I've lost count of the bikes you have "threatened" me with, and there be no road trips coming up... mr gijoe is the one who gets caught up in all the hex's anyway...

Can you even remember them all?

You realise you are one of the most hex-cursed and thrice damned personage I have had the unhappy circumstance to meet?

doesn't seem to worry me... you're the one in despair about sand and fields at night

Just don't break anything on any of the rides you join mmmkay? Play nicely with all the unsuspecting people who haven't experienced the disaster zone that is ....

Gremlin!

Madness- Don't feel my skills are up to riding with the big boys, I still have a fear that I'll let my enthusiasm overtake my ability on the main SATNR

That is always a problem on group rides. Ride to your own abilities. Easily said and often quoted but a darn sight harder to do in practice without a lot of willpower.

I was 2nd to last in the pack and at a very happy pace! By no means fast, I would have definitely classed it a multi-environment ride. It was the first time I had taken my new bike out on the open road (3rd ride total), going from sports positions to upright so I was taking it easy and had no complaints!

Go along mate, you'll enjoy yourself!

So what do you do on Thursday nights Paul?

[oldguy]

Yeah we went out ormiston, sandstone,etc, then up over west road, some marbles but a great run down the coast and back.

Good turnout, and good to Catch up with OLD GUY, a nice nana ride down playing TEC, stepped it up on the way home.........refreshing

Great to get out after a long break, I will have to go out on the traditonal SATNR soon, get shown how slow I still am

Sorry we missed you eat or be eaten, we left pretty much 6.00 sharp, come out on the SATNR & let the crew know, there is always some one who will look after the noobies, play TEC etc

cheers Richard, thanks for the beer, that was a good ride mate, as usual I was late just court you guys leaving.
That was a good ride down for me, just did my own thing really enjoyed it, but the ride home, F**K what can I say, night riding sux, bad enough I can't see to well at night, add dark visor, my head lights on high, look like dip on every one else's bike, could't see the corners till i was well into them, was glad to see street lighting, anyway cheers for the ride bloody good turn out as well.

Hey guys. Just want to say a BIG UP too you guys for the help on the side of the road. Was great to meet some new faces. Also sorry for fuking up the ride for ya all. Massive ups for Gordon who kindly transported bike to botany. Yes he was a fukn character, but a great guy. Bike fixed on Friday and then headed back to Tauranga on Saturday. Was great to meet you all and hopefully next time will be able to complete ride. Once again thanx for photos.

[gijoe1313]

No probs, glad that we were only dealing with a blown radiator hose rather than a more serious issue! Glad you kept it upright when it sprayed it over the rear initially!

All fun and games, its all part of biking innit?

Give me regards to DMNTD ... hopefully he hasn't finished all the bourbon I dropped off to him yet!

Gees mate, thought that R1 looked familiar, could only see the back of your head, so was not sure it were you. thought na, what he be doing up this way.
Bugga, catchup another time. Went on the (other) SATNR thats how big the rides getting in the south we have to run 2 rides, not only confuses us, but also the cops.

[hedgier1]

Old guy was a shame not to catch up with ya and yes it was me hehehehe. Was a secret mission to Aucks. NOT!!!! Thought I would give the SATNR a go. Was very impressed so might have to come up and do it again. Anyways hopefully bike won't breakdown next time.

Anyone want to buy a used R1? Radiator hose replaced and engine in great condition. anyone keen message me.
