TCWNR - Wellington 2006/2007

[Lissa]

Yeah, thats the trouble I've been having lately. My mate wasn't getting my txt's until hours later or even days. We'd be sitting in a bar having a beer and he'd get a txt from me asking him what he's up to tonight. Bloody annoying!!

Hmmm wow... I have the same problem with my phone.... I send a txt in the morning, and people dont get it until late at night, sometimes early early morning and they get grumpy with me. My phone is quite old, but I am not sure if thats the reason.

[Wasp]

The pace was just right too (only got overtaken by one 250!)...............the guy with his daughter on the back was a pretty good guide as to the severity of the next corner too!

Haha, the guy on the 250 was me - sorry but it was getting dangerous following you into corners

that was no guy with his daughter - that was knight rider with his little sister on the back!

Yeah sorry it was the first time I've been down there and I had no idea how severe the corners were (just using Knight Rider's brake lights as a guide!) so was probably braking a bit too much - seemed easier on the way back though

I'm not sure how I'd take that, Matt. Seems Wasp didn't like your lines! lol

Well, when I followed you to Eastbourne, I was quite impressed that you didn't appear to be braking into the corners. (No brake light coming on) I assumed you were engine braking. Perhaps Wasp was a bit too close and felt the best thing was to pass you.

Thanks for compliment your shiny helmets looked good too!

I tend to use engine braking most of the time, although maybe I should check my brake light too

I've no probs with people overtaking (never been called dangerous before, I'm soooo proud!) coming from a trials background anything over 50kph seems ballistic!

Fact of life with txt'ing I'm afraid - nothing to do with the age of your phone. Told my kids a million times but since its very quick most of the time they don't believe me.. Oh well..

If you want realtime comms - voice is the way!

[Wasp]

I didnt mean YOU were dangerous Matt, just the way I was following - trying to pass a bigger bike on a 250 is no easy feat - with you pulling away due to better acceleration out of the corners by the time i caught up it was the next corner, hence i was going faster into the corner and both braking

I would normally have just backed off but had others behind me (that plus passing the cbr250 infront of you is a wicked achievement for a bandit)

still, you're not slow by any means!

happy to help & yup it was my lil sis & was my first time on that road 2 so I just took it easy. with the lil sis on the back i took it even easier I got overtaken by a 250cc who i saw catch up very quickly & didn't wana hold anyone up so I just slowed down and indicated left to say go past. Was a very nice ride even the lil sis had a blast. thanks guys am gonna miss these rides as it's back to work for me next week

[Wasp]

oooh, im so proud all these people talking about me catching up - the speed i had before the bin must be returning!

I thought you were going fairly quick with your sis on the back there knight rider, it was my responsibility to pass you - you letting me past was appreciated but not neccessary (i would have backed completely off because of your pillion)

bump this back to page 1.......
I'll go over paikak on wed arvo see what the state of it is for the night ride.

[Wasp]

we came back that way today, its just the bottom/very start where the turn off is and its fine - barely a loose stone to be seen

[unhingedlizard]
