Hey Thani-B that wasn't you and PJ I saw at the Telestra event center on Monday by any chance. I would have said hi, just wasn't sure, sorry if it was.

Ran in to Jafar there, all he wanted to do was sell me a raffle ticket in a tractor

was good just to catchup.

I am keen send me details

Yeah that was me. I wasn't 100% sure if it was you so didnt say anything either lol.

He tried to convince me to get a ticket as well, didnt work though.

150km and a visor full of bugs before sundown — it must be summer evening riding weather again!

Looking forward to seeing you soon, OG!

Isn't it ? Te he he, bloody Hell Old Guy you must've been to the rides more often than me this year.
I'll be back soon.

**DidJit** · 18th November 2010, 14:58

It's on like Donkey Kong.

**caseye** · 18th November 2010, 16:17

Had to pull the radiator out of the wifes new bike ( the one I'm allowed to ride) this afternoon, so damn it all i'll be along next week.
You're all going to have to go slow so I can keep up though.
Only being a little ol NV400 Nonda Custom shes a bit on the tortise side.
Fun to ride but.
Take care out there guys and girls.
Be seeing you soon.

Turkey!!! =D

**DidJit** · 18th November 2010, 21:06

We bikers (and most other motorists) are known to complain about turkeys on the road sometimes, however, we don't usually mean it literally!

Still, let's take in the positives tonight: we rode some fantastic little roads again in good compamy, enjoyed a few yarns at the pub in good company and... the SATNR RIDES AGAIN!

(Yes, DidJit's a happy lil' chappy...)

I was wondering what the hell that was. Nice ride. That Shinko rear tyre of mine was a little slippery on the way back (wet roads). Had to switch to reserve at AK side of bombays and thought (I can make it home: Mt Roskill) started spluttering at mangere bridge, nursed it to the mobil in Onehunga, just coasted in.

Caseye: no bagging the 400's.

I remember the Shinkoes on the Hyo requiring a little more attention in the wet. Dry cowshit on the roads appears to get rather slippery with a bit of drizzle as well — Suzi's back wheel got very slippy crossing that bridge on Mangatangi Road. And hey, now you know your tank range!

Leading the pack in the dark on the way home, came up over a rise to immediately discover a turkey in the middle of the lane facing us, head cocked, one eye staring at Suzi's headlight on full beam.

Adjusted my line and passed it (closely) on the left. The thing must've shit itself with 3 big, bright, noisy lights whizzing past it like that.

Gotta say, turkeys look pretty freaky at night.
But hey, all in all, it was a good ride.
