    Wind was definitely a PITA, I was such a nana going up paekak hill (then again that wasnt all the wind, cruiser + squid + wind = slow Lias)

    Damn - just my bloody luck eh? There were cool people there and i didn't meet them? Bugger...

    Nah - lotsa fun and a nice way to say Merry Christmas to all you nice people so to speak. The poor old Trumpy is a bit under gunned for you louts and I was getting VERY worried when the 150 was looming in my mirrors. Well done that man...

    But yes - you are all very nice people and life is good...

    You bike sounded nice and you were riding well - whats the problem?

    I could not resisted passing though 'cos the smoooooth twisty bit was up ahead and apparently they didn't have bumps in the 60's cos the Trumpy suspension struggles a little on the fast rough twists..

    150? Oh, Phoenix on the FXR? Yeah, he treats that thing like a rollerblade, eh?

    That Norton could move too. I have some learning to do. Still, slowly ... slowly ...

    I didnt say it was a bad thing I was going like a nana :-) I'd rather be a slow nana than an ultra fast corpse, which I would be if I treated my cruiser like a sportsbike on corners

    Was good to put faces to a bunch of names, yourself included, and always good to catch up with sels.

    First drops hit me as i was heading up the hill to my parents, got home, got the bike in their garage, went inside sat down and it persisted with extreme rapidity.. Pretty well timed I thought

    I didn't - I managed about that time the other way round, and I hadn't bothered with my overtrou

    Doesn't take long to get rather wet, does it?

    Good evening, though, if a little long - having missed the start at the duckpond, I went over to the Tin Hut first, where FatJim directed me back to the Sandbar. I think that's the first time I've had to fill up twice on one CWNR

    Then I get home to find I have no proper internet, and have to make do with GPRS

    I too lost my KB Group ride virginity. Great to see so many KBers in one place even if I only got to talk to a few of you and forget all of the names and KB Handles

    I must say for a "Cruisy" ride, we set a brisk pace ... but worked for me as that's my twice-daily commuter track. Thanx guys (and it was all guys tonight ... or does "Nasty" count since she turned up at the Sandbar?)

    I really enjoyed the chats with the short rides in between. Isn't that what it's all about huh. Count me in for 1st up next year!
