smaller bike that was struggling to see by the light of their headlamp? Um - seriously - check the earths or something (happy to help) as the light was yellower than a jaundiced chinaman born in a custard factory.

Well one of my headlight bulbs has blown. I've given up trying to see anything with those lights.

Wasp, does your previous post mean you're going to have your bike back for next week?

Awesome ride guys. I had a blast. I really enjoyed piecok. I'm still grinning. Sorry we lost a bunch of you on the way home. Where did you go? We waited for you.

Sphinx, you're doing really well for 6 weeks of riding. Keep it up!!

!!

Um.. OK but they can't be 'that' bad or do all these models suffer from poor lights? These things can usually be improved. Let me know if I can help.
